It takes a very special kind of person to go through the sort of career path that she went through and come out the other side and still love what she's doing and still be able to give back to other people in the way that she's doing right now.
What do therapy, tattoos, and buying a house during a pandemic have in common? They all feature in Jay Casale's conversation with Allison Guilbault on this episode of 'The Lighter Side'. Allison, a mental health counselor with a rich background working with diverse and challenging clients, shares her unique path to private practice. From supporting rape victims and prisoners in solitary confinement to helping members of the LGBTQA+ community, Allison's journey is anything but ordinary.
Jay and Allison dive into the critical role of mental health discussions within communities, offering practical coping skills for trauma and self-validation. The conversation also touches on the significant impact of COVID-19 on mental health, exploring alternative mindfulness and meditation techniques that can help during these trying times. But it's not all heavy topics; Jay and Allison also find time to laugh about the quirks of buying a house during a pandemic.
They share inside jokes, including the term 'raggedy-bag', adding a light-hearted touch to an otherwise profound discussion. If you're interested in mental health, personal growth, or just need a good laugh, this episode offers a bit of everything.
