Manage episode 398323292 series 3367041
#96: Michelle Costigan (she/her) is a licensed clinical professional counselor, clinical alcohol and drug counselor supervisor, art therapist, and yoga instructor. She believes that movement and nature have saved her life countless times and enjoys being able to share these tools with others through her role as The Phoenix's program manager in Las Vegas. Tune in to hear Michelle's story, including:
- What recovery means to her, including aspects adapted from the SAMSHA definition.
- Her experience working in clinical psychology ... and the scary but life-changing decision to leave her private practice and embark on a new career journey.
- Permission slips: allowing yourself to intentionally take up space and show up authentically in whatever pain you are experiencing.
- The incredible power of community healing.
