Let's talk trauma, let's talk safe spaces and let's talk with Deon!

Melissa and Susan sit down and chat with Deon, a service provider that practices at Grove. With a long background working in Community Mental Health, Deon joined the team at Grove 5 years ago.  Deon talks about how he engages the trauma experienced by clients, and helps them to process that. Deon talks about "Big T trauma and Small t trauma" and the differences in those - but also the similar impact they can have on how someone thinks. Deon really specializes in creating a safe space that lets people share deeply - and this helps clients move through emotions. More importantly, Deon is an Alabama fan - Roll Tide! Remember that listening to this podcast is not therapy. It might be therapeutic, but it isn’t a replacement for good mental health treatment. We can help with getting you connected with a good therapist. Check out our website.  Grove: A Healing Collective
