Millennials: Holiday Season New Moon Mental Health Handbook with Ex-Therapist Anna Binder-Riordan

In this healing episode of the Growth, Grace and Gratitude podcast, host Ari Bliss speaks with Anna Binder Reardon, a former therapist turned novelist, about her journey of healing and self-discovery. In the Holiday Season series, these episodes offer guidance for every empath to learn the importance of vulnerability, to understand the challenges of self-sabotage, & to revel in nature as part of the recovery process. Anna shares insights from her book, 'Weathersfield Road,' which explores themes of addiction, mental illness, & the quest for self-acceptance. The conversation also touches on navigating mental health during the holidays & the therapeutic power of writing and storytelling!Chapters00:00 Introduction to Anna Binder-Riordan02:05 Power of Vulnerability05:50 Understanding Self-Sabotage08:05 Spirituality in Recovery10:41 Connection with Nature & Animals12:51 Mental Health Tips for the Holidays14:51 Changing Inner Narratives16:31 The Journey of Healing & Therapy18:29 Writing as a Therapeutic ProcessAnna Binder Reardon (@millenialauthoranna on Instagram) is a former therapist who writes novels & personal essays about people in therapy.
