The Heroes' Journey PT2 - The Initiation

For the first anniversary of The Holistic Psychiatrist Podcast, I want to honor the outstanding people I've encountered in my holistic psychiatric practice. These individuals (patients and a mother of a patient) have shown true grit and courage when facing the challenges of mental illness. I admire them and have grown from knowing them.In The Heroes' Journey parts 1-3, we will enjoy, for the first time, an extraordinary panel of six participants (Allyson, Ana, Jack, Justin, Peter, and Tanya) meeting together to share their personal hero’s and heroine’s journeys.These strong, courageous, and intelligent individuals inspire us as they share their poignant stories and experiences during the three phases of the heroes' journey:1) The Departure into the Unknown—the initial encounter with formidable challenges, intense suffering, and unexpected weaknesses.2) The Initiation—navigating new territory, overcoming obstacles, developing discipline, learning lessons, and gaining skills.3) The Return—coming back with gifts from the healing process: positive rewards, transformations, and outcomes.I hope The Heroes' Journey Series will strengthen you along your own hero's or heroine's journey. Part II: The Initiation—Navigating new territory, overcoming obstacles, developing discipline, learning lessons, and gaining skills.For more about Dr. Lee, please visit: Website: www.holisticpsychiatrist.comYouTube: The Holistic PsychiatristClick on the Holistic Updates Sign up for weekly stories and insights: Holistic UpdatesTo schedule consultations or appointments, call her office at 240-437-7600The content provided by this podcast is for informational purposes only and has not been approved by the U.S. FDA.
