The Long Way Back to the Work You're Meant For

Some people know at twelve that they want to be a counselor. Diana took the long way, starting in music and songwriting before a class in disguise, a chance conversation, and a feeling that kept resurfacing led her back to the work she was meant for. In this warm conversation, Melissa sits down with Diana, a former Grove intern stepping into a new chapter on the team, to talk about the winding road into counseling and what it taught her. They get into the myth that creative people have to suffer, the way music and therapy speak to the same part of us, and why healing so rarely looks like just sitting and talking. It is a conversation about paying attention to what keeps calling you back, and about the many doors that lead toward getting well. 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
