58. Compassionate Conversations with Monica DiCristina, LPC When We Speak

In this week’s conversation I am back with one of my closest friends, Monica DiCristina, LPC as we share personal stories in the form of heart talk.  In this episode, Tasha and Monica combine their years of training and therapeutic practice to address this all too often oversimplified question: What does it really mean to love yourself? It is  our way of answering the questions stemming from one of the most foundational parts of mental health – loving and accepting yourself. I also briefly discuss Internal Family Systems and what it means to connect with Self during the healing process. Monica DiCristina is a therapist with over fifteen years of experience in mental health. She runs a private practice in Atlanta, GA serving individuals and couples in therapy. Monica walks with people as they process difficult experiences, helping to bring healing to their relationship with themselves and others. She became a therapist after one changed her life in her early twenties, deciding she wanted to pass along the same hope and healing she experienced. The intersection of her years of therapy experience, her personal journey, and her faith inform her perspective. In addition to her work in the therapy office, Monica carries out her heartfelt mission to collaborate with others in their process of healing, hope, and becoming through her Still Becoming podcast, writing, speaking, and as co-creator of the here app. Monica lives in Atlanta with her husband and three children, as well as their dog Sweetie.
