Kindred Tree’ple Podcast Kindred Tree Healing Center

Licensed psychotherapists Vanessa Durrant and Anna See-Jachowski lend their expertise to a topic that has been requested often by listeners: understanding the Highly Sensitive Person, or, HSP. They’re breaking down what it means to be on the sensitivity spectrum, and how we come to understand it as a basic, fixed human trait. This episode discusses the magic and challenges of being, parenting, and/or supporting a an HSP or a highly sensitive child (HSC). 
Vanessa and Anna speak to what the research is saying about the importance of navigating adversity and supporting the positive life experiences of folks who are HSP/HSC. They then get to dig deep about how to cultivate the superpowers of HSPs, big and small, and the magic of these world-altering change-makers!

Host Vanessa Durrant, LCSW-C, follows up on our last episode about Change by diving deeper into the source of Chaos! She offers beautiful intuitive insights regarding working with the chaos of our life as the catalyst for deeper healing. 
Vanessa invites listeners to reflect on how chaos impacts us, and makes some important distinctions between the chaotic ebb and flow we all experience, versus chronic chaos. She offers deep, thought-provoking distinctions about how chronic chaos differs in the lives of those who walk through life without systemic privileges. 
Vanessa guides us through specific critical questions we should ask ourselves to detect the origins of chaos in our lives. She shares radically honest reflections as well as active embodiment practices for releasing control and establishing more trust and flow in our lives.

The paradox of change, and the process of healing are extremely similar. Join our Tree’ple Pod host, Vanessa Durrant, licensed therapist and clinical social worker, as she explores how these concepts work in tandem! Vanessa notes how, despite this being a great time of year to contemplate change and healing, society doesn’t necessarily support sustainability in these areas of growth. 
Vanessa provides expert guidance from her years as a therapist and healer as she guides listeners through the 5- stage Change Theory Model, and provides insights about how important accessibility and readiness is to our humanity, and thus our capacity for change. Vanessa shares a supportive perspective with listeners by asking questions to self-reflect on. She extends an invitation to tap into our intuition, or, the trust we extend to ourselves. 
Vanessa always has a way of deepening into these theoretical concepts by providing practical tips, food for thought, and the gentle normalization we need to apply these bigger concepts to our day to day lives- and episode 13 gives us Tree’ple just that!

Join us for a discussion on caregiver mental health and support this week on the Kindred Tree’ple Podcast! Host and licensed clinical social worker Vanessa Durrant will provide practical guidance for all caregivers on what areas of caregiver mental health need the most tending to. Her expertise as a therapist lends itself to providing listeners with four specific areas of caregiver mental health that need careful attention: quality of support, past trauma, pace of lifestyle, and access to resources. 
Vanessa illuminates the organic quality of community support caregivers have historically needed to fulfill those roles and thrive as they were always meant to! She ends this episode by sharing facts about how mindfulness practices work to heal the brain, even ones that have experienced trauma, and leads us in a meditation for witnessing life in a mindful way.
