Yoga + Talk Therapy = Transformative Mental Health

Kindred Conversations with Aubrey Baptista

Transform your approach to mental wellness as Chris McDonald of Path to Hope Counseling reveals the profound impact of intertwining yoga and mindfulness with conventional counseling methods. Brace yourself for an enlightening episode where Chris, drawing from his wealth of knowledge in school counseling and holistic therapies, unpacks the art of nurturing the entire being to foster profound healing. We venture beyond the surface-level conversations, tapping into the dynamic duo of talk therapy and physical practices like Qigong and somatics that Chris leverages to assist clients in overcoming deep-seated barriers, particularly those formidable "CBT walls" erected by childhood trauma.
Dive headfirst into the synergy of mental health and physical activity, where we dissect how movement can be the antidote to the overthinking and rumination that plague so many, especially those with ADHD. Chris champions the potency of gentle confrontation in therapy and the transformative power of prescribing actionable "homework," ensuring that practices such as yoga and walking become more than fleeting encounters. The episode culminates by emphasizing the neurobiological necessity for community and how group exercises can provide the missing link to calmness and connection. For anyone seeking to explore yoga classes tailored for trauma-informed care, look no further—Chris's expertise and the Holistic Counseling Podcast stand ready as your guides, with additional resources detailed in our show notes.
