In today's episode, we are blessed to have Susan Brown back with us, this time, to deep dive into ways of creating community, its benefits, how it supports our well-being and healing. Susan is a Mental Health Counselor and Brain Injury Specialist; she owns Boulder Semita Counseling, a private practice where she helps communities through a person-centered, humanistic, transpersonal lens.
Throughout our conversation, you'll hear discussion on the loss of community in modern society, and how cultivating and caring for community can benefit the well-being of us all. Community is multifaceted and extremely nuanced, and is a core element of our health; as such we also examine the pros and cons of technology and community, the fear of rejection, isolation, support systems, and the value of friendship.
