About
Want to lead a full and meaningful life? A life that is rich, purposeful and filled with intention, awareness and perspective? Often, we are not taught these skills, and many of us simply "get by" using what works- whether it is helpful or not. Counsellor and art therapist, Janine Ray, will lead you through a "life-hack" discussion to gain these life-enhancing skills. Topics include healthy communication, how to express emotion, how to respond (rather than react) to difficult situations and more topics that many counsellors want to share with the community. This podcast is recorded in Vancouver, BC, Canada, and members of the public can watch live via Zoom to interact with Janine! Videos of the Zoom recording are published on YouTube.
