In this episode, you will hear a very meaningful conversation that I had with Taylor Clarke, one of my classmates at Houston Christian University. We were in the graduate program together to become clinical mental health counselors, and I could tell that she had a story to tell. I also had a curiosity to learn more about her experience with DBT and addiction recovery. What you will hear is a very candid and heartfelt testimony of her struggles, but also a passion for helping others. She found that a large part of her personal transformation was spurred on by the deeply meaningful connections to her loved ones and her spirituality.
