In this episode, Catherine sits down with Teda Kokoneshi, a licensed mental health counselor and self-published memoirist, to trace her winding path from immigrating to the United States at 18 through a green card lottery, to studying continental philosophy in Boston, chasing a publishing career in New York City, and ultimately finding her calling in clinical mental health counseling. Teda opens up about the disorientation of adapting to a radically different culture, the burnout that brought her back to Florida, and how discovering Carl Jung's analytical psychology became a turning point in understanding her own mind. She walks through how she uses active imagination, dreamwork, and art therapy with clients, and shares why she believes true social justice work has to be rooted in personal healing. Teda also talks about her memoir, Living to Tell the Story: A Memoir and a Map of Reconstruction After the Dark Night of the Soul, and the writing projects — poetry, short stories, essays — she has percolating next.
