The Power of Connection: Healing Anxiety and Despair with Dr. Chinwé Williams
In this episode, I explore the critical role of connection in mental health with Dr. Chinwé Williams - licensed counselor, trauma therapist, and co-author of Beyond the Spiral and Seen. We discuss how anxiety and despair impact the brain, why true healing requires relationships, and how we can foster deeper, more meaningful support systems in our lives.
We discuss:
- Why feeling seen is essential for emotional well-being.
- How connection rewires the brain and reduces anxiety.
- How to help others feel truly heard - without trying to ”fix” them.
Challenge: Dr. Chinwé introduces three powerful words, ”tell me more,” as a tool for deeper connection. This week, practice using this phrase in conversations and notice how it changes the way people open up to you.
