Shift Happens...Cultivating Calm Amidst Great Change
Hi! We are Cori Gracheck and Jenna Cotton, two psychotherapists in practice in Philadelphia, PA. who are privileged to work with wonderful people in our practice. We noticed trends in the issues that come up in sessions and thought that others might also benefit from hearing about the tools we use with our clients to manage these issues. So we decided to do a YouTube show/Podcast. The first series is focused on managing life in the pandemic, cultivating the tools for calm amidst great change. Each episode begins with a short meditation, then we cover a psycho-social topic (such as managing space, emotions, media during the pandemic, how to be in service to the Black community and people of color) and then end with the same meditation. The meditation is short and can also double as a mindfulness break tool to be used throughout your day and is appropriate for beginner through advanced meditators. We both practice and teach meditation and it is one of the central tools that we use with our clients.

We very rarely devote time to cultivating Joy. In this episode we discuss various ways to notice the Joy that already exists in your life, how to expand upon that Joy and how to cultivate new ways to experience Joy. In these turbulent times this is essential to having the best quality of life possible.
