Episode 125: Healing from Enmeshment with Astrid Schmidt

 

Today on the Everything Belongs Podcast, Madison is in conversation with Astrid Schmidt.

Astrid is a transformational guide and created a therapeutic healing system called Spiral Mapping Method, which is designed to build emotional mastery in your healing work, and to fall in love with life. She is a Certified Gestalt Therapist, trained at the Gestalt Center for Psychotherapy, and received her Master of Social Work from Columbia University. She has been a social worker for 20 years. Astrid’s mission is to end suffering in our mental health. Her love for my work is fueled by her reverence for life, this miracle we are graced with getting to experience. As a woman, a mother, and an artist, she is continually exploring the depths of this work. She sees herself reflected in every one of her clients. Her offering to others is her warmth, humor, mothering spirit, guidance & wisdom, hope & encouragement. She believes anything is possible.
