I always LOVE when I get to interview friends on mine on the podcast, especially when those friends happen to be brilliant healers in their own right. My friend Whitney (aka Dr. Dicterow) is such an incredible woman, therapist, mother, friend, and so much more.  As you'll see in this episode, we have LOTS to talk about, including body image, somatic healing, working through past trauma, connecting more deeply to yourself, and how music and movement play such a big role in our healing process.  Tune in to hear the rest! And make sure you are on my email list (www.megansherer.com) so you can be the first to know when Whitney and I finally announce our retreat!!    Dr. Whitney Dicterow is a licensed clinical psychologist specialized in evidence-based treatments including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Mindful Self-Compassion (MSC), and Internal Family Systems (IFS) for patients diagnosed with a variety of mood, anxiety, and adjustment disorders. Her clinical specialties include working with women struggling with the transition into motherhood, development of self-compassion and mindfulness, life transitions/stressors, low self-esteem, body image issues, perfectionism, and emotion regulation difficulties.
