Mari Dickerson is an integrative coach and psychotherapist specializing in women’s health, trauma, and spirituality. She holds a master’s degree in clinical social work from NYU and has worked in the mental health and healing field for over ten years. As a multi-passionate healer, Mari has training in yoga, meditation, reiki, psychoanalysis, addiction treatment, EMDR and women’s health and hormones. In her work with women, Mari integrates the basics of menstrual health and body literacy with trauma work and supportive coaching to help female clients reduce symptoms, get in touch with their intuition, and find their feminine power.
In this episode, we talk about how Mari first made the connection between hormones and psychology, why she takes a very different approach from traditional mental health therapy, the history of hysteria and its connection to patriarchal oppression, bridging the gap between the mental health and health coaching fields, and so much more!
This episode is brought to you by Knix, makers of comfortable, period-proof underwear.
I’ve been using period underwear since 2014, long before it was popular, so I know a thing or two about what to look for in a great pair of period undies. I recently started using Knix period underwear, and I’m actually in love. When wearing these undies, you can be fully confident that you won’t have any leaks, even when sitting or lying down for a long time.
Their cotton, leakproof underwear is soft, stretchy, and feels like regular underwear. They come in a range of absorbencies and can absorb up to eight tampons worth of liquid, so they’re great for every day of your period. Not only are they super absorbent, but they also stay dry. Plus, they’re so easy to wash you can just pop them into the washing machine with a mild detergent and tumble dry them on low.
If you’re ready for comfortable, leakproof period underwear, head to Knix.com!
