In this podcast, I welcome Kerri Lambert, a licensed social worker, yoga teacher, and mental health therapist who is bridging the gap between Eastern and Western methods in mental health. They discuss their shared connections, the transformative power of a 200-hour yoga teacher training, and the depth in yogic philosophy beyond simply physical postures. Kerri shares her journey from a chaotic upbringing to becoming a supportive, specialized therapist, highlighting pivotal moments along the path, including her discovery of yoga. Joe and Kerri also delve into the overlap between Eastern and Western approaches to healing, the shift towards holistic mental health therapies, and the critical role of mindfulness in overall wellness. While discussing the rapidly changing field of mental health, they emphasize the need for slowing down and intentional self-care in a fast-paced world.
Kerri Lambert is a licensed clinical social worker, trained in several therapeutic modalities in the clinical world. She has worked as a mental health therapist for 12 years, working with children, adults, groups and families. Kerri is also a 200 hour trained yoga teacher who finds that the yoga world overlaps her therapeutic world in many ways. Kerri serves as an adjunct instructor for the Masters of Social Work program at Salisbury University, helping students train to become the next generation of helpers.
