Summary

In today’s guest expert episode I am interviewing my very first guest; the highly skilled therapist, Bonnie Huestis. We do a deep dive on addiction, self-worth, couples therapy and the importance of knowing who you are. 

This episode features:

  •  A theory to help you understand why addiction occurs
  • An examination of the importance of self-worth and why it impacts all areas of our lives including relationships 
  • An exercise called the “Obituary Exercise” to help you get clear on who you really are and what really matters in your life 
  • And an explanation as to why EVERY couple needs to go to couples therapy 

Bonnie Huestis is a LCSW master therapist with 30 years of experience in the field. She has helped thousands of people in her private practice where she specializes in treating families, individuals and adolescents. Bonnie specializes in addiction and gambling and has led gambling addiction support groups for many years. She is a wife, mother, animal lover, and an incredibly empathic human. Her greatest superpower is her ability to listen to others in a way that makes them feel heard and truly understood. It is an honor to have her as the first guest on the Let’s Get Vulnerable Podcast. 

While Bonnie is “too cool” for social media, Dr. Morgan will be happy to relay any questions or comments you have for her. Simply tag Dr. Morgan @drmorgancoaching on Instagram and be sure to mention your favorite parts of the episode. 

If you haven’t already, please take the time to leave the podcast a 5-star Apple podcast review, as this is the best way for this show to grow and allow others to have access to this valuable information. 

Until next time, wishing you high self-worth, and GREAT relationships! Thanks for tuning in!
