Welcome to The Adult Chair
Michelle Chalfant has been a seeker her whole life. Through her journey of discovery and decades of work as a therapist, she has developed an approach to understanding the struggles we all experience as we move through the world each day. In The Adult Chair, we’ll be using Michelle’s holistic approach to healing and transformation as a foundation for better understanding our relationship with ourselves. Along the way, we’ll host an ongoing conversation around stress, anxiety, depression, physical health, self-love, peace, emotional balance, and how our understanding of ourselves impacts the most important relationships in our lives.
“My friend shared your podcast with me last week. Thank you for breaking down our complex thoughts/emotions in a way that is much easier to grasp! I absolutely love the chair analogy. It has helped me so much!”
