  • Jennifer M.D. Cox (Ep 41)
    Apr 27 2025

    Today I’m chatting with Jennifer M.D. Cox, the author of 'Getting to Know You.' Jennifer has a background in creative writing, having minored in it at Alfred University back in 2016. It's fascinating how she now uses those skills as a mental health counselor. We'll be diving into her work with narrative therapy – essentially helping people reframe their personal stories – and how she uses targeted stories in trauma processing. We'll also be touching on the ever-present challenge of social media for authors and the real value of having a strong writing community in your corner.More about Jennifer: https://ninestarpress.com/product/getting-to-know-you/Podcast Homepage: https://brewingfictionpodcast.com
