About this listen
In many areas, there are too few behavioral health professionals or therapist to provide cultural matching to all clients (people of color, specifically women and girls) who would benefit from it, so the ideal is that practitioners of all colors and cultures work toward the capacity to reach across color lines in culturally appropriate ways.
Black women are often pigeonholed as strong caregivers and providers who shoulder others’ burdens and do not share their own. They're expected to hold down the house, rear the children, work and school and lead in church services etc.
Burnout and stress are rampant among Black women, especially as many absorb traumatizing situation daily. Racism is traumatizing!
"It’s ok to be a strong black woman– I say - You don’t rid yourselves of the Strong Black Woman image, you throw out parts of it, but you use parts of it to move toward healing.” Let's vibe and heal together!
Anxiety can trigger depression and other behavioral physical and mental health issues. It is especially hard if you are dealing with other personal, work, relationship, or family-related issues. It is okay to ask for help.
