Hello 👋🏾 follow me for my conversations and little tidsbits I’ll be giving you about psychology and mental health

Mental health is about more than just managing a crisis, it’s about helping people live meaningful lives for themselves that lines up with what’s most important to them. Mental health is about maintaining your mental well being.

On here I’ll also be sharing some mental health based thoughts with an intersectional framework. Using my own identity as a black queer trans woman psychologist.

The mind and body are one in the same. Taking care of our bodies also helps our mind feel better and function better. Just a 15 min walk a day is enough. If you want to do more, have at it but don’t feel you must to get mood benefits. Move every day just a little

Getting better at knowing how you feel emotionally sometimes takes time and practice. Sitting with yourself away from distractions and checking in on how you feel (or absence) helps. It can be a skill you get better, faster, and more detailed with practice. Worth it

Understanding your gender can take time, give yourself space to figure out what works best for you, and give yourself grace to be ungraceful as you figure it out. This is especially true for trans folk across the age range. Be kind to yourself
