Psychotherapist note: Sweeping problems "under the rug" like abuse, mental health disorders, religious trauma or relationships challenges, i.e. (IPV) does more harm than good.
In many cases, we'd rather be disingenuous vs having honest and transparent conflict.
Psychotherapist note:
Mental health conversations shouldn't be seen as "taboo."
People die in silence everyday due to this judgement and then people finally say, "I wish they spoke up."
We live in a society that stigmatizes mental health but mourns suicide.
Hypocritical.
Psychotherapist note: This society got a lot of people indoctrinated believing that something outside of ourselves is responsible for our salvation.
Mane, we got to work on inner alignment.
Psychotherapist note: I was a bit confused to see large gatherings of people at the cemetery yesterday.
Some of the same people who've said, "honoring the ancestors is a demonic ritual," were the same people putting balloons and flowers on graves.
Psychotherapist note: Our egos protect our self-image and self-esteem, and admitting faults can feel like an attack on our identity. This psychological barrier is a major reason why people avoid holding themselves accountable.
Psychotherapist note: Sometimes all it takes is lighting a candle, burning incense and tapping that stick on the ground.
They hear the rhythm of our heartbeat.
Ahhh. Welcome, I'm happy y'all have arrived.
Psychotherapist note: Today we pay it forward by breaking the chains of grief, fear and religious trauma.
Our ancestors labored for our freedom, so we're saying their names, pouring libations and writing our own freedom papers.

Psychotherapist note: There is no nobility in suffering.
Unfortunately, for many of us, we' e learned to wallow in our own blood of misery and dysfunction and use suffering as an excuse to remain a victim.

Psychotherapist note: Unhealed people don't listen with their ears, they listen with their triggers.
We can be clear as day, but they're hearing a different language.
