#101 - "Just Pray About It" ft/ Briana Lewis
On this episode of the Corporate Coke & Smack podcast, we talked about a subject that is getting more attention than it has ever had due to the current state of society. Civilians are under more stress than ever in regards to daily life and the stress that so many people experience is going untreated. We had the honor of being joined by Briana Lewis who is the owner of Inspired Living Counseling & Consulting, a mental health agency based out of Florida. She is a Licensed Mental Health Therapist with specialization in depression, anxiety, and complex trauma.
The reason for this show is because mental health is somewhat of a taboo in many black communities. To many people are coping with mental issues through drugs, alcohol, and sex. The proper way to address any issue is through therapy. During this episode, Briana touched on how this passion of hers is bringing change to the stigma of therapy. A talking point that stuck out was the difference in accessibility of mental health counseling on HBCU campuses versus PWI institutions. She is a graduate of Florida A&M University and University of Central Florida. The disparity she saw in the transparency of the subject on the two campuses was a call to action.
We also touched on how the church has led people to just "pray about it" versus taking steps to properly address mental illnesses. Faith requires actions beyond a prayer. It is normal for humans to express positive and negative emotions. How you deal with them is what makes a lasting impact on the individual. If you are experiencing abnormal thoughts, we encourage you to reach out to Briana or any local therapist. Be sure to check with your employer about a Employee Assistance Program (EAP) to check your eligibility for covering the cost of these appointments.
Corporate Coke & Smack felt this episode was necessary because too often this subject is swept under the rug or a family member is calling you "crazy". It is time to properly diagnose any abnormalities and get back to living your best life!
