Trigger Warning: This episode contains sensitive topics such as mental illness and suicidal ideation. This week the UNconventional Christian Podcast is joined by Dr. Lakeisha Gatling, a licensed therapist, and clinical social worker. She chimes in with her professional and personal angle on dealing with the cultural myths and stigmas of mental health and wellness, soothing ourselves through the bouts with non-traditional methods, and seeking the right help when it is time to embark on the journey for healing.
