Season 2 Episode 21 - Overcoming Trauma and Improving Mental Health by Therapy with Darryl Webster

 

In this podcast, Anna is with Darryl Webster, a 29-year veteran clinical social worker at high poverty schools in the District of Columbia. He’s a graduate of George Washington University and received the prestigious Patricia Roberts Harris Fellowship to Catholic University of America (CUA) where he earned his master’s degree in social work. He’s an award-winning social worker that includes: 2018 Social Worker of the Year. Md Chapter of NASW; 2006 National Father of the Year, All-Star Dad award; 2006 The Morris and Gwendolyn and Cafritz Foundation, Awards for Distinguished DC Government Employee; Washingtonian of the Year award. He has also appeared on The Oprah Winfrey Show and the CBS Early Show. He is married to his high school sweetheart and they have three children. 

 

Aside from these achievements, he’s also an author of a new book, “I Thought I Was Going Crazy: Overcoming Stress, Anxiety, and Depression” which is a poignant, inspirational, and instructive story. He shares an intimate reflection of his time growing up poor in a tough neighborhood. It’s a portrayal of a sensitive soul “an Orchid Child,” born into a chaotic world of social stressors. A true story of perseverance, grit, and inner strength. It’s a different lens about a boy who becomes a man, nurturer, and social worker who achieved against the odds. 

 

His book was inspired by his personal experiences to inspire and give strategies in maintaining mental health. It also includes stories about his battle with anxiety disorders and panic attacks.  

 

Together, let’s know more about the story of Darryl as a father, social worker, speaker, and author.

Quotes:

 

“So I say sometimes the universe has better plans for you than you have for yourself.”

 

“So the lessons I have in my book are teaching people how to control their thoughts. Our thoughts are the most powerful influence in the universe. Our thoughts cross our time and space, that our thoughts have the ability to wake us up and make us manifest our Dreams, while thoughts have the ability to send a spiraling down into the depths of depression.”

 

“ The essence of maintaining your mental health, and moving ahead, you have to work on yourself, you have to do some self-care things.”

 

“I just don't feel like I'm in my body. And that was that a disassociation that comes with when you're really stressed, your body tends to disassociate, you feel like you're not in your body.”

 

“Let's learn how to stay rational and realistic. More importantly, let's think in a positive way less and I can testify because the mind again, the thoughts of our mind, they become self-fulfilling prophecies.”

 

“As human beings, we want to feel safe. And if we don't feel safe, our bodies and our minds would do anything to try to protect us. And when we don't feel safe, that's when anxiety goes through the roof. Because that's it's not good to feel uncertain and to feel unsafe.”

 

“We all have a story to share, we all have a divine purpose in life. God or Universe or whatever Spirit or energy source that you lean on to draw on gives us all of the great powers and billions of strengths.”

 

“Freedom for me is living that purpose, finding out what that purpose is, and manifesting that dream.”
