In this episode, we bring in Telebehavioral Health.US therapist Dan Cooke, LMSW, CAADC, ADS and influencer Jaiden Clark to collaborate on the educational conversation of gender identification terms. And that's just where the conversation starts.

At the heart of the conversation, we talk about how deeply words matter when talking identity. We learn about the difference between identity and sexuality, the history of how these words and terms have evolved through time, and the four distinct ways that challenge people when they are non-binary and on the spectrum of identity and sexuality.

In this episode, we bring in therapist Ieeia Currie, LMSW, LISW  to discuss why so many more women are in therapy than men. We take a look at statistics upon this matter, and we dive deeper into women’s mental health. We also talk about stigma and the barriers that both men and women face when thinking about seeking help. And Ieeia also touches on the pressures of working towards balance of work, motherhood, and the stress she carries as a black woman raising children in today's world.

Finally, Ieeia shares some tips on how to find that balance in your own life when faced with the pressures of Covid, family, work, and your own stigma and guilt for even wanting balance.

I'd also like to give a shout out to our intern and same therapy podcast producer Abby for the great work she's doing for our team. Thank you for the substantial contribution you're making to our clinicians and getting this important content out to those who need to hear it.

We talk about the need for a resource where people of color can go for behavioral healthcare help, the opportunities that exist for each of us to help our peers when we see them struggling, and some candid advice for those with privilege on how they can help not just move the dial for equity among people of color but help those within arms length.

Telebehavioral Health.US is excited for the partnership with Melanin Matters and we look forward to furthering this conversation with Candice.

In this episode, we introduce Abby, our producer as she hosts her first podcast episode, and we bring back Telebehavioral Health.US therapists Dan Cooke, LMSW, CAADC, ADS and Trisha Waun, LMSW to discuss what you can learn from yourself in therapy. 

When you’re learning about yourself, therapy provides those tools for discovery with a helping hand, but as we don’t often think about, it’s also helping the therapist learn more as well.

If you've never sought or used therapy before, this is a great episode to help you set your expectations on what the experience should be like.
