In this episode, we talk with Jessica Bullock, Licensed Professional Counselor and Coach, about one of our favorite topics- reducing the stigma that makes it challenging for Black folks to seek mental health treatment. There's a misconception that faith and therapy cannot co-exist, and this prevents many folks in our community from seeking the support they need at times when it may be the best thing for them. We hope that after listening to this episode, folks will have a different understanding of the ways faith and therapy can work together to help folks get through challenging times.

Have you noticed that for some folks in the Black community, when we hear words such as “holistic”, reiki, yoga, meditation, red flags go up and folks turn the other way?

This episode is a good reminder that therapy and healing from trauma is not just about sitting in a chair and talking to a therapist for 45 mins.
