A young person took their own life. That’s a problem for me. People are suffering in silence, and as a person of faith, I must say the enemy thrives on isolating those who are suffering from those who can provide options. Let’s normalize going to therapy because everything “ain’t” a demon! MUCH of it is trauma and unfinished business.

Shared from Aniya Pettaway:

Some of y’all hear “therapy” & immediately think something is wrong with you.

That right there is the problem.

Therapy is not just for people with diagnosed mental health disorders. It’s for people who want to understand their patterns, regulate their emotions, improve their relationships, & stop repeating the same cycles over & over again.

From a clinical standpoint, mental health exists on a spectrum. You don’t need a diagnosis to benefit from support. Research consistently shows that psychotherapy helps with emotional regulation, stress management, behavior change, & overall functioning, even in people without a formal disorder (American Psychological Association, 2012; Wampold & Imel, 2015).

So when y’all say “just go to therapy” like it’s an insult… you’re actually proving the point.

Because a lot of the conversations happening in here, how people respond to food, stress, control, other people’s opinions, even how y’all communicate, those are behavioral patterns, and behavioral patterns don’t just magically change because you decided to drink tea & cut out sugar.

That’s not me being shady. That’s me being real.

Holistic health includes the mind. If you’re doing all this work on your body but refusing to look at your thoughts, triggers, coping styles, & emotional patterns… you’re not doing holistic work. You’re doing selective healing.

Everybody doesn’t need therapy forever. But a lot more people could benefit from it than y’all like to admit.

Be honest with yourselves.
