Them: What kind of therapist are you?
Me: Mental Health
Them: Oh wow what’s your specialty!?!
Me: Helping Black women learn healthier ways to cope and navigate life in a society that doesn’t protect or value them.
My clients love me because I understand their journey and I get how hard it is! They think we are friends but they understand the boundaries in the therapeutic relationship. I LOVE too see them shine 🥰 I really be routing for them
Being in a space where you can be around others and regulate your own emotions and not personalize the emotions/actions of others that is the ultimate sign of finding safety within yourself.
