That impacts not only mental health but also physical health, but there hasn\u2019t been a lot of conversation around it; culturally, we Black women are oriented to push through, to survive, to get things done, to care for our families, to show up at work, to present ourselves as having it all together. So I wanted to raise awareness, not only for society at large, but also to invite us as Black women to reflect on our needs; to prioritize self-care; to understand what depression, anxiety, and trauma look like, and then give some insights into how we can heal.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Many therapists have firm boundaries against talking about themselves. Why did you share your experiences, like family history and romantic relationships?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It was my own reckoning with being a strong Black woman and being able to be vulnerable. This is something I advocate as a therapist, and I wanted to model it. I know there are a lot of other Black women like me, who externally are accomplished and seem to have it all together, but behind closed doors are dealing with a lot of issues and are afraid to talk about them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>There\u2019s an opportunity for real, tangible, institutional shifts toward equity and justice.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>You describe a long-standing stigma in the Black community against mental healthcare, as well as mistrust of the medical system in general. Is that changing?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I do think a shift is happening. Popular figures\u2014like Michelle Obama, Meghan Markle, Serena Williams, and Beyonc\u00e9\u2014are talking about stress, depression, and postpartum depression, and that opens up the conversation for others. But mistrust of the mental health system is still real. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I\u2019ve heard people say, \u201cIs this information going to be used to lock me up, to make me lose my job, to take my children away?\u201d In a society where people regularly confront racism, sexism, and discrimination, they\u2019re afraid of the consequences of being vulnerable. That\u2019s a reason why it\u2019s critical to have more diverse representation in providers\u2014it\u2019s key to rebuilding that trust.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>As one of the relatively few Black women in clinical psychology, are you overwhelmed by demand for your services?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Absolutely, and it\u2019s the same for all my colleagues. It\u2019s heartbreaking when people seek help and providers don\u2019t have space. It further highlights the need for more services in under-resourced communities and for more diverse, culturally competent providers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What do you hope readers will take away from the book?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That they\u2019re not alone. So many people whom I\u2019ve worked with in therapy are experiencing intense suffering that they haven\u2019t felt safe to talk about. That silence and secrecy keeps them feeling like they\u2019re the only ones going through this. I want them to know that there\u2019s a community of people who not only share their experience, but can offer them support. I want people to recognize how stress and trauma have impacted them. And I hope the book will plant the seeds for people to think about new ways that they can take care of themselves and live joyous, fulfilling, healthy, lives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Your book has come out in the midst of a racial reckoning in this country. How do you feel about the fact that it\u2019s been published at this moment?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The conversations that are prevalent now\u2014about how racism impacts the lives of Black people\u2014have been at the forefront of my mind for a long time. Clinically, I see even more trauma now, particularly racial trauma. Intense discussions in the workplace, the violence that\u2019s shown in the media\u2014they\u2019re exacerbating the trauma that so many Black people have experienced. A lot of people are feeling even more overwhelmed and triggered\u2014and angry, because this is something we\u2019ve been dealing with every day. That said, there\u2019s some hopefulness. There\u2019s an opportunity for real, tangible, institutional shifts toward equity and justice. I hope this moment is sustained.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-normal-font-size\">Published October 5, 2021<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\" \/>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Clinical psychologist warns of the costs of addressing the needs of others to the exclusion of one&#8217;s own mental and physical health.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":68,"featured_media":2011,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"alumni_hub_syml_posts":[],"footnotes":""},"categories":[229],"tags":[],"cornell_year_post":[],"post_folder":[],"class_list":["post-841","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-alumni"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 -
