Therapy for Black Girls 💇🏿‍♀️👩🏾 👩🏽 👩🏿‍���� 👧🏾

It's Minority Mental Health Month. Did you know? Well, if not, you do now. You can thank us later, as we've got something special, and a little date for your diaries. That date being today, July 26, as it happens.

It's good to talk, let's face it. Life is tough, to say the least, and someone to talk to can sometimes make all the difference to your mental health; particularly when that person knows just what it is you are talking about. Life can be difficult, we all live with trauma, and your mind can inflict noise and distress each day. Fortunately, however, there is sisterhood and fortunately, there is community. So on that basis, we thought we would celebrate with, well, a talk. A talk more specifically on the transformative power of sisterhood and community, and an exploration of the ways Black women connect and grow together.

Join award-winning psychologist, Dr. Joy Harden Bradford, and Dr. Lakeysha (Key) Hallmon for a conversation on the transformative power of sisterhood and its importance in community healing, in celebration of Minority Mental Health Awareness Month. Make sure don't miss it by securing your place here. There is quite literally nothing to lose, after all, as this is a free event, live streamed right here on Tumblr. That's still not all; we thought we'd celebrate with a few community postings on the evergreen, ever-essential subject of #therapy.

See you at 7pm sharp, folks x

As much as I wanna get into DnD, turns out it triggers the C-PTSD quite a bit..and I don't think I can continue. The shame attacks are :/ Am telling myself I fucken deserve the next three weeks' Japan-US trip given how much pain I have to put up with during a single shame attack: because many past mistakes and visions of the people who took advantage or wanted to actively hurt me also flood in along with the day's new mistakes. I hate how there'll be many more such shame attacks for the rest of my life. I also *love* remembering how I needed 9 years of therapy because of the people in my life who refused and still refuse to attend therapy, and that manner of betrayal really fucks me up. Yeeeesh, and I hate remembering how as the eldest kid, I bore the brunt while my two siblings were spared from having C-PTSD

10 Things To Remember if You're Chronically Overwhelmed

Feeling chronically overwhelmed may be a trauma response. Trauma activates the flight or fight response in our bodies. This activation engages the sympathetic nervous system. Sympathetic nervous system activation releases stress hormones like cortisol and epinephrine. In the presence of danger, these hormones help us survive. When danger is not present, these hormones can cause you to feel overwhelmed and can lead to physical symptoms of stress to include increased heart rate, sweating and digestive issues. After experiencing trauma, it is possible that your sympathetic nervous system may be hyperactivated. This hyperactivation may culminate in chronically feeling stressed, on edge, hypervigilant, jumpy or on guard. It may be difficult to relax. The good news is that you can reset a hyperactivated nervous system through trauma healing.

"Minority stress" is not caused by WHO you are; it's caused by WHERE you are. Being Black, Brown, bisexual, trans, Jewish, Muslim is not stressful. Being any of these things in the context of a hostile external environment is stressful.
