Have you ever thought about going to therapy, but only heard horror stories from other people that went?  If so, this episode is for you.  This episode is being dual released in conjunction w/ ShaVanna Spratt, host of Da Hood Talks Podcast.  Last year she reached out to me about partnering with her in her new series called “Da Hood Heals” where she brings different experts on to talk about therapy and the importance of mental health particularly in communities of color.  We agreed that while people often talk about going to therapy and seeking mental health treatment, we don’t tell you HOW to do it.  So we decided to start with the basics.  I’m going to break the episode down into two different episodes, but if you want to watch the full video, you can find it on her Youtube page here: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCNBgw_oB6UB1O6E2Mq6b6Ag.  In this episode we discuss stigmas associated with therapy, debunk some myths and explain the different types of counselors.   Next week we will talk about identifying emotions.   Have you ever been to therapy?  Did you find it helpful or did you have your own horror story?  We’d love to hear from you.

What exactly is an Enneagram, you ask?  I had the same question so I looked it up and found out that it’s a personality typification system, similar to other popular tests you may have heard of, but much more detailed.  This week I talk with certified Enneagram Coach, Misty Escobar, and have her explain exactly what an Enneagram is and how it can be used to help you with your personal transformation and growth. I identified as a “4”....The Individualist.  Do you know your Enneagram number?  Do you believe this test can correctly identify your true personality?  You can take the free assessment below then leave a comment and let me know!  You can also leave a voicemail at [email protected] to share your thoughts.  I would love to hear from you!
