Minorities in Therapy is something that I have come up with to help promote therapy within the African American and Latin culture. In a lot of these communities we see things like: depression, acute stress, drug and alcohol abuse, obesity, cycles of bad parenting, trauma and many other mental sickness. The worst part about this fact is that most of us are raised "What goes on in this house stays in this house." We would get beatings and have bruises, or we were witnessing criminal activity all kinds of things. As children our first thought was to tell a baby-sitter, tell your school teacher hell some of us even told our other friends whom told their parents.
You would come home from school to an instant butt kicking, your parent striking you with the belt yelling and screaming at you about "Telling their business." Your a child, all you said was "My daddy doesn't live with us" or maybe you said "I did not have dinner last night" This simple thing is what created a stigma in our community where we "mind our own business" We are not talking to anybody about anything that goes on in our life. Therapy? Seriously? Why should I talk to somebody who does not know me? Why am I letting them into my life? What can this do for me? Minorities in Therapy is all about breaking the cycle. We want to promote healthy mental health. We promote spirituality and wholeness as we search for ourselves. Minorities in therapy is all about understanding it is something else out there and we were not given the tools. A lot of us do not know how too communicate, how to love or what we are trying to do with our lives. We are confused and simply existing when we should be living according to our goals and not our circumstances. A lot of us are carrying bags that are not meant for us and our mental sickness is crippling our ability to think clearly. We enter survival mode and start battling lions that were not sent to attack us; Our parents issues become ours. It is a cycle of horrible events that we can elevate above if we learned how to face what it really is that hurts us. Learning how to talk about your issues and the reasons why you do the things that you do is key. Learning how to process your troubles and unpack is essential to letting go of the baggage. Some of us argue with our parents everyday, some of us have strained relationships with our children. Some of us are spinning out of control and have no idea what we are doing with our lives. A few of us are stepping into a new season where they are trying to evolve. No matter what your situation is, talking about it helps. It comes a time in our lives where we decide that we want better for ourselves and then we activate. We say no more, we look at our life and understand it is more to it than what we have manifested. We find ourselves submitting to our faith, we give it all too the lord and say it is now or never. When you couple a legit effort to change with self discovery and faith you start to vibrate on higher levels. The key to minorities in therapy is to get our community to tap into this lifestyle of spirituality and elevation. It is like a hidden world full of great vibes and fresh fruit and water. Your body starts to reject negativity, you will get physically sick in the room of devils. The spirit inside of you will protect you and bind you from anything that is not for you. The best part of that, once you elevate to such levels your issues appear to be so small it is like you need a magnifying glass to see them. It is easier to deal with things when you are looking at them with a clear perspective rather your feelings or emotions. Soon Ghetto Gospels will be updated with some helpful information that can start a basic journey for those thinking of giving therapy a try. I hope to get as many of you getting mentally and spirituality well as possible.
