Many of us minorities often label therapy as "White People Shit". We ignore the benefits of it, we allow ourselves to struggle mentally as well as emotionally through our lives. We remain in the slave mind, we refuse to break the cycle and understand what is truly going on within our minds and bodies. We do not allow ourselves to obtain the knowledge of mental as well as physical health. We refuse to acknowledge that learning how to meditate is essential to maintaining balance and mental stability. We are not allowing ourselves to be educated on how to partner our faith with spirituality and really learn to tap into ourselves like never before. Learning how to set goals, use critical thinking as well as getting more organized could greatly benefit the African-American community. Think about where you may be as a person if you were raised to be financially responsible? If you were raised to set goals and think your life through versus just floating off into space dealing with what comes? Imagine a life where you had support of positive people and energies that helped to elevate you into different levels of enlightenment instead of the constant digression of our people? Therapy is one of the hidden keys used to unlock places in the brain your average person does not tap into on the regular basis. Therapy helps us learn to properly communicate, you learn how to hold yourself accountable for the things that you do as well as do not do. Therapy helps people to address past trauma that may have lead a person to their current manifestation. Therapy helps us to understand that everyday is an opportunity to change our life if we are willing to grow from who we were yesterday. Most people's biggest enemy is procrastination partnered with complacence. People get comfortable with who they have become and forget who they were trying to be. Some of us have no ambition at all, some of us have already accepted the bad in life and figure we might as well take it for what it is. It is sad how many of us suffer from emotional issues, mental issues such as bi-polar or anxiety issues. Many of us are injected with all kinds of issues from our past, our history, our culture and our families that we have held on to extreme mental health issues as apart of life when really it is the very thing killing our communities. What We Are OfferingHere at Ghetto Gospels I am offering an opportunity for everyone to try Therapy for free!! I Am currently working with two therapist that are willing to offer free 35 minute sessions to anyone whom takes the FREE MENTAL HEALTH ASSESSMENT. This is a 60 question basic mental health overview that will be used to Gage your level of mental health. HOW DO I GET MY FREE SESSION Once you finish the 60 question assessment you will be transferred to a results page. The results pages is what we require. If you have taken the exam on your PC you would use a snipping tool to cut the results from each section and save them, if you are using your phone screen shots of each page will work. You will then e-mail the results over to one of our therapist Benji over at [email protected]. He will go over your results and let you know who you will have your free session with and let you select a date and time from a short list of times. The GOAL The point of #MinoritiesInTherapy is to promote therapy and to get people to actually sign up for therapy. The doctors that we are working with are not seeking any money from any of you rather wanting to give you the basics of therapy to encourage you to look at your own options. A lot of you do not realize that your insurance may cover the cost of you to get well mentally, even if you are on state insurance programs like Husky.
Our doctors want to chat one on one with you and show you your resources and your options based on what your results say about you. They will engage with in in a few basic email's and a one on one 35 minute chat session that will show you how therapy normally is. We want to empower people of color to find the wholeness and benefits of therapy. We would like to open up the discussion in our groups and hang outs so that the stigma deflates in our community. We are hoping that more people seek therapy or at the bare minimum take advantage of the free session.
