For decades, therapy was treated like a secret, a weakness, or something “Black folks don’t do.” But why?
In this powerful Monday open-discussion episode, we break down the real reasons therapy became taboo in Black families — and why our generation is finally rewriting the narrative.
We explore:
Historical trauma: how slavery, segregation, and systemic racism shaped our emotional survival strategies
The “strong Black man/strong Black woman” myth: where it came from and how it harmed us
Church vs. therapy: why spiritual communities became the only “approved” form of healing
Fear of judgment: the cultural pressure to “keep family business in the house”
How stigma formed — and how we can dismantle it today
This is an honest, uplifting, and eye-opening conversation designed not just to educate — but to heal. Whether you’ve been afraid to try therapy or you’re actively in your healing journey, this episode will challenge your thinking and empower you to break generational cycles.
A must-listen for anyone serious about mental health, growth, and breaking the silence in the Black community.
