Therapy Has Always Been a Black Thing
“Healing starts when we stop viewing therapy as some foreign concept and start embracing it as part of our ancestral wisdom.”
Therapy is not new to us, it is a practice rooted in our traditions, though it has taken on new forms. When we see it through this lens, it becomes easier to accept and benefit from it.
