In this episode, I speak with Dr. Akua Boateng, Licensed Psychotherapist and Mental Health Consultant. Dr. Boateng was gracious enough to provide answers to some of the real-life questions that I had for her, and I believe the valuable information she shares is worth noting down.

Dr. Boateng is a captivating thought leader and psychological consultant. Her work extends beyond mental health treatment and integrates aspects of career and psychological consultation, which she has done for colleges, artists, young professionals, and non-profit organizations. Through speaking, consulting (organizational re-envisioning, leadership training, workshops, etc) and content writing for various organizations, she lends her psychological knowledge on topics such as emotional growth, professional development, resilience, effective leadership, relationships and spiritual enrichment.

In a nutshell, we speak about:

Extending self-love to yourself in times of feeling depressed and feeling sad. 
How to bounce back (even after lying to your therapist).
Coping mechanisms to get over the loss of someone that's still alive.
Coping skills one can use after witnessing a relative have a near-death experience.
How to navigate mental health problems.
How to support your child if they are going through a gender identity issue.
... and so much more!

Don't Ask Me Ask A Therapist

Happy Thanksgiving!!! Sometimes holidays aren’t always fun, loving, and as peaceful as we would like them to be. Today I share a little bit of how I have had the holiday blues, I found myself becoming complacent with emotional suffering and resisting gratitude. I am now finding peace during the holidays and using gratitude to help me find that peace. 

In a nutshell, I speak about:

Resistance is the key to suffering  
Suffering is not our birthright 
The effects negative thoughts have on the physical body 
The Keys to surrendering to gratitude 
... and so much more!
