Disconnection

In my work with BIPOC folx, there is usually a theme: Disconnection from home, self, culture. But where does this disconnection come from? Mental health issues can be caused by a combination of biology & environmental factors and they can also be the byproduct of living in a world that was not designed for you.

Clients enter therapy feeling exhausted, shamed, helpless, and overwhelmed with ideas of what should or shouldn't be, but where did those ideas grow from? Therapy can help you recognize the effects of historical and intergenerational trauma on your life. When we understand the origins of our fears and perceptions, we can begin to release shame and solidify a better sense of self.
