Can’t even say I’m disappointed when I see these bad takes because none of the people I follow have them.

If you or someone you love is struggling, here are options:

If someone is in immediate danger or has a plan and intent, call 988 in the United States or emergency services. Ask directly when calling 988:
“Is there a non-law enforcement response available?” ALSO don’t forget

Additional options to attempt to get immediate assistance:

• Searching “mobile crisis team near me” + your county name
• Searching “behavioral health urgent care near me”
• Searching “peer respite center near me”
• Searching “warm line mental health support”

Culturally specific resources:

• BlackLine – 1-800-604-5841 (or text 988 and ask for culturally specific support)
• Therapy for Black Girls directory
• Therapy for Black Men directory
• The Trevor Project (for LGBTQ+ youth)
• Trans Lifeline
• StrongHearts Native Helpline (for Native communities)

Save this. Share this. Know your options.

Such a fan of the work Prentis Hemphill and Tarana Burke are doing and this episode of Becoming The People Pod. Shame is a psychological control mechanism.

Obedience-based and fear-based parenting are conditioning systems built on hierarchy, not connection.

When children are raised to comply without question, they learn:
• To ignore their discomfort
• To silence their intuition
• To prioritize power over safety

Your ability to control your child doesn’t measure the quality of your parenting but it can definitely be a measurement of their level of fear. Respect builds relationships. Obedience builds resentment and fear. Comment ‘respectful parenting’ to receive access to my mental health guide and if you’re already a member of my site, just scroll to the bottom of the mental health guides section 🤗

Notice how quickly we defend hitting children by listing their mistakes.

Running into the street. Talking back. Not listening.

But every reaction has an emotion underneath it.

Healthy and fully functioning adults stem from protected and cared for children and these children develop in households with adults with health emotional regulation.

This reminder doesn’t work every time, but it works eight out of 10 times and if you follow me, you know what happens the other two out of 10 times

I am incredibly excited about teaching these upcoming courses on liberation psychology, Black identity, development, ethical, notetaking, and becoming an anti-racist and anti-oppressive clinician. They are all virtual, and if you’re interested in learning more about the courses, comment “courses“ to be sent information.

🗣️The original post is from MAY 2025. He’s consistent. I know a lot of people mention this whole thing about people shucking and jiving for certain gazes. But I need you to understand that some people simply don’t have the intellect or empathy. It’s not always about performing. Some people are simply butt heads.
