Good read!!

We work hard to help our clients disrupt unhealthy behaviors that normalize overworking and overfunctioning. This has to stop, Black women need rest, and it isn’t something we have to earn.

Drop a comment and let me know what you think about the article.

Self-care is more vital than ever, yet true relaxation remains elusive for the community.

Is anyone else trying to have a soft black girl summer?!

As Anxious Black Girls, being delicate and extending grace towards self is necessary and helps calm our nervous system.

This article is a good read. Let me know if you need any Soft Black Girl tips for this summer in the comments.

I’m unashamed to admit: a Soft Black Girl Summer is something I crave. Knowingly or not, this trend signifies an antithesis to the many stereotypical perceptions that define Black women. Here, I defend soft Black girls and why the aesthetic is a radical act of self-care.

Do You Know Your Attachment Style?

How you learn to connect in relationships is deeply rooted in your attachment style. It's how you learn to cultivate relationships and maintain them. Your attachment style is influenced by the way you experienced the early and most significant relationships in your life, and the behaviors of your primary caregivers contributed to and helped form the way you experience close relationships and how you get your needs met within those spaces.

In this video, you’ll learn about the four attachment styles, how to self-regulate within your relationships, and how to become more securely attached.

The holidays aren't always filled with laughs and warm feelings. Sometimes it's hard and we struggle with engaging with our family, friends, and partners. This holiday season, you don't have to do this alone. You have help!
​
I am officially opening the doors to my Heal through the holiday Support group! Each week we'll come together as a community of support where we will talk about our struggles, learn how to develop our skills with communication, boundary setting, dealing with family, or loneliness, loss, and much more!
​
This is a healing space and dedicated to getting you through the season and into the New Year as the best version of you! Our first session starts on November 15, 2021 @ 7pm EST.

Support groups are amazing for people who may need that extra support but aren't quite able to start therapy or be consistent with it. It can also:

Bring together people who are going through or have gone through similar experiences. Provides an opportunity for people to share personal experiences and feelings, coping strategies, or firsthand information. Reduces distress, depression, and anxiety. Helps you realize you are not alone. Helps you openly and honestly speak about your feelings. Increase self-understanding
and is a more affordable option to meet your mental health needs
