Our next performer to join The Heal Out Loud Community is widowed mother of 5 Delleesa Harris who lost her husband through senseless gun violence. She’ll be sharing her healing journey through poetry. Poetry, writing, and journaling are expressive arts that help communicate feelings and emotions. It’s a great way to cope and heal. Come check her out as she’ll have copies of her book, her collection of candles, and hugs for everyone.

40 days away 😳!! Thank God I started the year off strong with planning because I’ve been out of it these past couple months; however, the show must go on. It’s free for vendors and still being accepted. Support is always needed 🥰 and donations graciously accepted. Even so, this event is free and purposed to increase mental health awareness and access to services while decreasing mental health stigma.

Humor can heal… or it can hide.Same laugh, different purpose.

Sometimes it helps us cope.Sometimes it helps us avoid.

As a defense mechanism, humor protects the ego—masking pain, avoiding discomfort, and keeping deeper emotions out of reach.

As a coping skill, humor helps us process—managing stress, reframing experiences, and creating space to heal.

The difference?➡️ Coping processes the pain➡️ Defense protects you from feeling it

Are you using humor to process your pain… or protect yourself from it?

🏈 Tonight’s scoreboard says it all…Coping wins when healing is the goal.

Society tells us to be perfect, happy, successful, strong, well-liked, smart, normal, attractive, and rich. In all that pressure, we forget to just be.
And sometimes simply existing is the most powerful freedom of them all. It’s a gift and a human right.

Anger is a secondary emotion.

Having an issue with one of these? Consider if there is unaddressed or suppressed trauma. Trauma grows and trauma spreads. Trauma looks for its next victim and has to be dug up by the root and put an end to its growth. Don’t pay for what someone else has done to you through their unhealed trauma and passed it on to you. You feel embarrassed, guilty, afraid, alone, and shame. You don’t deserve that and that heavy burden is not yours to carry. Trauma made you feel unworthy. Trauma made you feel unloved. Trauma lied! You are worthy, lovable, and created for greatness.
