Like many of you, I’ve spent the past couple of weeks glued to the tv watching the Paris Olympics and in constant awe of the talent and athleticism of the athletes.

And as often happens, feats of Black women being excellent are often met with racism and sexism. A few years ago, right after the Tokyo

While therapists are often revered for our contributions to the mental wellness of others, our culture can also be guilty of denying them us humanity with assumptions that we’re always willing to provide therapeutic advice at the drop of a dime or that we don’t feel things too. Today, I brought the group chat back together to discuss how therapists are showing up in our everyday lives.
