Ep. 61: Black Love w/ Bro Shack 02/20/2019

Ep. 61: Black Love w/ Bro Shack #Blacklove can be a complicated, and joyful topic. I’m excited to see it moving into the mainstream cultural conversation through shows like “Black Love” on Oprah’s OWN network. Still, I think the conversation needs to be expanded to include not only heterosexual romantic relationships, but also the ways that we love ourselves and each other on a daily basis. Today, Im talking with Bro Shack, one half of True Love Movement, to discuss what it means to love and be loved as a Black person. We do a deep-dive into the cultural history of blackness and the ways slavery has impacted our understanding of what it means to love others, but maybe more importantly, what it means to love ourselves. Bro Shack brings a deep love for the Black community to the show, and his takes on the multi-generational blocks to self-love have a lot to offer the current cultural conversation around blackness. We’ll discuss: Why it’s critical to understand the cultural legacy of slavery and the way it manipulated Black people into unhealthy love patterns The concept of unconditional love and whether or not we should pursue it Core vs PRN people in your life Disassociation and how it impedes self-love Working through the differences between your ego and your true self Gentleness and how it relates to “tough love” Connect with Bro Shack: Website: IG: Twitter: YouTube: This episode is brought to you by: Audible This month I’m listening to “Shook One”, by Charlamagne tha God.

Ep. 60: All Things Counseling 02/13/2019

Ep. 60: All Things Counseling Did you know that counselors complete at least three thousand hours of direct and indirect experience before they’re fully licensed? It’s a complicated journey, but I’ve always been fascinated by why and how people do the things they do, so it’s totally worth it. Pretty much everywhere I go someone wants to talk about my work. Once they find out I’m a counselor they end up telling me all about their lives and their personal struggles. Some may find this difficult to deal with, but it’s part of the job; and I LOVE IT!! I also get approached by those who are interested in beginning a career in the helping professions themselves. The same questions come up over and over, so today, I’m going to answer all of those questions once and for all. If you are looking at a career in the counseling industry, thinking about seeing a therapist and need to know what to look for, or just want to make sure I know what I’m talking about, this episode is for you! We’ll discuss: My personal journey into the counseling industry General requirements for licensure including educational paths The difference between Counselors, Social Workers, Psychiatrists, and Psychologists The transition from counseling to coaching, and The reality of making money in the helping professions This episode is brought to you by: Audible This month I’m listening to “Shook One”, by Charlamagne tha God.

Ep. 59: The Psychology of Hate 02/06/2019

Ep. 59: The Psychology of Hate It is inevitable that you will experience hatred when you don’t fit into the cultural norm. Being Black in America is a risk. Being Black and gay is a whole new level of risk. In the wake of the attack on actor Jussie Smollet, I’ve been thinking a lot about hatred; specifically, about the hatred expressed towards marginalized groups. This episode is all about the mental and emotional processes that create and feed that hatred. The psychology of hatred involves a complicated cocktail of fear, shame, and disgust, but what is it about human beings that makes us hate so powerfully and so violently? In today’s episode, we look at: Why humans hate How to free yourself from the hatred of/for others How to free yourself from the internalization of that hatred We’ll dive into the groundings of hatred in self-preservation, survival, and pack-mindedness, as well as how our own fears that provoke us into hating others. We’ll talk about our deep-seated fear of what’s different, but also the deep seeded fear of what’s familiar. Why do we so often hate things in other people that we don’t like or understand in ourselves? My hope is that by the end of today’s podcast, you’ll be better able to understand the psychology that motivates hatred towards you and towards others (whether you are a member of the Black LGBTQ+ community or not), and to recognize and quiet anger you might feel in your own heart. It’s a serious episode, but I think it’s really important to address. Ready to dive in? Go ahead and give this episode a listen.
