In this episode of the Let's Heal Already podcast J.R. talks about the Pros and Cons of Going To Therapy. Subscribe for exclusive episodes here: https://anchor.fm/letshealalready/subscribe
As I discuss, therapy can definitely be a life saving resource, however it was developed in & exists within a white supremacist society that works hard to quell any & every revolutionary bone in your body in my experience. Recently in the media, people have been saying cops should be replaced with counsellors and I'm hear to say that is not it. I've gone on to talk about the ways therapy is not automatically a good place for bisexual men or Black people, etc. on my Twitter (@JRYussuf) & at the same time I find this a very tricky thing to talk about because therapy has helped me IMMENSELY. It has helped me heal in certain regards, develop the necessary tools to survive & advocate for myself etc while also feeding me flawed dreams that the country is getting better incrementally because of democrats who are "on the right side." It legitimizes white supremacy.In short, white supremacy created (& exacerbates) the global circumstances necessary for me to find American therapy immensely helpful, which fosters the desire to cling to neoliberalism (another agent of white supremacy) for comfort & salvation.Thread on more of my thoughts on this: https://twitter.com/JRYussuf/status/1271482608166330369?s=19 Medical Industrial Complex Visual: https://leavingevidence.wordpress.com/2015/02/06/medical-industrial-complex-visual/ Brutally honest thread listing many of the failings of Western therapy & our approach to mental wellness overall: https://twitter.com/benedict_rs/status/1337532595286978563 The Unspoken Complexity of “Self-Care” https://blog.usejournal.com/the-unspoken-complexity-of-self-care-8c9f30233467 The conditioning that fuels the mental health epidemic for Black men, and how to stop it by J.R.

This episode of the Let's Heal Already Podcast is titled Black Mental Health Advocates Respond to The Body Keeps The Score.

Follow Patrice on Instagram & Facebook here: @PatPontificates Toshia Shaw, MSW is a transformational coach, author of The Green Light of Forgiveness and an accomplished public speaker.

J.R.'s Critiques: There was no rebuke of gender roles or acknowledgment that childcare falls onto women. The trail & error nature of American psychology/therapy & that there was no mention of apology or retribution or accountability for traumatized clients who have been getting ineffective, sometimes harmful treatment prior to this discovery of trauma as the root and appropriate trauma treatment. Is it ableist to frame all disorders, illnesses, and nuerodiversity as a byproduct of trauma? Disbelief of Julian's rape (page 173) and there was little sensitivity or care around his violation. This was the first time he mentioned a male victim of sexual assault (though the statistics say it is incredibly common) & there was a general oddity and palpable discomfort whenever he brought up traumatized men and men's ability to be weak or vulnerable or soft. Black veterans were treated horribly during integration, yet the author framed it like it was a peaceful time and a great thing (page 190). That was telling. Though he advocates for trauma survivors, he seems pro-military/pro-cop. Trauma-conscious is the new, "just go vegan!" This places the onus on the individual versus the system that produces these realities and even further, healing all my traumas is not the end-all-be-all. Calling a man having unprotected sex with men, "dangerous sexual activities" (page 321-322). This was also the first time he mentioned anything about LGBT+ people in a book about trauma and it revolved around HIV and an older man sexually abusing their nephew. On page 341 he points out how inappropriate it is for students to side with aggressors (they do this because they could not tolerate any sign of weakness in others or themselves), and on page 357 he centers the class bully's perspective (and history of trauma) instead of the "effeminate, shy boy" who had to be his scene partner. In a book about trauma, there is no mention of trauma specific to Black Americans via slavery, Anti-Black racism & unrelenting white supremacy.

In this episode of the Let's Heal Already Podcast, J.R. discusses The Best Way to Use the Feeling Wheel by Dr. Gloria Wilcox.
J.R.'s approach comes from the Integrated Attachment Theory by Thais Gibson.
Step 1: Give your emotions presence with no distractions
Step 2: Notice the sensations that arise in your body and put a name to them using the wheel
Step 3: Look for ways you have displayed the opposite of your fear or painful emotion in order to bring yourself back into balance and question any stories that may not be true
Step 4: Give yourself what you need in order feel supported first then ask trusted friends, family, and your partner(s) for it as well
