EP 11. Release Repressed Emotions, Stress & Guilt to Feel Whole and Accomplished.

In my view, seeking therapy is not as stigmatized as it once was. People are more willing to seek help when they're unable to manage their everyday existence on their own. Therapy is not only for those who have experienced trauma in their lives, but it is also for those who experience any of life's challenges and need help to manage them. Moms, if you're tired of exerting energy and cleaning your house, get a housekeeper. If you're tired of cooking every damn day, order take out. If you've given up all of the things you enjoy, don't do it anymore. If your career no longer serves you well, change it. If you need to vent to avoid exploding on your family, talk to a professional. Dr. Tai shares her expertise and offers ways for the every day woman to feel and be more at peace and aligned with how she wants to live her best life. Dr. Tai is a licensed psychologist. Her formal education includes a BA from Spelman College and a PhD in Counseling Psychology from Southern Illinois University Carbondale. She completed both a pre and postdoctoral fellowship at the University of California Irvine and has over 12 years of professional experience, which includes clinical practice and mental health consulting. Dr. Tai specializes in working with ambitious professionals who struggle with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma and career and relationship issues. In 2017, she founded The Black Girl Doctor, a virtual mental health practice specializing in therapy for professional Black women. Her practice is rooted in a social justice mission that asserts, Black women deserve joy -- especially those who are called and who answer that call to do great things.
