Speaking with Gravity

So you think he’s a narcissist…but is he really? Oftentimes certain terms become buzz words that we throw around when we see or feel just one or two of the symptoms associated with it. But truth be told, not everyone is what you think. Today, as clinicians, we are looking to challenge your thoughts and misconceptions about various diagnoses  and terms heard around the globe.

Boundaries...What are those? Boundaries are one of the ways in which we define who we are, how we interact with others and what is acceptable. Establishing boundaries is one of the best ways to preserve your emotional energy and define who and what you allow in your life. Most importantly, you teach people how to treat you. -Linda Esposito

The connection between poor mental health and social media apps is scary. In spring of 2021, the Reboot Foundation surveyed more than 1,000 Americans on their social media usage and its impact on their mental health. More than half of the people who took part in the survey acknowledged that their social media use intensified their feelings of anxiety, depression, or loneliness. They also knew that it contributed to feelings of low self-esteem and made it harder for them to concentrate. Yet, we don’t have more doctors, schools, and community groups speaking out against it. In this episode we speak on it…

#Depression and #anxiety can be significantly influenced by our self-critical voice and subsequent behaviors. Yes, there was a Jim Crow era. Yes, there was slavery. But, contrary to unpopular opinion, we have progressed, and we have excelled as a people. Today we will discuss if old ideology is creating cognitive dissonance and a lack of real effort to continue to progress. #mentalhealthawareness

Episode summary introduction: As Black women, we are often seen as matriarchs and leaders of our families and communities. Whether it is in the role of girlfriend, wife, mother, sister, aunt, friend, employee, co-worker, caretaker, or business owner, we give out a lot. And it seems we are expected to proudly serve in these roles since we are often referred to as “the strong black woman.” However, it can become exhausting to constantly be on point at all times and we may neglect our psychological needs. One way to prevent this is to explore our needs and ask yourself: What do I need from me? From others? Or in general… Let’s talk about it #mentalhealth #awareness #supportwomen

Toxic masculinity doesn’t only kill women. It kills men, too. The consequence of this kind of messaging is boys becoming men who are emotionally blunt, and who may find it hard to connect with others. In the worst of cases, it can transform into rage and isolation. In this episode, we explore toxic masculinity and what it means to our current society. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/speakingwithgravity/message

From the time we are born, we are strongly influenced or conditioned to be a certain way by our parents or guardians. That guidance from those in control of our lives can be encouraging and expand our sense of self OR it can diminish and stifle who we really are. Being stifle prevents us from finding purpose, because who you are is essential for accomplishing that bigger goal. In this episode we explore who you really are through a line of questioning that will be sure to make you think, make you feel, and hopefully you do what's best for you. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/speakingwithgravity/message

As the time change, leaves fall, and temperature drop, so do our mood and thoughts. It is much more than holiday blues or a slight change of mood. People who experience this significant change in mood may find themselves withdrawing from family and friends or lacking energy to expend on normal activities. Seasonal affective disorder (also known as SAD) is a subtype of major depressive disorder and the diagnosis presents with depressive symptoms associated with the change of a particular season. In this episode we will discuss ways to identify and address the diagnosis.

Literature suggests that African Americans are much more likely to rely on their faith as a coping mechanism for dealing with depression and anxiety than they are to utilize a mental health professional. One study found that 90% of African Americans reported use of religion in coping and dealing with mental health issues. In other words, many African Americans, rather than seeking support in the form of a mental health professional, go to the church. Today we discussed the role of the church in improving or worsening mental wellness in the African American community (Victor Armstrong/ https://afsp.org/story/the-role-of-th...)
