I Really Mean It

This recent cry for black men to seek help for our mental health is interesting. There’s no denying we harbor a unique pain that is generationally inherited, festering in the pit of who we are, attacking our mind and body. But, it is a symptom of a societal ill that these same people are seemingly content with being left untreated.

Super essential. After I get my masters in social work and get experience as a therapist, I'm opening a private practice in a predominantly black neighborhood and incentivizing black people to get treatment

Just curious have you or anyone you’ve known needed psychiatric help?
I'm in therapy and it was important that I found a Black male therapist. The only thing that kept me from it in the past was the extremely silly idea of "what can this person tell me about myself that I can't figure out on my own"

Most of us need therapy. Holding onto pointless shyt for years, messing up relationships or holding onto toxic ones trying to please people.

But yeah, the stigma about therapy needs to kick rocks. Not every one requires the services of professional psychiatric aid, but those that do shouldn't shy from it... but at minimum, talk to somebody about it. If you can't confide to your woman or friends... guarantee you go to a restaurant, sit at the bar and make a friend with another dolo-patron and i assure you 9.8 times out of ten, you can make a new friend that will listen to your problems and won't judge you because they don't know like that (and you won't care if they do criticize you because of the aforementioned) and will offer unsolicited advice you might be able to consider. Just a thought.
The idea is to find solace is strangers (because everyone else was one at some point in our lifes).
"The last few years I've been working on me baby... there's so much trauma - IN MY LIFE..."

I'm aware. I'm originally from Southfield. Mr. Wilson is doing some fantastic things, and I hope he continues to grow his platform and help as many men, young and old as much as possible.
