In this powerful episode of the 10 Lions Podcast, we sit down with a licensed therapist to unpack the deep-rooted stigma surrounding mental health and therapy in the Black community. We explore the historical, cultural, and societal factors that contribute to this resistance, as well as how generational trauma, systemic racism, and mistrust in healthcare systems play a role. Whether you’re new to therapy or questioning its value, this honest conversation sheds light on the importance of healing, representation, and shifting the narrative around Black mental wellness.

Question:
Why do you think therapy is still seen as a weakness in parts of the Black community, and what would it take to change that perception?
