Resilience is not a trait that someone is born with, it's something that someone can develop over time.
What does it take to turn adversity into triumph? In this episode of 'Let The Journey Begin', Hilary Roberts and Jason Wahler sit down with Dr. Sarah Williams, a licensed mental health counselor and psychotherapist, to explore her remarkable journey. Dr. Williams' path was anything but straightforward. Her father's dream for her to become a doctor was interrupted by his untimely death, plunging her family into financial hardship.
Despite these setbacks, she pushed forward with determination and resilience, facing racism and skepticism in the rural South along the way. Through sheer willpower and what she calls 'her own stubbornness', Dr. Williams achieved her goal, becoming a beacon of hope in the mental health community. This conversation delves into the importance of resilience, a trait that Dr. Williams believes is cultivated rather than innate.
She shares personal stories of overcoming trauma, including the profound losses of her mother and husband, and how these experiences shaped her approach to therapy. The episode also highlights the systemic challenges faced by minorities in higher education and the crucial need for affordable mental health care. Dr. Williams has created a therapeutic space where everyone, from athletes to everyday individuals, can find solace and support.
Tune in for an inspiring discussion on resilience, the power of therapy, and the ongoing battle against societal stigma surrounding mental health.
