I am learning to incorporate the different practices that I was taught as a child, but now with an angle of looking at god as a merciful father rather than the judgmental person I grew up to believe he is.
Ever wondered how unhealed childhood wounds shape our mental health as adults? In this heartfelt episode of 'Today's African Mom Podcast', Mrs. D opens up about her recent struggles with depression and the surprising shift in her coping mechanisms. Known for her candid discussions on mental and reproductive health, Mrs. D shares how her latest depressive episode was different from the past.
This time, there was no prayer, no religious activities, and no thoughts of God—a stark contrast to her usual reliance on faith. Instead, she embarked on a journey of unlearning negative beliefs about God, shaped by her authoritative upbringing and the remnants of colonialism. Mrs. D now views God as a merciful father rather than a judgmental figure, a perspective that has significantly impacted her mental health.
This episode dives deep into the intersection of mental health and spirituality, revealing how childhood experiences and societal influences can leave lasting scars. Mrs. D's story is a powerful reminder of the importance of addressing these wounds to foster better mental and reproductive health. Whether you're an African mom navigating similar challenges or someone interested in the broader themes of mental health and spirituality, this episode offers valuable insights and heartfelt reflections.
