I often worry about us being in a society that is so offended by so many things that many people are becoming.
What happens when a childhood friendship rekindles over a deep conversation about mental health and media portrayal? In this episode of 'Deepen with Christina', Christina Weber and her friend Derek Lewis Gray tackle the sensitive and often misunderstood topics of mental health, stigmas, and media representation. Their discussion starts with the tragic and suspicious death of Stephen 'tWitch' Boss, a beloved star, which led them to a profound dialogue about these critical issues.
Instead of engaging in a Facebook debate, they opted for a Zoom call, resulting in an intimate and vulnerable conversation that’s both eye-opening and heartfelt. Derek, a writer and filmmaker, brings his unique perspective, sharing insights from his book 'The Sum of All Things: Connecting with the Spirit and God in Us All'.
Together, they explore how society deals with mental health, the impact of childhood traumas, and the responsibility of the media in portraying sensitive subjects like suicide and child abuse. This episode is a raw and compassionate look at how we can find light in the darkness and the importance of supporting one another. It’s a must-listen for anyone interested in understanding the deeper layers of mental health and media influence.
