Mary's Journey: Embracing Self-Love and Shattering Stigmas

I have this repetitive noise coming from somewhere in my past that was telling me I wasn't enough or was telling me that I should be afraid and I'm not safe.
Ever wondered how self-love can transform your recovery journey? In this episode of 'One Day I Decided', host Omanda Patricia chats with Mary, a licensed therapist with a heart full of empathy. Mary opens up about her own experiences with trauma and how she found healing through self-love. She shares practical tools for self-soothing and nurturing your inner child, even if your upbringing made you believe you didn't deserve it.
Mary also dives into the unique challenges faced by those growing up in bi-racial families, shedding light on issues of identity and self-worth. But it's not just about personal stories; Mary tackles the broader stigmas around therapy and mental health, especially in marginalized communities. She discusses the evolution of therapy and its importance in breaking down societal barriers. This episode is packed with insights on mindfulness, positive self-talk, and creating a healthy belief system.
If you're on a journey to recovery or supporting someone who is, Mary's story offers hope and practical advice to help you along the way.
