Fellow Readers....
As many of you have read on the About page, I do attend therapy as apart of my mental health journey and healing. The thought of needing therapy made me feel like I was loony and crazy. But what I found out is how freeing it becomes for you. Now, it may taking two or three therapists before you find the right fit. It's important to find someone who has the clinical experience with whatever is ailing you. This is important as they help you navigate what is going on with you. As well as, you'll want this person to help you build a skill set of coping mechanisms to deal with every day living. For me, I'm on my third therapist. The one I'm currently seeing happens to have a clinical psychology background, which I find extremely important for someone with my particular grouping of mental illnesses. As for being a writer, which is normally a vary solitary activity, I realize that too also requires a village to go through to our finished product. Even while I was putting the finishing touches on Holes... I consulted with an author mentor, an editor, and a few other people during the final stages before publication. Mental health and writing are very similar in that respect. They both require a village to go through the processes it takes to reach a finish line. I'm excited to announce that I found a love group of ladies on Facebook through a writer's group called Moms Who Write. While reading through their posts, I came across a young woman looking for ladies to get involved in a podcast from a group called These Mums Write Podcast. I recently submitted a query to join their ranks and was accepted. I'm hoping to be talking soon about my books, writing, mental health, and other amazing topics.
