Black women are allowed to be joyful.

We are allowed to be warm, bubbly, playful, thoughtful, serious, and brilliant—all at the same time.

Too often, when Black women show joy or enthusiasm, it is interpreted as inauthentic, unserious, or unprofessional. That assumption says far more about our cultural expectations than it does about us.

Joy is not a lack of depth.
Warmth is not a lack of intelligence.
Being fully human is not a performance.

I appreciate this post for naming something many of us experience but rarely see acknowledged.

Learning to prioritize ourselves over others is something many of us have yet to master, especially in a society that encourages/applauds overextending ourselves at the expense of self-care.

You have the right to choose who you associate with, select who is good for your mental and emotional health, understand who supports and encourages you, and recognize who doesn’t. Most every family has members that may not see you for who you are; you are not obligated to attend to them just because you are related. Try to be around humans who elevate you. Keep in mind that friends can also be the family we choose.

Drop a 💚 if you prioritize people who want the best for you too.

In Session 8, “Why Do We Lie?”, I explain why dishonesty creates hypervigilance, why logic does not repair trust, and what actually helps couples move toward honesty and safety again.

Psilocybin doesn’t just alter perception—it temporarily erases the brain’s unique signature.

New brain-imaging research shows that psilocybin, the active compound in psychedelic mushrooms, profoundly disrupts the patterns that make each human brain recognisable as an individual. During the psychedelic experience, these patterns become so scrambled that different people’s brain scans are nearly indistinguishable from one another.

Using an advanced approach known as precision functional mapping, neuroscientists scanned the brains of seven healthy adults before, during, and for up to three weeks after psilocybin administration. For comparison, the same participants were also scanned after taking methylphenidate (Ritalin), a commonly prescribed stimulant.

The results were striking. Psilocybin caused widespread desynchronisation across functional brain networks, with the most dramatic effects seen in the Default Mode Network (DMN)—a system closely linked to self-reflection, autobiographical memory, and the sense of identity. As the DMN lost its usual coordination, the brain’s “neural fingerprint” effectively disappeared.

Even more intriguing, some alterations in brain connectivity persisted for weeks after the experience, long after the drug had left the body. This lasting rewiring may help explain why psilocybin is being intensively studied for conditions such as depression, addiction, and PTSD—where rigid patterns of thought play a central role.

Rather than simply “turning off” the brain, psilocybin appears to loosen its most deeply ingrained structures, temporarily dissolving the boundaries of the self and opening the door to long-term psychological change.

Be honest—does talking about s*x and intimacy in session still feel uncomfortable?

Whether you’re just starting out or a seasoned therapist, that discomfort isn’t a personal failure. Most of us were never formally trained to talk about s*x, desire, and erotic diversity in a grounded, ethical way.

So when intimacy shows up in the therapy room, many clinicians:
• Second-guess themselves
• Worry about “getting it wrong”
• Over-pathologize—or avoid the topic entirely
• Confuse personal discomfort with clinical concern

That’s often erotic bias, not lack of competence.

That’s why I’m collaborating with Therapist to Therapist to offer a 2-hour NBCC-approved continuing education training focused on clinical accountability—not perfection.

Not Yours to Sanitize: Erotic Bias, Power, and Clinical Accountability supports therapists in learning how to:
✔️ Talk about s*x and intimacy with greater confidence
✔️ Differentiate ethical concern from personal discomfort
✔️ Examine how race, gender, ability, and culture shape erotic assumptions
✔️ Offer affirming care without sanitizing or pathologizing clients’ erotic lives

This CE isn’t about having all the answers.
It’s about learning how to think ethically when s*xuality and power show up in the room.
