Jesus and Therapy: You Can Do Both
Jesus and Therapy : “Just pray it away!” “Take it to the Lord in prayer”.
If you’re Black and ever confided in an elder about possibly seeking therapy, you’ve likely been given one of these responses {insert eye roll}.
This week, we’re joined by Aly Brown- also affectionately known as Aly B, as we delve into our experiences with therapy, discuss the intersection of faith and therapy, and the importance of finding a culturally competent therapist.
Guest Spotlight:
Aly B is the host of Shades of Brown, a podcast that discusses the ever-evolving and sometimes contradicting thoughts of a black millennial. Aly B uses her podcast to create deeper connections among black folks by exploring all the layers and nuances that make our experiences unique. Every week, she shares her thoughts on a range of topics related to the black experience. Each episode, Aly B encourages listeners to shift their perspective from “this or that”, to “this AND that”, and also challenges them to love themselves a little harder. Aly B believes there’s an incredible beauty to be explored in the middle ground.
