Mental health is something we all have, but too often we only talk about it when someone reaches a breaking point. In this special conversation, **Shannon from S.C. Healing Haven** joins **Let’s…
So...
Let me ask you, and having this conversation made me really, really...
Think about this because when we talk about mental health and understanding that mental health awareness has really been at an all-time high.
Pre-COVID, it was being talked about.
Post-COVID, it like really surged.
And that's a good thing.
That's a good thing to awareness.
That's a good thing that a lot of people are seeking mental health therapy, counseling, whatever.
But let me ask you, in this journey of deciding to make your dream come into fruition, your practice is literally in our backyard, right? And that close proximity to where you grew up with people that know you, you know people.
We're talking about therapy here.
And how do you bridge that gap of, I know you.
I know you need therapy.
I know you may need some therapy.
Mental health adjustments Or just to have a conversation with somebody But I can't Cross that line To suggest that to you Because you looking at me As Shannon not someone who practices mental health.
And how do you bridge that gap? Because I think that gap is major because you see a lot of people who are practitioners, they won't really be in the area they grew up in.
Touche.
True.
So how do you balance that? I
guess when I was a more youthful, more of a novice in the mental health field, it was more challenging.
because believe it or not, I was more, I won't say combative, but I was more challenging at that point, right? And now, you know, being in the backyard of where I grew up and where my practice is and where more of my community works will be on blast, it will be recognized.
At this point, I believe, I like to believe that how I show up in the community and you know, those who, who know me, who've known me, there isn't that much of a deviation from like, okay, I can see her trying to say some crap like this.
I can see her trying to get me to do something, go talk to somebody or I it's, it's not a far, you know, it's not a far stretch.
So it's not as difficult for me as you may think.
It's, you know, it's pretty, it's pretty easy.
Funny thing is two people recently, literally in the past, I say 48 hours.
