Telemental Health and Self Quarantine Mar 16, 2020

Show notes

In this day and age it is imperative that we get our therapy services no matter what is going on in the world. On this episode of @blacktherapistpodcast we talk about the need for stable telemental health platforms like @trucircle to help us get through these next few weeks and beyond.

As a clinician I don’t want my money to stop just because my clients can’t get to me. And I want a practice around my lifestyle and not the other way around. Elemental health gives me that option.

During the “corona lock down” will your clients have the proper access to you they need? If you don’t already have a plan in place let #blacktherapistpodcast and #mytrucircle help!

Generational curses are easy to spot and hard to break if you know what you’re looking for. In isolation we replicate family patterns without intention based solely on actions we repeatedly do.

While there are some things that are predetermined, genetics predispositions a lot of the habits we combat are a result of information, access, resources and support to change things.
