Stay Mentally Dope Charmaine Beasley, LPC-S & Jasmine Bishop, LPC-S

My Girllllllllfriends, there through thick and thin. Yup, we are talking about an episode of Girlfriends. The episode we chose is the episode where everything fell apart and Toni and Joan stopped being friends. It was a lot and a lot changed. We are still heart broken. In this We are focusing on the self-care aspect and what happens when we are doing thing in the name of self-care but it is actually harming us and/or harming our relationships. Join us as we discuss what self-care is, what it looks like, and what it is not.

We are back and we are discussing an episode from one of the greatest shows of all time. No need to debate us, we said what we said. We are talking about Living Single. In this episode, one of the main characters Regine is having a breast reduction and feeling like she is losing her best asset. Regine is learning where she thought her self confidence came from and where it may actually come from.
We are gearing up for a hot girl summer and this episode is the beginning. We are talking about self confidence, self esteem, and what things we believe about ourselves make us more confident or better. It is a lot but as always we are doing it with a lot of laughs along the way. Join Charmaine and Jasmine, two black licensed mental health therapists, on this journey to staying mentally dope.
