From My Mind to Yours

Ok girl...I just finished one episode..”5 signs its time to move on”...and you know I keep it real..I loved it!! Your voice is so soothing and your content was laid out very well. 👏🏽👏🏽 On to the next episode.😀

The Bishop Murphy episode really helped me and I believe it will help other people as well.

Listening and to the episode with you and Bishop Murphy helped me realize something. For the last few years, I felt like I’ve become numb to different people and different experiences (i.e. - death, someone experiencing a trauma, etc.) Stuff that used to move me emotionally, or situations or circumstances that the natural reaction should have been compassion...I was bankrupt. I didn’t like the feeling and I knew something was off but I didn’t know what it was. Until you said Compassion Fatigue. Even though I’m not a Pastor, Doctor/Nurse or Therapist, for so long I was that person that many of my family & friends depended on for various reasons. Whenever there was a crisis, a new trial/tribulations or a new diagnosis, I was the go to person. Every problem people experienced, it was like they had to come to me to help resolve. I’ve felt like I was pulled and pulled and pulled and pulled, to where I’ve just become numb to things. I’m just so exhausted hearing about other people’s problems, that when I started to experience my own, no one was there...and I just wasn’t feeling anything anymore, when I knew I should have. Anyhoo, I’m going to research this Compassion Fatigue more and see what I learn. Great Episode.

Keeanna, thank you so much for your inspired and open outlook on life. I appreciate that you take the time to sit down and address the issues that we all face daily in spirituality. Whether someone is believer or not does not change the fact that mental health can be stigmatized in their life. As a mental health professional myself I see how critical these issues can be for each of us as we face the challenges and changes of life. We all need support sometimes. What really inspired me about this podcast was the time you took to talk about compassion fatigue and the need to have balance in life. The process of life, working, and finding this balance certainly does involve having time away from serving others and giving myself room to relax and breathe. Thank you for these podcasts that can be a platform for greater and challenging things. You are an inspiring therapist and I am thankful to know you!
