Perfectionism & De-Colonizing Mental Health with Aisha Shabazz The Anxious Pineapple
-
- Mental Health
On today’s episode the lovely Aisha Shabazz joins us to talk about the world of perfectionism - how it shows up for many of us, how society promotes it, and questions to reflect on in regards to its role in your life. So, if you identify as having perfectionist tendencies like me, this episode is for you.
We also touch on the topic of de-colonizing mental health and asking the most important question “why” - why do we do what we do? Is it really as inclusive as we think? Can things be done differently? How is perfectionism tied to things like white supremacy and what can be done to address it? Such an important topic as we work together to become anti-racist.
Before we get started with today’s episode, let me tell you a bit about Aisha. Aisha R. Shabazz is a licensed clinical social worker, therapist, career strategist, and solo private practice creator. Aisha established a mental health private practice, In Real Time Wellness (@inrealtimewellness), that offers individual and group therapy to socially conscious and creative teens, young adults, and human beings who are seeking to relieve anxiety, release insecurity, and build confidence.
Through her consulting firm (@aisharshabazz), she serves marginalized mental health therapists and helping professionals who are striving to offer high-quality care to their client and patient populations without sacrificing their own health and wellbeing in the process — addressing not only the impact of employee exploitation, toxic working environments, and burnout that occurs in the helping industry, but also offering practical guidance on how therapists and helping professionals can creatively use their unique technical skills to expand into entrepreneurship.
Her business enterprise is value-based and founded on the principles of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI), decolonization, anti-racism, and mindfulness.
