SHOW NOTES:
In this week’s Mind ReMapping Moment, I am joined by a relatable counselor, a mother, a model, and a mental health advocate. We are discussing the incarcerated mind and how Black Americans are constantly misdiagnosed. · Is it working if it is holding you back?
· When is it okay not to be okay?
· How do we unlearn certain things?
These and many more await you in this week’s special episode with Mandii Brown, who wrote an article called The Incarcerated Mind. In this episode, she will share how she creates a safe space for all. Today we will also be inspired by how she empowers other people and how rehabilitation can work when we have therapists like her.
The Incarcerated Mind. An article that Mandii Brown wrote was inspired by the first group of female inmates she had worked with inside. She shared that during the first two weeks of working, they will manipulate you and put you in this mindset that they are inmates. She created a safe space for them because they need to feel safe first for a human to genuinely open up to another human about what is wrong with them.
It is Okay Not to be Okay. We have to teach ourselves that it is okay not to be okay. It is okay not to have it together, and it is okay that we went through stuff. When we stop thinking that we have to suffer in silence, we can start looking for help. But we cannot bear that we are at a certain age and have to hold ourselves accountable to unlearn certain things to grow.
Learn to Unlearn Certain Things. We have to hold ourselves accountable to unlearn certain things to grow. Some people do not want to unlearn when they get past a particular stage anymore because it has worked for them for so long. We need to be willing to acknowledge that there are things that we need to unlearn and be accountable for our healing: this includes reaching and connecting with a professional that can help us.
Incarcerated minds tend to lock us up and limit the existence of our lives. Everything is based on the battlefield of the mind and how we choose not just to live but how we beat ourselves up for having specific ways we think are right. We need to be willing to acknowledge that there are things that we need to unlearn and be accountable for our healing which includes reaching and connecting with a professional that can help us. We need to be responsible for unlearning and knowing that whatever comes out on the other side is for our highest good.
About Mandii Brown
