As a therapist, I see first-hand how therapy helps people grow and heal.
But, I also see a lot of people who areafraid to talk to someone.
The physician told him he was having apanic attack.
But Charlamagne didnt get treatment right away.
It took him eight more years to see a therapist.
To his surprise, therapy was helpful.
He says therapy helped him unpack a lot of the things he’d been carrying around with him.
He mentioned that he went to therapy on “The Breakfast Club.”
Eventually, he started talking about his weekly therapy sessions that took place every Friday at 3 p.m.
Soon, people were telling him that he inspired them to see a therapist too.
He realized that by telling people he was getting treatment, he had become anadvocate for mental health.
But he also recognized thatnot everyone has access to therapy.
He better understood his anxiety, depression, and other struggles when he learned about mental health.
He credits therapy with him helping him heal.
He launched The Mental Wealth Alliance to treat, train, and teach.
His goal is to providemental health services for underserved Black communitiesacross the United States.

Like I really wanna feel what it is to be a spiritual being, living a human existence.
