Session 42 ft. Dr. Taylor Cummings

This week on the Couch, Crissle sits down with Dr. Taylor Cummings to talk about mental health, identity, and the pressure to become who the world expects us to be. They unpack what it means to navigate anxiety, depression, and belonging while learning to understand and trust yourself. They also discuss decolonizing our minds, unlearning the ways we’ve been conditioned to adapt to oppressive systems, and why we have to stop treating systemic problems as individual failures. Crissle and Dr. Taylor Cummings explore what it looks like to bring our knowledge, resources, and strengths together to build healthier, more connected communities. Want to talk to Crissle?
