Therapy Insights Navigating Race & Neutral Responses
🎙️ Real Talk with Kevin | EP: Taboos of Therapy in the Streets & the Black Community
In this powerful new episode of Real Talk with Kevin, we dive deep into a subject that often goes unspoken — therapy and its taboos among people from the streets and within the Black community.
Hosted by Cyclonious and joined by resident therapist Kevin, this conversation unpacks the cultural stigma, internalized fears, and generational misconceptions that make therapy seem off-limits or “not for us.”
🔥 What we cover in this episode:
Why many street-influenced individuals view therapy as weakness
How trauma is normalized in certain environments
The mistrust of institutions and mental health services
The role of pride, image, and survival in rejecting emotional vulnerability
The hidden pros of therapy for those who’ve seen and lived through chaos
How therapy can be redefined for us, by us
This episode isn’t about preaching — it’s about real talk, honesty, and shedding light on something that could literally change lives. We explore how therapy might be the tool that many have been missing, and we speak directly to those who feel like therapy “ain’t for them.”
If you’ve ever felt conflicted about seeking help, or you know someone carrying a heavy load but refusing to talk to anyone about it — this episode is for you.
