Naming It

Ep 25 - Bad Character Is Not Mental Illness #Trump

LaMisha &amp; Bedford talk about why it is problematic for mental health professionals to diagnose "45" aka Trump without ever actually meeting him. For #RealTalk they sit down with Malkia Chionesu from Beats, Rhymes, and Life (BRL), an Oakland based community organization that utilizes hip-hop as a therapeutic practice for at-promise youth, and take a deeper dive into destigmatizing mental health. The Self Care tip of the week is how to drop some bars using "I am" poetry. #RESIST

Naming It features Bay Area Psychologists, Dr. Bedford Palmer &amp; Dr. LaMisha Hill, who explore the intersections of Social Justice, Psychology, &amp; Blackness. They introduce aspects of counseling psychology that are not commonly thought of, and engage listeners in a conversation about pop-culture and current events in a way that delves deeper, and focuses on how it all impacts on our lives. The Mission of Naming It is to call out the elephant in the room, and to call in the voices of social justice that are normally muted.
