We are back with another episode of the podcast with fan favourite Dr Yacob Tekie! We're thrilled to bring back Dr Yacob to the podcast and share more of his wisdom and very important culturally competent perspective and experience as a mental health professional.
In this episode, we talk about all things therapy and why we should consider it as an important tool when it comes to taking care of our mental health. This episode will give you a better understanding of what therapy actually is and some of the cultural stumbling blocks that prevent us from going to therapy as well as tips for overcoming those.

In this episode we talk about:
- Defining therapy
- The importance of therapy as a fundamental mental health "tool"
- Why it can take us so long to actually seek out a therapist
- Individual vs group therapy
- How to find a therapist? What to look for?
- Barriers that get in the way for us when it comes to seeking therapy (talking to a stranger about our stuff/shame/lack of trust/fear)
