In this week's episode of Gent's Talk, presented by BULOVA, our host @SamirMourani sits down with Psychotherapist Sarah Ahmed, also known as The POC Therapist, to talk about the growing challenges being faced by people of colour when seeking out mental health resources and support, how we deeply internalize our stress and the harms that come form doing so; how to heal your inner child and seeing our parents as vulnerable humans and the ongoing trauma olympics we seem to all be a part of. Tune in to learn more about how to work through some of these issues on the path to a happier more stress free life. #gentstalk
