I had the pleasure of conversing with Ms. Monique Darden, who has degrees in Social Work and Clinical Counseling. Monique shares her journey and emphasizes the importance of therapy and journaling in self-discovery and healing. She discusses her inspiration behind creating a guided journal, 'Hey Girl, Can We Talk About Therapy?', a workbook designed to guide individuals through a year of therapy. Monique aims to partner with agencies and private practices to make her book available as a resource for therapists and their clients. In this conversation, Monique discusses the importance of therapy and mental health. She emphasizes the need to surrender and let go of emotional baggage, as well as the significance of sitting with and acknowledging our feelings. Monique also shares her personal journey with mental health and the importance of seeking support and getting a proper diagnosis.
