Myra McNair: Grief is a human experience

<p>Myra McNair, owner and founder of Anesis Therapy and recently named 2022 Woman to Watch by Brava Magazine, is the featured guest starting season 5 of Black Oxygen on grief, loss and mourning.  In this episode, Myra and I discuss the collective grief present as a result of the pandemic, grieving in the Black church, the role of social media in processing grief and so much more.  We also discuss the mental health pandemic that is happening concurrently with the coronavirus pandemic.  Her clinic, Anesis Therapy, had over 400 people on the waitlist this summer. In reaching out and seeking mental health support, Myra suggests to not wait until you are in a crisis - get on a waitlist as soon as possible. Towards the end of the episode Myra provides suggestions on how to hold space for each other, how to listen and a list of app that could be helpful on your grieving journey.</p> <p>#BlackOxygenPodcast #BlackInWisconsin #BlackGrieving #BlackSorrow #BlackJoy #CollectiveGrief #DopeBlackPodcasts #BlackPodcasts #BlackMentalHealth #AnesisTherapy #BlackTherapy</p> <p>Links & Resources:</p> <p>2022 Women to Watch - https://bravamagazine.com/myra-mcnair-w2w/</p> <p>Anesis Therapy Center - https://anesistherapycenter.com</p> <p>Journey Mental Health - https://journeymhc.org</p> <p>Liberate - https://liberatemeditation.com</p> <p>Headspace - https://www.headspace.com</p> <p>Calm - https://www.calm.com</p> <p>National Suicide Prevention Hotline - 800-273-8255 - <a href= "https://suicidepreventionlifeline.org">https://suicidepreventionlifeline.org</a></p>
