Talking Off The Couch podcast focuses on mental health and mental wellness within the community of color. Tatiana Smith who is a Licensed Professional Counselor in Dallas, Texas decided that it is time to shed light and break stigmas about mental health/wellness in the communities of color. This podcast is a voice for the mental health community as well as the average person. Talking Off The Couch will make you feel Ok about not being Ok.
This week's episode I speak with my guest therapist Shemiah Derrick about how addiction can be more then drugs and alcohol it can be behavioral, personality, or shopping. We will also talk about codependency, what it is and how to change this behavior. Lastly, Shemiah will give us three ways we can identify addiction.
Shemiah Derrick is a psychotherapist in Chicago. She works with
individuals, couples and families in both the community mental
health and private practice setting and focuses on anxiety, stress,
depression, life transitions, self-efficacy and trauma.
She is committed and passionate about working with those who are
concerned about unhealthy patterns or those struggling with
addictive tendencies, helping to reduce harm and better manage
urge-driven behaviors.
