You’re probably here because you’ve had more than a few experiences that have led you to feel not enough of one or more of your races, you realized that these feelings became amplified when they are related to your mixed-race… all humans experience difficulties with their mental health, but there are extra layers that mixed women deal with that often go unseen by monoracial therapists
It’s so easy to get wrapped up in our empathetic nature, so much so that we often forget about our own experiences, or discount them as not as important as the happiness of those around us, leaving us drained and burnt out…
I know there’s a good majority of mixed women that are battling social anxiety at every corner and feeling utterly exhausted as you try to fit into everyone else’s definition of you.
As introverted women we often find ourselves sinking back into the ever-fluctuating depressive state that is so common in mixed women and wearing that heavy armor every single day, deflecting all kinds of microaggressions, racism, and gaslighting.
This often leads to closing off your voice, stomping down on your intuition, and spending your days conforming to the smallness of only what you have experienced in your family of origin.
