Understanding Anxiety Through the Body

  • Why Distance From the Body Makes Sense

  • When Intrusive Thoughts Aren’t Just Cognitive: A Somatic Perspective for Black Women

  • Why Anxiety Shows Up Differently in High-Achieving Black Women

What to Expect in Therapy

  • How to Prepare for an Online Therapy Session
    (boundaries, presence, treating the time like an office visit)

  • Do You Need a Black Therapist?
    (fit, identity, values — without prescribing one answer)

Therapy Resources & Access

  • Therapy Resources & Low-Cost Options in California

Why this works (clinically and editorially)

  • You are not forcing new pieces into old frames

  • You are honoring why someone would read each article

  • You are separating:

    • Understanding (anxiety, body)

    • Process (how therapy works)

    • Access (resources)

That is psychologically coherent.
