The Things I Wish I Knew
$25.00The importance of mental health and emotional wellness has been on the rise in recent years with many people looking for resources to help them be their best selves. While many resources do exist, few have been written to speak to the millennial generation and those following in a way that feels real and relatable in today’s day and age. After gaining an awareness of the gap in psychoeducation that exists between the African American community and traditional mental health spaces, author and therapist Brittany Rogers, made an effort to help meet this need through one resource, this book. Designed to be a hybrid of a self-help book and textbook, its purpose is to educate the everyday person on the most foundational mental and emotional concepts that form the type of person we become and how we interpret life’s experiences. By understanding and being knowledgeable about concepts such as attachment, boundaries, coping
skills, self-care, etc., we have a better chance of adapting to life’s changes and hardships in a healthy way. Intertwined with personal stories of hardship, growth, transition, and struggles with her own mental health, Brittany demonstrates the necessity of doing one’s own internal work to create a meaningful life. People that read this book will walk away with a higher level of self-awareness and be better able to fluctuate through the transitions of life with lessened mental and emotional distress.
