Dr Michelle Almeida FINALLY Learned How to Start a Community

Stacy, let me tell you something. One of the reasons why I haven't really been, and I'm being very honest and. How do you say it? Vulnerable here. Oh, yeah. Is that one of the things I haven't done? I've been trying to do something and trying to have a community like this, like what we're doing right now, for a long time. But I never knew how to connect what I do with. With building a community, because I always felt that it was like. Always like business, you know? Like business. And I had to look for something else besides what I do. And I never felt that I. There was something that I wanted to do as important as what I feel right now, because I am working with what I love. And I thought I was not going to be able to integrate mental health. Although I'm not doing anything that is therapeutic, you know, not in that way, because I want to be clear, I'm not working as a therapist with the group. So this is not really therapy per se, you know, But I wanted it to be in what I love to do. And I always felt that it was not possible. I always felt that I had to do something different, and I really didn't feel that motivated in doing something different. And now I'm like, okay, I can do this even with my community, with people that are coming from different programs in mental health, because mental health is so. I mean, mental health is so many things, right? So now I can see it. I can see it clearly that I can still be on my path of mental health and do this. So this is amazing. It is the first time I discovered this with you.
