In this episode of “SOOOOOOOO Let’s Talk About It,” host Jameka Murphy sits down with trauma therapist and woman of God, Dr. Jaquinda Jackson, to unpack the often-ignored topic of mental health in the Black church.
They dive into church hurt, spiritual bypassing, religious trauma, generational pain, and the stigma around therapy in Black faith spaces. Jameka shares her own story of spiritual shame after surviving a fire at 17 and how silence around her pain contributed to a suicide attempt. Dr. Jackson explains how unspoken emotions get stored in the body, showing up as guilt, shame, and emotional exhaustion.
Together, they explore:
Why mental health is still taboo in many Black churches
How performance-based Christianity leaves people silently suffering
The dangers of untrained and unchecked church leadership and power
How parents can better discern safe leaders for their children
Why you can love Jesus and go to therapy at the same time
If you’ve ever wrestled with church trauma, struggling faith, or feeling guilty for wanting therapy as a Christian, this conversation offers language, validation, and hope for a healthier relationship with both God and your mental health.
