The Purifying Power of Crying
Have you ever wondered why babies cry so much? Toalá Carolina explains that crying is much more than just a manifestation of sadness. It's a natural and fundamental process that produces endorphins and serotonin, hormones responsible for feelings of calm and well-being. As a true act of emotional cleansing, crying is a necessary mechanism for our mental health, relieving tension and allowing for internal rebalancing.
Debunking Professional Help
Often, the idea of seeking a mental health professional is accompanied by prejudice, such as the belief that 'seeking help is for crazy people.' Toalá Carolina challenges this view, stating categorically: it is not for crazy people. On the contrary, seeking support is an act of courage and wisdom, essential for personal growth. After all, as she reminds us, 'even therapists have therapists' – this shows that all of us, at some point, need support and an outside perspective to navigate life's challenges.
Accessible Mental Health for Everyone
Concerns about financial cost can be a barrier for many women who need psychological support. Toalá Carolina emphasizes that a lack of money is not an impediment. There are valuable and free resources available. The CAPS (Psychosocial Care Center) is a government program that offers services with psychologists and psychiatrists. Furthermore, many psychology departments at universities also have clinics that provide free services to the community. Knowing these options is the first step to ensuring your mental health is a priority, regardless of your financial situation.
Taking care of your mental health is a pillar for your journey of empowerment and fulfillment. Allowing yourself to cry, seeking help, and utilizing available resources are actions that strengthen you. At Donas da Voz, we reinforce that you are not alone on this journey. Empower yourself, get inspired, and transform, always prioritizing your well-being.
