REPLAY: Fathers Need Mental Health Support Too! with Fabrice Lubin
It’s been a mental health week over here, and so in light of that, I wanted to offer a replay of a very important conversation with a father we had on the podcast a few months ago. I learn something new every time I listen to this episode and I hope you do too!
If we can open ourselves up to curiosity and creativity, it can help us navigate the complexities and difficult emotions that come with parenthood. In episode 10 of Poised & Powerful Podcast, clinical psychologist Fabrice Lubin shares his story of fatherhood and self-discovery!
Fabrice Lubin is a clinical psychologist, poet, first-generation Haitian immigrant, and father. His professional experience is reflected across the lifespan and in a variety of settings including trauma work, college counseling, IOP/PHP hospital programming, depression, anxiety, self-injury, career changes, and cultural identity exploration. For Real Therapy (& For Real Spaces) offers an opportunity to interweave evidence-based practice with an emphasis toward radical change. He works to create concise, supportive, and tangible interventions.
In this episode of Poised & Powerful Podcast, Fabrice Lubin and I discuss the following:
- How to deal with worry as a father: instead of judging it as “good” or “bad,” consider what your worry is trying to tell you.
- Finding your own parenting and fathering identity.
- You are enough. Problems are opportunities for engagement and to be curious about ourselves.
- How to change our language to connect with ourselves and our children.
- There’s a lot more power in looking at things from a place of gratitude rather than apologizing.
