What is Aunt Jemima Syndrome? As you know, African American women often have the gift of helper, organizer and healer. With this gift African American women may carry the invisible weight of always having to "do more" and "be more." It addresses the deep-rooted anxiety, guilt, and emotional fatigue that often go unspoken--the constant self-questioning of "am I doing enough?" and the pressure to measure self-worth through productivity. Together, we will explore the psychological and physical toll of what is known as The Aunt Jemima Syndrome-a condition rooted in historical stereotypes and systemic expectations placed on Black women to remain strong, nurturing, and self- sacrificing at all costs.
I hope to see you in group therapy where we will learn to ground ourselves in self-love, self- awareness and come out feeling revived, refreshed and grateful. The sessions are one hour in length and light refreshments will be served. All meetings are in-person.
