A survivor’s self-love
recipe for understanding
and recovering from
anxiety and depression
Maxine Outerbridge

E xperiencing domestic
violence and sexual abuse
is common within black and
brown communities, especially
when committed against women
of color while acknowledging
and collectively addressing the
residual mental health effects
of trauma are not. This keynote
presentation will provide a
powerful testimony of the
inevitable succumbence of
post-traumatic stress syndrome
(PTSD), anxiety and depression
following the rampant ailes
of physical and sexual abuse,
teen pregnancy and familial
isolation. A completely holistic
treatment approach saturated
with the principles of self-love
and coupled with psychological
counseling debunks the often
misconceived notion by untreated
parties that acknowledgment or
identification of mental health
disorders is also acceptance
and submission to narcotic
intervention. Fundamental
self-love practices can improve
mental illness related symptoms
due to increased interest and
accountability over one’s own
mental health, the establishment
of realistic expectations,
adequate management of
adversity and prioritization
of acceptance, compassion,
forgiveness, and care of oneself
among others. This keynote
presentation will also highlight
a personal attestation to psych
level limitations that result from
sexual abuse including obsessive
attachment, co-dependency
and intimacy deficiencies. As
a call to action, there is an
opportunity within the Psychiatry
industry to increase targeting of
vulnerable communities, such
as communities of color and to
mitigate the cultural hesitancy
and cynicism that often exist.
