Fear & Faith

Erinn and Anthony are joined on the podcast by our multifaceted
CAPS colleague Kadeisha Bonsu, LCSW.  Kadeisha is not only a
licensed clinical social worker and therapist, but she is also an
ordained minister!  She discusses her journey in faith and
shares with us the major life lesson she has learned - that fear
is a liar!  Kadeisha discusses what she has learned about
leaning into fear, and the possibilities of life that open up
when she has.  Kadeisha also discusses the important role
dance has played in her life and how dancing can be a
representation of the divine; a way to feel close to God and to
experience the presence of a divine spirit in her life.  We
encourage everyone listening to know that religion and
spirituality are an important topic of discussion and identity
that can be brought to therapy, just like race, gender, or other
diverse aspects of identity.  That it makes sense this would
come up in therapy given the prominent role religion and
spirituality play in many people's lives, and in their mental
health. With a personal story this jam packed it was inevitable
that we would only scratch the surface of who Kadeisha is.
 We are already planning the sequel podcast episode! Please
join us for this wonderful discussion.
