"Nothing ever goes away until it teaches us what we need to know."
On today's episode Abby and Margot welcome their next guest, D'mitri Colbert. D'mitri is a motivational speaker and voiceover artist from North Carolina. His story begins as an 18 year old freshman in college who suddenly found himself in the throes of a panic attack, and from that point experienced anxiety frequently. Everything from overwhelm, intrusive thoughts, and a rigorous schedule all while trying to do the hard work of growing up. He noticed becoming a shell of himself and feeling shame around his experience, leading him to hide it from everyone. Only after speaking with a friend did he start to feel less alone. Therapy, useful analogies, anchoring phrases and reframes and other coping strategies has led him to finding hope and inspiration for himself and others. He reminds the Warriors to keep breaking down the stigma surrounding getting help for mental health, and that "trouble doesn't last forever."
