In this soulful session of My Imaginary Therapist, a single revelation hit me like a divine download while Robert Glasper played in the background: “I am light.”
That truth led me to explore what it means to carry heavy emotions, be a safe space for others, and still stay grounded in my own healing.
From strangers entrusting me with their deepest pain, to memories of a friend lost to suicide, to singing my childhood comfort song out loud — this episode is for anyone who’s ever felt like a vessel, unsure how to hold what they’ve been given.
✨ Themes include:
The meaning of “Ellen” and reclaiming the light within
The emotional weight of being everyone’s confidant
Recognizing signs of mental distress in others
How to hold space without losing yourself
The difference between saving someone and simply being present
