Child, Get Up

Family Secrets. Trauma. Unquestioned Religious Devotion. Mental Illness. Imagine debilitating depression and anxiety, and multiple suicide attempts. Imagine an unhealthy fear of God that later blossoms into humble gratitude for Spirit. With honesty and transparency, Sabrina Nichole shares her experience of living with mental illness and faith. The irony of the story is her professional identity as a licensed therapist and an ordained minister with an unorthodox spirituality that sometimes borders the irreverent. CHILD, GET UP! is a story of resilience that dramatically says, "Physician, heal thyself" with one breath, and "Amen, it is so" with the next.
