Here are some of the best signs from the 2020 Women's March. Today, protesters around the country united for the 4th annual Women’s March, where women and allies rallied in support of reproductive rights, immigrant rights, gun reform, climate justice, and more. Protests were held in cities like Washington, D.C., New York City, and Los Angeles.

At one point, protesters gathered to perform the global feminist anthem ‘A Rapist in Your Path’ in Washington, D.C.. The song was first written and performed during national protests in Chile last year and has since been sung around the world.

In New York, Evelyn Yang opened up about surviving sexual assault and why she decided to speak out. Evelyn, who is married to Democratic presidential candidate Andrew Yang, first spoke about being abused by her OB/GYN in an interview with CNN.

Some of the signs spotted at the protests included phrases like, ‘So much wrong, so little poster’ ‘Public Cervix Announcement: F*ck the patriarchy’ ‘Does this ass make my country look small?’

The Unique Benefits of Teletherapy.

#BlackTherapist #Teletherapy #Triple5LightTherapy.com #AfricanAmerican #Therapist b y Margarita Tartakovsky, M.S. Teletherapy is seen as an inferior alternative to in-person therapy. But while it has some drawbacks, online therapy has plenty of pluses, too. First the drawbacks: Some clients miss their therapist’s office, which they associate with safety and healing, said Jodi Aman , LCSW, a psychotherapist in Rochester, N.Y. Technical difficulties—from poor internet connections to visibility issues–can interrupt sessions. Finding a private, quiet space at home can be challenging. Still, many people prefer teletherapy. As psychologist Regine Galanti , Ph.D, pointed out, the biggest myth about teletherapy is that it’s “a plan B approach.” Many of Galanti’s clients have been doing online sessions for years.
