  “Pain is inevitable, but suffering is a choice.”  Margena Carter (22:57- 23:01) Margena Carter is a mental health expert and an entertainment psychotherapist. She’s a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, Social Worker, and Professional Life Coach specializing in personal growth, relationship, and career counseling.  Margena has had over a decade of experience as a mental clinician working in a wide range of areas including couples therapy, infidelity, LGBT issues, divorce, anxiety, depression, self-harm, and others. As a trauma specialist, Margena helps people from all walks of life overcome trauma so they can live a fulfilling life. She’s worked with the True Crime TV show. Providing expert analyses of the minds of criminals and victims. Margena helps audiences understand crime from a psychological perspective. “My purpose is to help people understand mental illness, eliminate the stigma around it, and educate people on healthy ways of coping with life’s stressors.” - Margena Carter (6:51 - 7:02) Margena developed her interest in mental health after seeing family members exhibit specific characteristics due to schizophrenia. As she grew older, she made it her purpose to help people understand mental illness. By removing the stigma surrounding mental health, Margena can get more people to reach out for help before it’s too late. Better mental health can reduce crime, lower suicide rates, and possibly mitigate the mass shootings seen around the country. The biggest challenge is helping those who don’t recognize the need for mental health. People have to actively seek ways to get better if any therapist can be effective in helping them. The following are some signs that it might be time to seek help:  Changes in eating habits Sudden change in sex drive  Oversleeping  Mood swings Pain “You’re not alone. Whatever pain you’re feeling, someone else has felt that same pain before. There is help available to you.”  - Diane Forster (24:08 - 24:17) Pain is inevitable, but suffering is a choice. We can’t dodge pain, but we can choose how we live in it. Remaining attached to your pain is like choosing to suffer. But it doesn’t have to be that way, because there’s always hope.  You don’t have to do it alone. Learn how to find your higher power so you rise above the pain and suffering. You can reach out to friends and family for help, and there’s no shame in reaching out for help from a mental health professional.

Well, we can’t stop talking about Lifetime’s doc, “Surviving R. Kelly.” It certainly has left us with a lot of questions that only an expert can answer, and I have the perfect mental health expert for you who is schooled in all areas of psychiatric disorders and paraphilias — that is, conditions of abnormal sexual desires. — as well as fetishes. She is psychotherapist Margena Carter, a media-savvy clinician, specializing in matters of the mind (mental health) AND the heart (marriage and relationships). Margena hasn’t seen the documentary on R. Kelly, and she doesn’t have to. As a psychotherapist, she deals with real-life clients and patients who have various psychiatric disorders. and sexual perversion issues. She says people like R. Kelly, a pedophile — a person seemingly sexually attracted to underage girls — is more common than you think. I would love for Margena to be a part of the R. Kelly conversation. She can help us understand some of the burning questions that America is asking like: Is R. Kelly really a pedophile? There have been reports of R. Kelly being sexually abused as a kid. Does this have something to do with his pedophilia? How is his behavior different from Hugh Hefner? Can he be treated and cured of this sickness of pedophilia? Why do the women in R. Kelly’s alleged “sex cult" stay and not flee? What is Stockholm Syndrome, and how does it relate to the mental state of these women being sexually abused? Plus, she can help us understand the mind of a predator, including their habits, rituals, and need for power. Most importantly, Margena can help us comprehend the mental capacity of the abused women under R. Kelly’s “spell” and how they are possibly brainwashed and experiencing a "mentally captivity.” The documentary was disturbing but fascinating. I think you’ll find Margena’s commentary to be very compelling
