Thank you for watching!
Therapy, deliverance and healing. All of it is necessary
Yes yes yes
I had an IEP & I’m 23 now. ☺️ Till this day I have an amazing relationship with my school psychologist. She went to my wedding & has been with me since middle school. ❤️🥰
That is fantastic. Those are the lasting impressions we hope to make with students. What a blessing!
That is so beautiful 🥹
Hi Dr Daf, thank you for sharing. I am a School Psychologist in Texas and I totally understand, this is my 7th year. I look at it as saying yes your child has a disability but that does not limit them. I interview so many mothers and fathers that have generational patterns and understand that is what it is. I also try and encourage them because they have different experiences than I do and know it’s a process. I have had parents that are diagnosed with mental health issues themselves. In this situation I still try and encourage them and I think it gives them a little hope and I know God has to do the rest. I think we all need a little encouragement and I pray that is what I am for them. ❤
Wow 7 years that's wonderful. They are blessed to have you because you truly care. It is powerful to encourage and educate them while praying for them. Best wishes in your career and may God continue to give you strength and wisdom. Thank you for sharing love 🤍
I’m glad you didn’t do it kids deserve someone who genuinely cares about their future and not some lady who is just trying to have a certain career who doesn’t have any true passion.
Love these colors on you sis... keep glowing 💗💗
Thank you so much honey!
Thank you Dr. Michelle for always sharing your wisdom, just everything that God has put in your heart to share to the world. You exemplify what it is for a woman to truly be connected to her purpose, and then sharing that to the world.❤
I'm so sorry that you experienced such a devastating loss in your career. I know that would have broken me as well.
I know I've said this a million times on your videos but Dr. Daf you are such an inspiration to young girls and women everywhere. I am one of those who have watched you grow up on YT and while I'm much older than you, you're very much an inspiration to me as well.
I pray God's very best for you, your family and all of your future endeavors.
I’m a school based occupational therapist! Working with you on an IEP team would’ve been great you gave such a lovely personality
I am being overwhelming with high caseload demands as well but I work with children with autism I do my best to show them Jesus love them
How cool!!! Ahhh yes we would've had so much fun! lol
@@briellemayes6723 I can only imagine. It's really hard but yes showing them Christ in you changes their entire world. God bless you babe 🩷
I just want to say thank you, Dr. Michelle… I found your channel 2-3 years ago and I’ve been watching every since, I just wanna let you know how much I appreciate everything that you were doing with your platform and it has definitely made it positive impact on my life! 🙏🏽
Michelle, what a gem to the kingdom! This is so profound!
Listening to Dr Michelle is soo therapeutic and calming 🌟
Your content has really helped me along my journey. I walked away from my career for similar reasons. I’m a stay at home mom which I love, but I am struggling being a wife and mom when the full household and child needs fall on me. I never get to look or feel beautiful. Hopefully it gets better as my baby gets older.
this was nice to listen to 🥰 I love being able to have some insight to your life behind the scenes it’s very interesting! It reminds me of my insurance counselor, she is so helpful and you can tell she is passionate about helping us. Her biggest frustration is her boss telling her she only has X amount of minutes to speak to us on the phone when a lot of cases are very complicated and require more time and research. I love that she never rushes us
Very powerful video Dr. Daf! Thank you for uploading 🙏🏻
My pleasure! Thank you for watching love
I felt this video wholeheartedly! Setting boundaries and staying in your scope are MANDATORY in this field. Once you take on too much responsibility for people's behaviors, you will seriously crumble. You have to give grace and allow people to put in their own work as well.
Doctor, Pastor, Philanthropist, Entrepreneur, African Princess, Motivational Speaker, Wife and Mother, Influencer, Your gifts are endless....Dr.Michelle, and to God be the Glory for that! Thank You Jesus! You are my She-roe Michelle, and I'm old enough to be your Mom! But thank God, because with Him, it's never....to late! He is so proud of you, sweetie! Thank you for the Splendid Kingdom work you are doing for Jesus! Love you. 😊
My son was diagnosed with autism but I prayed and fasted and used biblical scripture and he’s improved as well as changing his diet. But we still have some things to work through but the Lord has been the strength in our weakness and he will prevail ! In Jesus name. And I encourage any mother or loved ones to do the same.
Autism is a difference, not a deficiency. The improvements are because he has a diagnosis & can get more attentive care. God keeps us thru it all
Thank you Dr, we dont take your wisdom for granted , I truly appreciate your videos ❤🙏🏽
Wow! Thank you for sharing your genuine thoughts and experiences! As a school psychologist, I have been having these same conversations and issues as a believer in the public school system. I believe God led me to your channel! I needed to hear this! 🙌🏽🙏🏽
I am so happy you're here!! Watching from Alabama.
🥰😍🥰 You are appreciated!
Dr. Michelle, I have been a long time silent watcher for years, but had to comment on this video. As a licensed marriage and family therapist who ultimately walked away from her career (in the practice sense, as I still maintain my license) to become a stay at home mom, I appreciate this video so much. It was very encouraging and put words to many of the reasons I walked away. Praying the Lord continues to guide me, as my children grow older, to use my education in a way that will ultimately help in the building of His Kingdom.
Thank you so much for your kind words my dear. I appreciate your support so much. What a privilege it is to be able to have helped others in such a way but now pouring into your own children. It's not an easy walk. May the Lord bless you and use you mightily! 💋
Interesting perspective. Never really understood the depth of your femininity content until you gave this back story. Thanks for sharing!
I also appreciate this as someone who has been considering being a school psychologist…gave me some things to consider
Im happy to watch this video. I discovered your channel when i was 18-19 not too long after I graduated hs almost 10 years ago. I remember when were in school before you even became a doctor and you always inspired me. Usually I dont write long comment. Long story short its refreshing to see your videos on my feed again. Be blessed and thank you for always sharing and inspiring ❤️
Thanks so much for this Dr Michelle, it's all love from South Africa 🇿🇦 ❤❤
What a powerful video you dropped ❤ sending love from Nigeria
Thank you sweetheart!
Keep up the great work! Watching from Guyana 🇬🇾.
Experiencing such a tragedy in your career is quite devastating. I pray the young souls we have lost 🙏 may God heal the spirits of those battling mental illnesses.
You are exactly where you are supposed to be! So blessed to have worked with you and call you my dear friend!💕
Aww I love you! You are one of the reasons the Lord brought me to that place and I am so grateful 🩷
Thank you, I’m so blessed to have found you. This is what I need in my life❤
I felt sad with some of the details you shared on why you quit. Maybe you should consider ur own practice where you have more freedom. Thank you for your service to us here on UA-cam. ❤
“This is part of God’s love for you” …. Amen. You are truly transforming me and my marriage and I’m also so thankful to God.
I’ve been following since before I was a believer, back before your doctoral program. You taught me how to date myself 🥰 I miss your vlogs! But loving these videos
Awww that makes me soooo happy!! I am thankful to hear that. Ahhhh yes the good ole days lol I miss them too.. Perhaps someday once time permits I can start again
Thank you for your obedience Dr Daf, I can’t put to words how grateful I am ❤
What a beautiful explanation Michelle, thank you so much for all that you do here on this platform and for helping me along my journey of femininity that I have been struggling with for years due to a childhood full of adversity ❤
This is such a great video! I love all your videos and you are an empowering person. It’s very heartbreaking how you saw more and more cases of mental health crisis. Bless you for the work you do and have done in the past.
Cases increase because of increased awareness in addition to increased need.
These are great insights! Thank you Dr. Daf! Awesome to learn more how your personal journey has informed your professional life.
As a fellow psychologist, I definitely hear you! We have very similar educational experience. I got my bachelors in pysch with a minor in sociology. I went through so much in my specialist program thats i cannot even explained here. So much so that i wanted to drop out every semester. Then, when i got in the field, i hated it even more. I couldn't believe it. All this stress and im still not feeling it. But God finds ways to remind me this is exactly where He wants me. I love these kids so much. They are my battery and my inspiration to keep fighting for them. Because of that, i will keep pushing for now. I could say so much more but ill leave it here. I have not planned what will come after this as a new and young psych. But i appreciate hearing from you and what could be next for me! Thank you for sharing!
Thanks for sharing. Always love and feel blessed by your content.
Thank-you for opening your heart!!!! Beautiful message!!!! xoxoox Praise God!!!
Aww you're so welcome. Amen
This is my FAVORITE channel on UA-cam! I LOVE your Anointed feminine content. I sleep with your videos on repeat! God is truly changing me through your messages. You are such a gift to all of His daughters. I love you Dr. Daf!
Thank you for sharing this with us❤❤❤Very much appreciated💝
This is really helpful and I’m grateful you made this video🙏🏾
I am happy you are here Dr Daf! ❤
Your story about wanting to quit the public school system is what I am going through right now. I am a third grade teacher and love teaching mindfulness because I am someone who really came to understand what that means and the power it has. You seem to have the same gift. People like you and I are so needed in the public school system, but it becoming such a bleak depressing place to be. That is really scary. You should do public speaking at schools to help give your light to the culture of these schools who so desperately need it. It's my birthday today and I feel I came across your videos for a reason. Watching your videos on relationships and marriage came a such a special time for me as well as I am experiencing a spiritual awakening and falling in love is a part of it. Your videos are confirming this for me today. Thank you.
idk, I was going to church for 6 years, praying daily, reading bible and I was depressed and at times wanted to "unlalive". After I stopped identifying as christian my mental health did improve drastically. Therapy helped me but I was unable to be vulnerable with someone Im not close with and that was much older than me so it wasn't as effective as maybe it could have been. I think there are different solutions for every individual but that's just my opinion. Also I really enjoyed this video, probably my favorite from you
Thank you honey. There are a multitude of reasons behind your situation depending on your life story and family history. I'm so sorry you've been through so much. I pray that the Lord can touch your heart and lead you to where you can receive your healing. Thank you for sharing 🩷
@@drmichelledaf I appreciate that! 🙏💗
Dear Michelle,
I almost never comment on UA-cam but I wanted to leave a word of support, encouragement, and gratitude for and to you. I am a stay-home-mom to a teen girl (son is grown and flown) who is attending Christian school after being homeschooled 10 years. You are an invaluable resource to my daughter (and me) for godly femininity in SO many ways. We were just commenting the other day on the beautiful growth we’ve seen in you over the past couple of years as the Lord has been doing His sanctifying work through being a wife and mother. My sister is a school counselor and she has so many of the same struggles. You have encouraged me today to be checking in with her more so she feels supported and connected outside of a very difficult role. God bless you, you are in our prayers, and we love you as a dear friend though we’ve never met.
PS some of the resources you’ve mentioned lately are favorites of mine, and I wondered if you had discovered Voddie Baucham yet?
I honestly feel the same way regarding teaching in schools. The amount of mental health issues that continue to arise in the students linked with their lack of discipline and respect for authority creates an unwelcoming environment. Sometimes I wonder if it’s worth it because the students are under the authority of their parents and after the school day return to them/whatever home life they have.
Thanks❤, I’m so grateful
this hair colour looks good on you ❤
Thank you for you pov and pearls of wisdom ❤
You are so welcome love
Thank you Michelle ❤
My fellow psychologist 😊😊😊
Wonderful video. God bless you sister🌷🩷🙏🏽
I love your content. I cannot begin to describe how your content has helped me improve in my marriage and how I show up in the world. Thank you🙏
I notice that most Christians, myself included are struggling in these work streets. I feel like a big part of it is the push from the forces of darkness to claim industries. So my question is; How are we to take over these industries for the Kingdom of God if we leave?
Thank you so much darling I'm so thankful to hear that! Praise God!🙌🏾 Great question. For a while God would not let me leave. His answer was "not yet" so I had to seek Him and figure out how to bring the Kingdom of God to the marketplace. I found studying His word and praying each day led me to many different situations that His gifts of wisdom and other supernatural occurrences would take place. People would also observe my behaviors under circumstances and want to know how I was the way I was. There were many different opportunities included just carrying the Presence of God which changes the dynamics of every room. I say seek the Lord in your personal situation and ask Him how you can bring the Kingdom in it. In my case, once my work was completed He used my frustration to push me into my next assignment. I know it's vague but I hope it helped.
@@drmichelledaf I totally get what you mean. I feel like you have just described my situation. Thank you for that perspective. It was time. 😊
Thanks for sharing with us
It's such a coincidence I've been researching because I want to further my career... and your video pops up. I feel like this was made for me to see. I wish I could have a conversation with you 1:1... I want to pursue school psychology but I'm so confuseddddd if I should go that far and just stick to mft?
I definitely agree that Jesus is the answer to everything. But I also know Bible loving, Jesus loving Christians who have to take medications for the mental illnesses, and who even have been hospitalized. I don’t think that should be made out to always be demonic. I realize that as Christians, we are not exempt, we suffer from the same plights as the world, and these include mental fatigue. But our suffering is not the same experience because we have Jesus. Lovely message ❤
Absolutely! Not every mental health issue is demonic. Sometimes there are real chemical imbalances etc. People just need to be educated on the whole spectrum of reasons and not automatically told they just need therapy their whole lives. Jesus should be introduced for reasons you stated amongst many more. Thank you for your beautiful comment 🩷
Aw
Jesus really is the answer
Yeah i see there's a deeper level to your content ..even the titles of your videos tells a lot
He is!! I am thankful that you realize it. Thank you for watching!
100% agree with your views on Jesus and therapy and trauma.
I am from Algeria I have a master’s degree in school psychology. Can I authenticate my degree and work abroad?
Girl…I am a Ghanaian too and I’m contemplating on becoming a school psychologist (as an international student).Any advice for me?
@@mabelmensah5021 I think it's a wonderful career and extremely needed as long as you are aware of the realities of the job
@@drmichelledaf My main concern is if I will be eligible for licensure or certification.I am still in Ghana so I’m not really aware of the realities except from what I read online which really does not provide enough information concerning the realities for an international student.
Good afternoon gorgeous
Thank for this post Dr. Daf, however, what does one do who doesn’t believe in Jesus? Or, when Jesus has not healed their hurt and pain? Also, it seems that your way out of working as a psychologist was your you tube hustle. Not much more complicated or more spiritual than that.
