I am back with Courtney B Vance and we are joined by the co-author of his new book The Invisible ache please welcome Dr Robin L Smith hi Rob hello there Sher I'm so glad that you're here so I can keep talking to you about this wonderful book now Courtney what led you and Dr Robin to get together and team up on invisible ache well my father died of suicide in 1990 there's my daddy right there look at him and my mother to the left there um and um then my you know we went through that with my mom and my sister and but my um my godson died of suicide in three years ago yeah 202020 and I said that's enough yeah um and we got together I got together with our publicist uh gild Squire uh we share the same publicist and uh I said uh what can I do I this is I got to say something somehow m wow yeah you know it's I love this so much cuz my son is is 18 years old I wake up with anxiety at for in the morning you know worrying about him and it because this is like this is an epidemic with boys and men who are suffering ours silently so how can we help the men and the boys in our life who are suffering and they don't know how to even articulate that they're suffering well I'll tell you step one okay is to learn to listen more than we talk because so often as people but particularly as women we want to get in there and talk about something right we need to be able to sit back and become a safe place for boys and men to share when they feel safe you know the other thing that's really important that we can do to get boys and men to talk is watching other people people do it we haven't had the role model so Courtney's mother when his father died by Suicide his mother said when you guys go back home he and his sister we all going to go to therapy in their own respective cities how many parents say do what I say not what I do this mama Lion of Mama Vance she was like no no no all of us got hurt and all of us are going to claim our healing and so we need parents doing that as well you know I um hold on cuz I get a amen it's all right it's all right yeah and let and this is part of it Sherry that tears are our teacher tears are our teacher for all of us so we that's part of it we've told boys if they fall down get up you'll be okay and girls we kiss their boo boo we want to be the example right here right you're showing people what Freedom looks like right here you know it's funny because you have so many people who say you don't have enough faith if you just had enough faith and you pray hard enough it's going to make you go away you ain't going nowhere what do you feel and like you don't need therapy because then you're not having enough faith and you address that in your book yeah so how do we make that coincide yeah yeah thank you for asking that question because there are millions of people who are Weeping right now because you put the question out that they've been feeling condemned by that somehow I failed God and I failed my faith if we really understand the partnership with the Divine it is a partnership we hear in Scripture that faith without works is dead so that means that there's work for me to do and faith is not some Fairy Godmother or Godfather that comes along and makes all well without doing the work so I want to remind us that we are comfortable with the work of suffering because we know it so well we aren't comfortable with the work of freedom and Liberation and so I would just say to anyone who is feeling condemned that they haven't had enough Faith there are people who have taken their lives because they feel like a failure that they couldn't overcome their depression or their anxiety that isn't their issue the issue is we've not let them know that it is safe to be fully human it's our Birthright I mean suffering is a part of our birth rate so is Joy but we need to know that it isn't that something's lacking in US or that our faith is not full actually our faith grows in abundance when you've had mess and gotten your hands dirty from suffering the faith you develop is so much more robust yes than if everything has gone well oh my goodness I I just I I can't wait to go home and and go through this with with Jeffrey and I thank you Dr Robin Courtney for being here invisible a is out now and everybody in our studio audience is getting a copy we're going to have a good time we're going to have a good time it'll be so legendary's got you feeling good

Thank you Mr. Vance for sharing your story.
Dr. Smith broke it down so well!! Can’t wait to dig into this book.
When I left my husband after 20 years of marriage, he was resistent, but we both went to therapy, together and I continued. When the wife of a friend learned we then I was was going, she said, "You say you believe in God. Why don't you just talk to Him about it?" I said, I can't even hear God right now. I need to talk this human stuff out with a human being and when I can, I'll talk with and listen to God. Until then, just pray for me." She didn't quite know what to say. I went to thearpy because I knew that's what I needed to do to be able to begin healing. There have been times when talking with God was enough. And at other times, we need tools and resources God has provided through others. In whatever instance, I don't deny what's going on in my human mind and heart. And I rest in the fact that God is always with me, making it clear directly or indirectly what's best for me. And I know that God ain't mad when I can't or refuse to listen 'cause God IS love and loves me that much.
May the God of heaven, with all power bless you for being so vulnerable and willing to complete this assignment❤. Answered a call, to use your gifts, testimony to heal
Whoahhh…we’re comfortable with the work of suffering because we know it so well!!! I felt that!!
Thanks Sherri for vulnerability ❤️

1 John 1:9💕
All of us got hurt;all of us are going to claim our healing! Whew that’s a word 🙌🏾
God bless you for this book. And especially for highlighting the demons who attack your faith when you're dealing with depression. That just makes it worse and, if you're not willing to be a significant part of the solution then you need to just be quiet.
This was so good! I’m so thankful for this message getting out more and more. I wrote a book called Living with Faith and Mental Illness because we need to bridge the gap between seeking God and also finding doctors and therapists to help us. That’s not a lack of faith. It’s a sign of humility. ❤

The episode I didn’t know I needed 😢😢😢😮
I agree
💕💕💕💕
What an awesome episode! This is honestly only the second interview I’ve ever seen on the Sherri Show and I must say that the positive energy and uplifting nature of the show has given me a great deal of respect for Sherri!
Also, being the oldest child of a mother who was lost to suicide, this subject matter and interview just gave me some clarity on a few things in my own life. I appreciate Mr. Vance, Dr. Smith and Sherri very much for this ❤
I’m praying for everyone else and for everybody else who has physical mental health issues and physical mental health illnesses 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾. My thoughts, my prayers and my condolences are with for everyone else and for everybody else who was dying or who dies about what is going on in the whole wide world and what is happening in the whole wide world 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾.
Sherri looks amazing!
I am currently homeless and I get constant thoughts of suicide. Please pray for me. Cause I always feel like a failure
This was such a good message!❤🙏🏽🙏🏽 Thank you!
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
We love your show sherri
Being in bankruptcy is making me feel that ending my life makes sense !
I bought this book for a friend for his birthday and he has thanked me endlessly.
Thank you Ms. Sherri, first congratulations on your wonderful journey you are on love your show, this topic to day hits home. My Pastor says, Yes we have Faith in God first but God wouldn't bless these doctors, counselor ect to do what they do for us not to use and seek their services to help us to get better . God's Blessing over your journey, family, and ministry. ❤🙏
Tears is one way of releasing pain toward healing…💕🙏🏾💫⭐️
GOD puts Therapist in positions to Help Us when We need it & My prayer is ‘We’ utilize it & not feel ashamed 🙏🏾💕
I needed this. Powerful abd impactful
Please know that suffering is absolutely not our birthright, what IS our birthright is to live a life without suffering. When parents are suffering that pain becomes an experience shared by their children. Healing your pain gifts your children the opportunity to live freely without carrying the burden, that is your pain.
You have a right to experience life without suffering. You have a right to live your life in the full expression of who you are. You have a right to live your life freely and with immense joy. This is your birthright! 🦋
♥️ ♥️
😭😭😭😭😭
Had a bad day thought about suicide. Think about it a lot since mom passed don't have food in the house till Friday kids crying their hungry but nobody cares
I haven’t seen Robin L. Smith a very long time thanks for sharing 💜💜💙😊 5:05
Can we please never have Dr. Robin go away again? The world needs this woman!
Jesus Christ blessed mankind to have doctors and medicine BUT Jesus Christ is the Healer. Doctors treat the symptoms BUT Jesus Christ heals and deliver those that COME to Him.
Sherri we love you and grateful for being vulnerable in your feelings! 🙏
"Faith without works is dead" Bible verse is a popular verse taken out of context. If you read James 2 entire chapter in the Bible you will know what that verse means.
Faith.
