Therapists Review Gabrielle Union's Book- We're Going to Need More Wine Pt. 2

We are back and still discussing Gabrielle Union’s book, We’re Going to Need More Wine. From confronting trauma to celebrating joy, Union’s storytelling offers a raw and unfiltered look at the intersections of race, gender, mental health, and culture.

We discuss the importance of vulnerability in breaking generational cycles, how humor and honesty can serve as healing tools, and why Black stories like Union’s are vital in shifting narratives around mental health. Join us as we unpack part two of the lessons within her book and reflect on how her journey invites all of us to embrace our full selves—with grace, courage, and maybe even a little more wine.
