You Need To Heal Well — Psychologist Tells Yvonne Nelson Over Her New Book
Following the agony she experienced in her early life which she captured in the trending ‘I am not Yvonne Nelson’ memoir, Dr Isaac Newman Arthur, a clinical psychologist, has advised award-winning actress Yvonne Nelson to seek professional and medical assistance.
According to him, people discount the value of getting professional assistance for their mental health because of the unfavourable stereotype.
He said “From what I have read so far, particularly her relationship with her mother, Yvonne needs to heal more. I am not saying that she has any problem but from the book, if she hasn’t been able to heal properly, she needs to heal well otherwise she will pass on the pain to her kids.”
“Besides, now that everything is out there, the bashing can worsen her own state so I’m sure probably, she has someone she talks to but whatever it is, she needs some kind of support from professionals she can trust to overcome the trauma to heal properly from whatever she is going through,” Dr Arthur who doubles as the Public Relations Officer (PRO) of Ghana Psychological Association told Graphic Showbiz.
He urged celebrities in the country seek help anytime they find themselves in mental challenges.
According to him, “Celebrities are also humans so anytime they find themselves in mental challenges, they should seek help. The fact that you are seeking help doesn’t mean you are weak, it only means that you are human.”
Additionally, the actress and producer recently mentioned that she is happy the book has been widely accepted and everyone is reading it.
“It is good Ghana is reading and I am happy about that. I am happy we are all reading,” she told Giovanni Caleb at a book signing event at the Accra Mall, on June 21.
Asked how she fell and whether she was facing any backlash from portions of the content, she responded: “Great that people are reading, I am happy people are reading.”
Asked whether she was Yvonne Nelson relative to finding out who she was, she maintained: “I am not Yvonne Nelson.”
She expressed joy in the fact that the book was number 1 on Apple Store in the area of memoirs and biographies whiles adding that stock have ran out and plans were afoot to order more copies for the teeming and eager public.
Yvonne Nelson revealed that additional copies will be made available at the University of Ghana bookstore, emphasizing her commitment to ensuring widespread access to her memoir.
