Mental Health
Written By Xiomara A. Sosa

In this episode the X-Podcast team discusses the mental health and behavioral health fallout from the recent Sean “Diddy” Combs federal indictment case. As a prominent figure in the entertainment business, these very serious allegations merit a real conversation about the mental health fallout that comes with it. In this episode the X-Podcast Team have a frank and personal discussion about their personal perspectives and opinions about it. They comment on the alleged coercion and abuse that allegedly occurred and the recordings of these events that were not known to the victims or participants and how these issues affect mental health.

What Happened with P. Diddy?

Sean “Diddy” Combs is a hip-hop mogul who has been charged with running a criminal enterprise that includes sex trafficking, transportation to engage in prostitution and racketeering conspiracy. He is being held in federal jail while he awaits trial. He has been denied bail 3 times as a result of his anger issues and substance abuse history that deem him a risk for witness tampering and also as a danger to community safety.  

The accusations highlight the potential for abuse of power in high-profile circles and the challenges faced by victims seeking justice. It will have far-reaching consequences for all people involved and could lead to significant consequences. We are not diagnosing anyone in this discussion because that would be inappropriate without a clinical evaluation. However based on the public behaviors and the legal allegation against “Diddy” we do have some opinions about some of the potential mental health conditions that might be at play. Understanding these possibilities is very important as it relates to the public perception and the legal proceedings at hand. Regardless of the  outcomes it is hoped that “Diddy” receives the psychological support necessary.

Xiomara A. Sosa

Hi, my name is Xiomara A. Sosa. I am the owner and Clinical Director of Summerville Women’s Mental Health Services.

I am a bilingual Licensed Professional Counselor and Licensed Professional Counselor Supervisor-Candidate. I am supervised by Dr. Latrice Love, a Licensed Professional Counselor Supervisor.

I am Latina, born and raised in the Bronx, New York City, NY.

I am a first-generation college graduate and a very proud daughter of immigrants from Puerto Rico (a territory of the US) and the Dominican Republic.

When I am not working with the people I serve inside and outside of my communities, you can find me working on my nonprofit organization, The X-Studio: A Mental Health Cooperative, or on my podcast, The X-Podcast: Real Conversations About Mental Health.

Education

I earned my Bachelor of Science Degree in Psychology from Phoenix University and my Master of Science Degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling with a specialization in Forensic Counseling from Walden University, both CACREP-accredited universities.

I have been serving clients since 2012, working in case management and other capacities, including counseling/therapy. My work has been consistently serving women and all other underrepresented communities, including communities of color, the LGBTQIA2S+ community, and the veteran community. The bulk of my work has been in anxiety, depression, dysphoria, and trauma/stressor-related disorders, and other specialty areas and issues.

My specialization is women’s mental health, integrative mental health (IMH), and multicultural counseling/therapy. My foundation is in cultural competency and social change advocacy. I focus on combining evidence-based treatment with alternative therapies. My focal point is on treating the whole person, not just the symptoms of a particular illness or concern. That includes mental health, physical health, emotional well-being, interpersonal relationships, and spiritual needs. I help clients identify patterns in their lives that may contribute to their struggles and work on developing strategies for making healthier choices. I am also a 9/11 survivor and a proud United States Air Force and Army veteran. You can read my full bio on my website at www.swmhs.net
