Hi there, before I seek advice I’d like to state that I don’t know much about native Australian/Aboriginal belief or culture, so if I say anything wrong or disrespectful I am so sorry. My parents are immigrants, and I do not have any aboriginal blood. My schooling was heavily focused on Protestant religion. I never had the opportunity to learn about native Australian/Aboriginal belief or culture. Basically, my mental health has been getting worse over the past 10-15 years, regardless of what I try to do to help (diet, exercise, therapy and medication). I don’t think what’s happening to me can easily be solved with only CBT, DBT, therapy or medication. I have been trying to improve my mental health since 2010 but I feel as though I am not getting better. I would like to speak to someone spiritual to seek guidance or advice, however I seem to only find white spiritual healers/workers/psychics. No disrespect to white spiritual workers, but I don’t really want to go out of my way to interact with them, as from what I’ve seen at psychic or spiritual festivals, most of them seem to give very generalised advice which could be applicable to almost anyone. I am asking specifically for Aboriginal Australian advice or guidance because I am living on Australian land, more specifically in South Australia, and I feel that Aboriginal Australians would know more about spirituality in Australia, making them a more trustworthy and reliable source when seeking advice, in comparison to white people who have only been living in Australia for roughly 200 years. Once again, if I have said anything wrong or offensive I do apologise. I am very uneducated in Aboriginal/native Australian culture. Can I please have some advice and if I am in the wrong subreddit can I please be pointed in the right direction? Thank you so much for reading.
