Podcasts about Therapy

When you think about the Black American experience, soul food is interwoven throughout its fabric. It carries stories and traditions across generations, and marks memories shared with people you love. And through the years, its definition has evolved and even been misunderstood by those who don’t understand its significance. Today, we’re unpacking all of that with Sierra Reece. Sierra is a culinary creator and entrepreneur focused on Black American foodways, soul food, and African diaspora cuisine. We talked about what soul food really means, how she balances tradition with experimentation, and why food can be such a powerful tool for preserving culture and identity. About the Podcast The Therapy for Black Girls Podcast is a weekly conversation with Dr. Joy Harden Bradford, a licensed Psychologist in Atlanta, Georgia, about all things mental health, personal development, and all the small decisions we can make to become the best possible versions of ourselves.

How Does an Anxiety Therapist Talk About Anxiety All Day Without Getting Triggered?People ask me this constantly. I'm a former sufferer of panic disorder, agoraphobia, OCD, and depression — and now I spend my days immersed in all of it. Therapy clients, podcasts, books, social media. Anxiety is basically my entire professional life. So how does a person like me not end up right back where they started?The answer isn't a trick or a technique. It's what recovery actually produces — and once you understand it, it reframes what you're working toward in a pretty significant way.In this episode I explain why talking about anxiety all day doesn't trigger me, what changed through my own recovery process, and why the same change is available to you. I also share a real example from the last few months involving my dog Copper, some stress-related symptoms that showed up during a difficult time, and what it looked like to have those experiences without fear driving the whole thing.We also get into my OCD history with existential thoughts — something that used to pin me down for weeks — and what that same material looks like now. Same discomfort. Completely different relationship to it.This one is old school Anxious Truth. No script, no notes. Just an honest answer to a question a lot of you have been asking, and what I think it means for where you're headed.For show notes on this episode:https://theanxioustruth.com/345Want to talk about this episode with me, Josh Fletcher, and others that are sharing your experience and know what it feels like?

On this episode of The Federalist Radio Hour, psychotherapist Jonathan Alpert joins Federalist Elections Correspondent Matt Kittle to discuss the negative effects of widespread "therapy culture," explain how over-therapization exacerbates America's mental health crisis, and weigh in on the concerning symptoms associated with so-called "Trump Derangement Syndrome." Buy Alpert's book Therapy Nation: How America Got Hooked on Therapy and Why It's Left Us More Anxious and Divided here. The Federalist Foundation is a nonprofit, and we depend entirely on our listeners and readers — not corporations.

Zach sits down with James and Molly Christensen, a married couple and fellow therapists based in Sacramento, who spent more than six years in couples therapy before it actually worked. They burned through eight therapists, logged over a hundred sessions, and came within reach of a marriage that had been quietly failing for years. The fact that they are now both practicing couples therapists themselves makes this conversation something rare: a behind-the-curtain look at what the struggle actually looks like from inside.The conversation gets honest fast. James names what he had to face: narcissism, manipulation, a sense of superiority, and an inability to take feedback without it threatening his identity. Molly describes her own side of the dynamic, a deeply people-pleasing, avoidant woman who had been raised to see relationships as transactional, and who spent years wondering whether her instincts about James were accurate or whether she was the one losing her mind. The turning point for both of them came in the form of an intensive with a therapist who was finally skilled enough to hold them both, call them both out in the moment, and care enough about James to be blunt with him without losing him. James started recording every session and listening back four times. By the fourth listen, he could hear himself clearly. That's when things shifted.What runs underneath this whole episode is a conviction that most couples are doing "recovery lounge" therapy, showing up, going through the motions, and feeling okay about it, without ever actually growing. James makes the case that conflict is not the problem in most marriages. Avoidance is. The goal, for both of them as clients and now as clinicians, is more conflict with less anger, which means developing the capacity to say what you actually think, to your spouse, with genuine care behind it, and to hold your ground when they push back. That's differentiation. That's the work. And if you get through it, Zach notes, the intimacy on the other side is real.Key TakeawaysFiring your therapist is sometimes the right call. If you're not making progress after significant time, the fit may be the problem, not the process.Being resistant to therapy is often not about therapy. Molly's refusal to engage was partly a refusal to let James dictate her path. Understanding the resistance tells you a lot about the relationship dynamic.Narcissism has four components worth knowing: fragility (inability to take criticism), a sense of superiority, indifference to others, and manipulation as a means of protecting a false self.The breakthrough often requires a therapist who combines genuine care with genuine bluntness. Truth without love is abusive. Love without truth is just convenient. Both together is what actually moves people.Conflict is not the enemy. Avoidance is. Couples who never fight aren't at peace, they're just not saying what they really think, and it costs them.Differentiation is the ability to stay grounded in yourself when your partner is not okay. It's not about getting them to back down. It's about whether you can hold your own truth without crumbling under pressure.The tools from research-based approaches like Gottman are only as useful as the people holding them. If underlying traits like narcissism or avoidance are untreated, the tools won't stick.When couples heal, families heal. James and Molly both note that their children have noticed the difference, and that the work they've done has changed the floor their kids are jumping from.Guest InfoJames Christensen Licensed couples therapist based in Sacramento, California.

Have you started expecting therapy to do too much? In this episode, I sit down with therapist and writer Megan Cornish to talk about the pressure we place on therapy to solve problems that may actually stem from isolation, lack of community, and modern life itself. Megan shares that many of the struggles we now label as “mental health problems” were once held by friends, neighbors, faith communities, and everyday human relationships. She also breaks down ACT therapy exercises that can help you hold painful thoughts more lightly and reconnect to your values instead of chasing constant happiness.

Drawing from couples therapy, personal experience, and clinical frameworks, he helps us better understand validation, mirroring, boundaries, and the impact childhood trauma can have on the way we love as adults.        If you've ever struggled to communicate in relationships, felt misunderstood, or realized your past may be affecting the way you love today, this episode will leave you thinking differently about yourself, your relationships, and your healingjourney.Tune in on all podcast streaming platforms, including YouTube.Leave a 5-star review ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ if you found value in this episode or a previous episode!BOOK US FOR SPEAKING + BRAND DEALS:————————————Explore our diverse collaboration opportunities as the leading and fastest-growing Black men's mental health platform on social media.

Caller Questions & Discussion: Chris discusses Psalm 37 and shares several of his observations. Discontentment, fretting, and envy make us vulnerable to more dangerous and destructive things in life. But like Paul, we must be on a journey of learning contentment. My husband and my son are in recovery from sex addiction, and my son was sharing his struggles with dating a certain woman. What's the expectation for sexual integrity for men dating in their 20s and 30s? Who would I go to for an assessment for my 34-year-old daughter? She can't find a man to marry, lashes out at people, and doesn't seem to understand how her actions hurt people. I have 18-year-old twins and a 13-year-old. I constantly talk to my kids about sex, but my husband doesn't even want to say the word. Do I back off? If porn is about emotional dysregulation; where does this fit in on the spiritual side? The devil hasn’t come up in my EMDR therapy, but Jesus has.

Are anxious thoughts stealing your peace? Do you find yourself trapped in a cycle of worry, perfectionism, or rigid control—sometimes without even realizing it? You're not alone, and you don't have to face this struggle in silence. In this episode, the conversation dives deep into the pervasive reality of anxiety—what it feels like, why so many of us miss the signs, and how faith intersects with mental health. Nichole Suvar shares her own journey, from childhood panic attacks no one could name, to adulthood struggles with shame, perfectionism, and even suicidal thoughts. Hear how finally receiving a diagnosis for anxiety and depression brought relief, clarity, and a path to healing—and how opening up about her struggles helped others around her do the same. A key theme that emerged was how many in our generation grew up lacking language for anxiety ("just calm down" or "don't worry" was the advice), while younger generations often recognize these feelings sooner. The discussion explores practical steps for those overwhelmed by worry—from identifying anxious patterns hiding in everyday life, to learning how to relinquish false control and invite God into the struggle. One concept discussed is the illusion that peace can be earned through achieving the "perfect" body, success, or image. Instead, lasting peace is something we cultivate—not manufacture—by returning to God's original design and practicing true stewardship, not unhealthy control (18:48). If you've ever felt ashamed of your anxiety, doubted your faith because of your mental health battles, or wondered when worry crosses the line into something more serious, this episode will meet you with wisdom, compassion, and hope. You'll come away with fresh insight, tangible tools for daily surrender, and the freeing reminder: You don’t have to hold it all together. Listen in to discover: How to spot hidden anxiety—even if you think it’s “just your personality” The practical differences between worry, concern, and clinical anxiety Why control feels soothing, but never truly delivers peace What “cultivating Eden” looks like in a modern world Why God’s peace isn’t achieved, but received—and how to start seeking it today Connect with Nichole Suvar: Website: livewithintent.org Instagram: @nicolejsuvar Book: I Don’t Have to Hold It All Together: Cultivating the Peace of Eden When Feeling Overwhelmed (Amazon affiliate link: Tiny portion of your purchase goes to support Compared to Who? ministry.)

A hospital bed, a trach tube, and a doctor saying the water was gone from his future could have been the end of the story. Joe Gonzalez, a disabled Navy veteran, refused to let that be the final chapter. After years of surgeries, opioid addiction, anger, depression, and the heavy mental weight that comes with disability, he found a new mission through the ocean. This conversation goes into the mindset shift that helped Joe move from survival to purpose. He shares how Mother Ocean Fund supports ecological and humanitarian diving efforts, how Aquatic Tribe connects divers with dive shops while funding nonprofit work, and why adaptive scuba therapy can give veterans and others with disabilities a rare chance to feel free in their own bodies again. You will also hear the heart behind Joe's book, Love That Doesn't Sharpen Spoils, including his "landlord principle" for taking ownership of the thoughts, struggles, and old patterns that live in your head. For veterans dealing with physical limitations, addiction, transition stress, or the search for a new mission, this episode offers a grounded reminder that purpose can still be built from the wreckage.

In this heartfelt conversation on I Am Refocused Radio, we sit down with Samantha Taylor, Speech Language Pathologist, owner of Olive Speech Therapy, PLLC, and founder of the Empowered Parent Network. What started as every parent's worst fear — her son's diagnosis of bilateral profound sensorineural hearing loss — became the catalyst that completely redirected Samantha's life. A former journalism student with dreams of becoming a reporter, Samantha made the courageous leap into speech-language pathology after realizing she wanted to walk alongside families facing the same challenges she once did. Samantha opens up about:- The emotional and spiritual journey of becoming a mother of a Deaf child and how it reshaped her identity and purpose- Why she left school-based therapy to build a private practice rooted in connection, advocacy, and safe spaces- The power of meeting families as a human being first — not just a clinician- How she created the Empowered Parent Network to give parents the support, coaching, and advocacy tools they desperately need- Balancing motherhood, business ownership, and self-care without burning out- What it really looks like to turn personal pain into lasting impact for other families If you're a parent navigating speech delays, hearing loss, autism, or special needs — or if you're a therapist or leader looking to build something meaningful from your own story — this episode will encourage you to see your challenges as the very thing that can qualify you to help others.

Sent us text! We would love to hear from you!Every man gets handed the same invisible rulebook at some point: don't talk about your feelings, walk off the pain, say “I'm fine” when you're anything but. Episode 252 is about what happens when men finally put that rulebook down — and why therapy might be the most underrated power move a man can make. Commander Drew and Dr. Paul break down what's really going on behind the silence: anxiety, depression, stress, and trauma quietly stacking up in men of every background while they keep insisting they've got it handled. The warning signs don't always look like a breakdown — they look like disappearing from friends, snapping over nothing, or being physically present but mentally checked out. The episode reframes what therapy actually is — not a couch and a tissue box, but a structured place to get honest, get tools, and stop white-knuckling it alone. Therapy doesn't make someone the hero of your story. It just hands you a better playbook. Good News goes deep into the ocean — literally. Scientists discovered 1,121 new marine species in a single year, including a ghost shark older than the dinosaurs and a worm living inside what researchers call a glass castle. With 86% of life on Earth still unidentified, the message is clear: we are nowhere near done exploring. Jet Jolt puts the miracle of flight in perspective — roughly 80% of the world's population has never been on an airplane. Not once. For those who fly regularly, it's a reminder that what feels routine is actually extraordinary. The Frequent Flow-Line brings a letter from Brian in Manchester, England, who watches the show every week with his children and asks how Drew and Paul decided to join the Navy and become airline pilots. Their answers go well beyond career choices — they're about purpose, service, and what it means to keep looking up. The Wingmen PSA covers EFIL Fact #6: anger is really fear. Stress is the number one killer — and the prescription is simple. Sit down, shut up, and do nothing for 24 hours. The Gouge with Ace takes on a question every young person needs to hear answered honestly: what's the real gouge on success that nobody tells you? The Wingman Story closes the show with Charlie O. and Tyler — a classroom, a partner practice assignment, and one athlete who walks past the cool crowd to sit with the kid everyone else is waiting to see fail. It's a story about guarding someone's dignity — and discovering that's its own kind of greatness.

What if the inner conflict you feel isn't a sign that something is wrong with you, but a signal that healing is possible? In this powerful edition of our monthly feature Dr. Carol talks with Zion and Avery Montgomery to explore how sin, evil, and trauma fracture us internally and shape our emotions, relationships, and spiritual lives. Drawing from both Biblical truths and the psychological framework of Internal Family Systems (IFS), this conversation highlights how Jesus makes us whole as He brings healing and integration to every wounded or hidden part of the heart.   Avery shares his personal journey from living with a performance-based identity to learning how to walk in authentic presence and intimacy with Him. The conversation also dives into the role of the inner child, explaining how younger, wounded versions of ourselves often continue influencing present-day behaviors and relationships.  If you're carrying fractured places within yourself, this conversation will give you language, hope, and a next step.   For more about the Montgomerys: Follow @averymont and @ztmont on Instagram.

I tend to get into codependent relationships and then experience major periods of depression. Is EMDR therapy effective for 11-year-olds? My granddaughter was diagnosed with ADHD and prescribed medication, but she hasn't taken it because she struggles to swallow pills. Can a 20-year marriage recover from repeated infidelity? My husband was involved with the same woman multiple times. I have betrayed his trust in other ways, but not through infidelity. My 18-year-old granddaughter lives with me, and I can't get her to stop using marijuana. I recently caught her and her boyfriend using cocaine that she obtained through her workplace.

If you've ever felt like being fully yourself would make you harder to love, this episode is for you. Vanessa Bennett explores how the too much wound and the not enough wound are often the same core fear: that authentic selfhood threatens belonging. We talk about the way self-editing becomes a survival strategy—somatically, relationally, culturally—and how “being good” can masquerade as maturity while actually costing you your aliveness. The work isn't “just be yourself”—it's staying connected to yourself even when your full humanity makes other people uncomfortable.For educational purposes only.

The Seven Stages of Queer Love: Therapy with Queer Couples, Queer Sex, and the Developmental Model - An Interview with Tom Bruett, LMFT Tom Bruett, LMFT on the seven stages of queer relationship development, the Developmental Model, queer couples therapy, and queer sex. Curt and Katie talk with Tom Bruett, LMFT, founder of the Queer Relationship Institute, about what therapists most often get wrong when working with queer couples, why queer sex is still treated as an asterisk in most sex therapy training, and how the Developmental Model of Relationship Therapy can be expanded to better reflect queer experience. Trained under Drs. Ellyn Bader and Peter Pearson, Tom adds two stages to the five-stage Developmental Model: Second Queer Adolescence and Agreement. The expanded seven-stage model gives therapists a clearer way to track differentiation, autonomy, and connection in queer relationships that do not fit the standard "relationship escalator." Tom is the author of The Go-To Relationship Guide for Gay Men: From Honeymoon to Lasting Commitment (Jessica Kingsley Publishers). This is a useful conversation for therapists working with queer couples, sex therapists, couples therapists trained in heteronormative models, and queer therapists looking for better tools and community for this work. In this episode, we discuss: - What therapists most often get wrong with queer couples and queer sex - The Seven Stages of Queer Relationship Development, including Tom's two additions - Why a "second queer adolescence" matters clinically - Mutual interdependence versus codependence in gay male relationships - Minority stress, the relationship escalator, and queer identity formation - How the current political moment is showing up in queer couples therapy - Trauma activation, nervous-system regulation, and slowing the work down - Support for queer therapists working through a difficult cultural moment Timestamps: 02:28 - What therapists get wrong with queer couples and queer sex 04:43 - Sex therapy training and the asterisk problem 08:20 - The Seven Stages of Queer Relationship Development 13:00 - Mutual interdependence versus codependence 17:39 - The relationship escalator and minority stress 21:14 - The current political moment in queer couples therapy 25:18 - Trauma, regulation, and slowing down the work 27:08 - Writing The Go-To Relationship Guide for Gay Men 33:21 - Doing the work on the back end, not asking clients to educate you 34:13 - Where to find Tom and the Queer Relationship Institute Guest Bio: Tom Bruett, LMFT is a therapist, trainer, consultant, and author who works extensively with the queer community. He is the founder of the Queer Relationship Institute, which provides therapy for queer folx and training for therapists who work with queer relationships. Tom has trained under Drs. Ellyn Bader and Peter Pearson in the Developmental Model of Relationship Therapy, which he now trains other therapists in. His book The Go-To Relationship Guide for Gay Men: From Honeymoon to Lasting Commitment is published by JKP. Tom has spoken at national conferences including AASECT.

How untreated strep throat sent Ron into a coma the first time — in 2015What vasopressors are, why they saved his life, and why they cost What do you do when the love of your life is fighting for his life — and four kids are at home counting on you to hold everything together?Victoria Rosas is a former Dallas attorney, mom of four in a beautifully blended family, and one of the most quietly extraordinary women we've ever sat across from at the Moms Club.In 2022, her husband Ron — a former professional tennis player who competed for Notre Dame, played the pro tour, and coached their kids on the court — woke up feeling off. Within 24 hours, he was intubated. Within days, the medication saving his life was slowly taking something else: blood flow to all four of his limbs.Victoria was told multiple times he wasn't going to survive.He did. But what came next — nine surgeries, 70 hours in the operating room, nine weeks in Ohio, and coming home to a kindergartner and three kids on the verge of launching — is a story about what strength actually looks like when it has no other choice.

This very well could be a top 5 favourite conversation I have ever had.  We came in to restock and clean The Moon for the Sunday Smoke Show and Trish could tell I wasn't in a good head space.  She immediately sat me down got me high and proceeded to give me the most soul shaking mindset shifting pep talk of my life. She told me exactly what I needed to hear both positive and negative. The combination of being validated for the things I was feeling without letting me off the hook for the ways that I have not been showing up like I need to sunk right to the core and I felt myself change mid conversation.  Part way through this Trish told me to break out my old podcast gear (new setup has been nothing but tech issues) and just record an episode.  In this podcast you will hear a raw version of how me and trish talk all the time and I hope it connects with you even partially as much as it impacted me.  I'm so thankful for the amazing people in my life and so excited for everything to come. Also I just blindly hit record midway through the conversation and we didn't actually talk into the mics for the first 9 minutes so the audio quality will markedly increase 9 minutes into the convo lol.I hope everyone hears how much we genuinely love The Moon and the community it has created in this heart to heart and if it sounds like something you would enjoy come join us for an old school Trish's Asylum June 26 and follow the moon @themooyeg

Thomas Ruggia, CEO and President of Theialife,  delves into pediatric progressive myopia, a severe form of nearsightedness caused by the elongation of the eye in children, which can lead to significant long-term health issues.  The development of their novel oral therapy is designed to address the underlying physiology of the eye by strengthening the sclera to halt its elongation, unlike other treatments that only manage visual acuity. This oral therapy is available in capsules that can be opened and sprinkled on food, making it patient-friendly and child-compliant, avoiding the need for often hard-to-administer eye drops. Thomas explains, "Myopia is known as nearsightedness, and I think everybody is familiar with folks who wear spectacles for nearsightedness, or contact lenses, or have had LASIK surgery. But pediatric progressive myopia is a subset of myopia that is particularly difficult."  "The pediatric progressive myopia is a disease that's a bit different than just standard nearsightedness. Someone who might be minus two myopic can easily correct their vision with glasses. In this type of condition, generally, parents have a child who is having some difficulty seeing, and the next year, the child has extreme difficulty seeing. And then every year following, things get worse and worse. They end up at the optometrist or ophthalmologist for extensive recalculating their prescription, new glasses for those years of maybe between six and 16 years old."  "We're actually talking about a disorder that continues for the life of the patient that leads to significant challenges between the ages of, let's say, 40 and 80, where this elongated eye, which is what the condition really is, leads to challenges in retina detachment, maculopathy, early cataracts, and other conditions that are unique to the myopia patients."   "So we have a number of medical devices and pharmaceutical interventions that are being studied today, all of which have an effect on the visual acuity a patient might experience, but none of them affect the underlying structural changes in the eye during that time period. And our ND10 from Theialife has the potential to do so."  #Theialife #MyopiaAwareness #PediatricMyopia #PediatricOphthalmology #VisionHealth #ND10 #AdenosineReceptors #7Methylxanthine #MyopiaManagement #Ophthalmology #Optometry #ChildEyeHealth #ScleralStrengthening #OphthalmicInnovation #EyeCare Theialife.com Download the transcript here

Read along with the original article(s) here: https://markmanson.net/therapy Quotes to ponder: "The primary purpose of therapy is to help us become aware of the unconscious parts of our mind, accept them, and then begin exerting control over them." "Therapy is a participatory activity. In fact, I would argue that if therapy is going well, it's because you are doing 80% of the work." "Therapy should feel a little uncomfortable.

It's not your imagination: a lot of people are in therapy right now and talking about it. Mental health awareness has come a long way in recent decades, reducing stigma and encouraging more people to seek care. But now, with therapy available on demand, there is growing concern about patients following advice they find online or on social media. People sometimes misdiagnose themselves or wrongly attach clinical labels to others. Psychotherapist Jonathan Alpert calls it "therapy culture," and he recently joined FOX News Rundown host Lisa Brady to discuss this troubling trend. He talks about his new book, 'Therapy Nation: How America Got Hooked on Therapy and Why It's Left Us More Anxious and Divided,' warning against people falling into a cycle of never-ending treatment in which they only feel better in the moment rather than actually getting better. Alpert also explains how this culture is reshaping the way we view ourselves and one another, creating ripple effects across the country. We often have to cut our interviews short during the week, but we thought you might like to hear this conversation in its entirety.

After betrayal, everyone seems to have advice. Leave. Stay. Fight for your marriage. Run. Forgive. Never trust again. But when your nervous system is overwhelmed, it's easy to absorb other people's certainty instead of listening to your own truth. In this episode, Lora explores how betrayal trauma increases suggestibility, why fear spreads so quickly, and how to reclaim your ability to think clearly, trust yourself, and make decisions from wisdom rather than panic. Drawing from her experience as an attorney, clinical hypnotherapist, and betrayal recovery coach, Lora explains why knowledge reduces fear, how hypnosis can help break the trance of trauma, and why discernment—not certainty—is the real path to healing. If you've ever wondered whether you're making decisions based on your own truth or someone else's story, this episode is for you.   Top 3 Takeaways Betrayal Trauma Makes You More Suggestible. When your nervous system is overwhelmed, your brain naturally seeks certainty. That's why it's easy to absorb other people's opinions, fears, and experiences instead of trusting yourself. Discernment Is Different Than Fear. Fear demands immediate answers. Discernment allows reality to reveal itself over time. Healing isn't about becoming hypervigilant—it's about staying connected to yourself while the truth unfolds. Knowledge Creates Calm. Understanding your legal, financial, emotional, and relational options doesn't force a decision. It reduces fear, increases clarity, and helps you make choices from a place of confidence rather than panic.   Favorite Quotes "When we're desperate for certainty, we start borrowing certainty from other people." "Discernment is the ability to stay connected to yourself while reality reveals itself." "Fear shrinks your world. Knowledge expands it." "Healing isn't about becoming fearless. It's about learning how to hear yourself again underneath the noise."   About Lora Lora Cheadle, JD, CHt is a former attorney turned betrayal recovery coach, hypnotherapist, and author who helps women rebuild their identity and reclaim their power after infidelity and profound emotional betrayal. Using her signature Life Choreography® approach, she integrates legal insight, nervous system regulation, somatic practices, and deep spiritual support to help clients move from shattered to sovereign.   Resources & Links Download the free Betrayal Recovery Guide: https://betrayalrecoveryguide.com Book your $97 Introductory Session: https://introductorysession.com Follow on YouTube, Instagram, and Facebook @loracheadle   This podcast is sponsored by BetterHelp.

In therapy I use a combination of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Systems Theory, positive psychology, and a bio-psycho-social approach to treating mental illness and other challenges we all face in life. The ideas from my videos are frequently adapted from multiple sources. Many of them come from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, especially the work of Steven Hayes, Jason Luoma, and Russ Harris. The sections on stress and the mind-body connection derive from the work of Stephen Porges (the Polyvagal theory), Peter Levine (Somatic Experiencing) Francine Shapiro (EMDR), and Bessel Van Der Kolk. I also rely heavily on the work of the Arbinger Institute for my overall understanding of our ability to choose our life's direction. And deeper than all of that, the Gospel of Jesus Christ orients my personal worldview and sense of security, peace, hope, and love https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/comeuntochrist/believe If you are in crisis, please contact the National Suicide Prevention Hotline at https://suicidepreventionlifeline.org or 1-800-273-TALK (8255) or your local emergency services.

Sis! With conversations of how we show up for our sisters running the news cycle, we thought we would share a nice throwback this week. Dr. Dom and Terri are thrilled to welcome Dr. Joy Harden Bradford, the force and founder of Therapy for Black Girls and author of Sisterhood Heals to discuss unique dynamics in Black sisterhood. Dr. Dom, Terri, and Dr. Joy share the importance of finding your tribe, cultivating real relationships, and address the prickly parts of growing and growing apart in friendships. Dr. Joy is a leading voice on mental health and emotional wellness, and she’s poured a lot of her wisdom into her new book, while also learning a lot about herself in the process. Lady, if you’re ready to transform your relationships so that they are deeper and more meaningful then this is the episode for you! Dr. Joy offers perspective on what building new friendships really entails (hint: rejection is a possibility) and why understanding your needs can help you call in your people. We want to hear from you! Tap in on Instagram and let us know how sisterhood has helped you along your journey. Quote of the Day:"That thing Black women feel when we gather is a kind of glue, a stabilizing force we actively created out of the pain and trauma of our lived experiences in order to hold us up and together." – Dr. Joy Where to find Dr. Joy Harden Bradford:Website: Dr. Joy Harden BradfordWebsite: Therapy for Black GirlsWebsite: Sisterhoodheals.comInstagram: @hellodrjoyInstagram: @therapyforblackgirlsInstagram: @sisterhoodhealsTikTok: @hellodrjoyTikTok: @therapyforblackgirlsX: @hellodrjoyX: @therapy4bgirlsYouTube: Therapy for Black Girls Wisdom Wednesdays with TerriCultivating H.E.R.
