Episode notes

The notion that you could potentially move faster towards feeling better in a group context is counterintuitive. There's also something called vicarious learning that happens in a group, right? So there's a way that you could be learning and thinking about things differently just by hearing other people's experiences. What you described also is seems like there's almost like a normalizing effect.

Esteemed therapist Dr. Joy Harden Bradford, in her new book Sisterhood Heals: The Transformative Power of Healing in Community, emphasizes the healing power of community to combat feelings of isolation. She discusses creating safe, vulnerable spaces and the importance of platonic relationships for genuine understanding and support. Join us as we delve into themes of loneliness, sisterhood, group dynamics, and the unexpected origins of deep connections.
