I think that there are some things that are like just differences and preferences. But what I'm really talking about is like, are you fundamentally opposed to who I am in the world, right? Or how I show up? And we saw this a lot during the pandemic. A lot of friend groups were shaken up around decisions to get the vaccine or not get the vaccine. Decisions to mask or not mask people who, you know, had a higher risk tolerance and were kind of still out doing things with other people who had a lower risk tolerance.
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.
