Group therapy is a microcosm of society where you come without having any prior connections with people. Even if you don't come to the table and say, I have assertiveness issues, they are bound to pop up in the group. The next step after we talk about what happens in the group is to talk about where else in your life does this kind of pattern show up.
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.
