In any group dynamic, nothing happens without safety. Like there's got to be psychological safety. And so I think being able to have that interview with the therapist ahead of time really kind of sets them up for, okay, I know what I'm getting into you. But that doesn't mean that you want to like jump in your first session and like tell everything though you might, right?
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.
