Don't be judgmental of yourself if you find yourself surrounded by people, but still feeling really disconnected. The magic of group is kind of what we've been talking about that very quickly. I think you recognize that you are not alone in any particular thing that you're feeling right. So this thing that you maybe have been carrying a significant amount of shame around, you realize that maybe somebody doesn't have that same exact story, but that they feel it in a very similar way or they can connect to your feelings.
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.
