I think it is really hard for us as a society to say goodbyes. When enough of the things that brought you together in the beginning, like they're just not there anymore. It's important to be able to say that to the person so that they're not left making their own stories about what could have been different.
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.
