A lot of the teaching is your whole space. Your job is to listen, it's to reflect and then it's to ask intelligent questions. And I get that in a therapeutic context because you're trained to do that. In a friend context, how do you navigate that? Because actually saying like, here's what to do or like, like do this might not be the most helpful thing to say rather than just saying more asking questions.
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.
