Speaker 1: Welcome to the Therapy for Black Girls podcasts, where we
Speaker 1: focus on all things mental health, personal development, and all
Speaker 1: the small decisions we can make to become the best
Speaker 1: possible versions of ourselves. I'm your host, Dr Joy Harden Bradford,
Speaker 1: a licensed psychologist in Atlanta, Georgia. To find more information
Speaker 1: and to get resources, visit the website at Therapy for
Speaker 1: Black Girls dot com. And while I hope you love
Speaker 1: listening to and learning from the podcast, it is not
Speaker 1: meant to be a substitute for a relationship with a
Speaker 1: licensed mental health professional. Hey, y'all, welcome to session six
Speaker 1: of the Therapy for Black Girls podcast. I hope that
Speaker 1: you're doing well and they're starting off me strong. For
Speaker 1: everybody who's looking at graduating in a couple of weeks,
Speaker 1: I hope that you're getting really excited. Maybe feeling a
Speaker 1: little stressed, but I'm sure excited, not all the same.
Speaker 1: So today we will start our celebration of Mental Health
Speaker 1: Awareness Month. Um So, every year in May we celebrate
Speaker 1: Mental Health Awareness Month. And I want to give a
Speaker 1: huge shout out to one of our TBG listeners, Brandy
Speaker 1: um So. She had a great idea of talking about
Speaker 1: relationships UM. And so that's what we're gonna do for
Speaker 1: the month of me. We're gonna talk about a variety
Speaker 1: of different relationships. So today we are going to start
Speaker 1: with friendships. So today in the no copay needed section,
Speaker 1: I want to talk about a couple of different things.
Speaker 1: So I want to spend some time talking about an
Speaker 1: interesting article that came out in Psychology Today, UM earlier
Speaker 1: in March. And then I want to talk about where
Speaker 1: we can find friends. So I often get the um
Speaker 1: that come plaint or the difficulty that it's hard to
Speaker 1: find friends kind of once you're out of college and
Speaker 1: not related to an education system somehow, and that becomes
Speaker 1: more difficult for people. And then I also want to
Speaker 1: talk about how to be a good friend and how
Speaker 1: to know when it's time for a friendship to end.
Speaker 1: So UM starting with the article from Psychology Today. So
Speaker 1: the article and again all of this will be included
Speaker 1: in the show notes. You can go to therapy from
Speaker 1: black Girls dot Com Session six UM. So the article
Speaker 1: is called eleven Surprising things good friendships do for you.
Speaker 1: The key word here is good, but again we'll talk
Speaker 1: about that a little later. So eleven things UM Lowered
Speaker 1: blood pressure increased pain threshold, better immune system, a lowered
Speaker 1: risk for heart disease and stroke, improved outcomes for certain cancers,
Speaker 1: increased overall longevity, increased creativity, imp of professional opportunities, reduce
Speaker 1: cognitive decline, improved prognosis after trauma, and a reduced risk
Speaker 1: for depression. So you can read more about all of
Speaker 1: those things. But if you listen to that list, I mean,
Speaker 1: that's definitely no, not a bad areas of improvement to have.
Speaker 1: So when you think about good friendships and how they
Speaker 1: can help with all of those issues, we really want
Speaker 1: to have good friends in our lives. So, like I
Speaker 1: mentioned before, UM I often hear the complaint that it's
Speaker 1: really hard to find friends, and maybe after you are
Speaker 1: out of UM undergrad, maybe even out of grad school.
Speaker 1: So I want to give you some ideas about UM
Speaker 1: some some places and things you can do to maybe
Speaker 1: find friends. And these will just be UM, you know,
Speaker 1: initial introduction, so you know you won't necessarily find your
Speaker 1: new best friend in any of these places, although you
Speaker 1: definitely can. We're talking about where can you find like
Speaker 1: minded people, because that's really the foundation of a good
Speaker 1: friendship is somebody who is like minded, not necessarily um
Speaker 1: completely like you or will agree with you on everything.
Speaker 1: But somebody who you know kind of at that core,
Speaker 1: at their core, UM is somebody who you can connect with.
Speaker 1: So these are some ideas about places you can find,
Speaker 1: um some people who could potitially become good friends for you.
Speaker 1: UM So meet up dot com. Um So, if you're
Speaker 1: not ever going to meetup dot com, um, it's uh.
Speaker 1: I wouldn't necessarily say a social networking, social media kind
Speaker 1: of site, but it definitely is a place where people
Speaker 1: can list and open groups for a variety of different things.
Speaker 1: UM So, if you're interested in learning how to do
Speaker 1: computer coding, or if you're interested in photography, or if
Speaker 1: you're interested in um like Mommy and Me play play
Speaker 1: date groups, UM. Interested in a book club, UM, interested
Speaker 1: in trying out new restaurant US in your town's meetup
Speaker 1: dot com can definitely be a good resource for you.
Speaker 1: So you just go on there and type in the
Speaker 1: closest city to you or a city that you're interested
Speaker 1: in exploring, and you see what groups are available, and
Speaker 1: you then join and it will give you information about
Speaker 1: meetups that will be happening soon related to that area.
Speaker 1: So I definitely encourage you to check that out if
Speaker 1: you haven't. Another one is Facebook groups, So there are
Speaker 1: Facebook groups for just about anything, UM, anything and everything.
Speaker 1: So if you're interested in starting a business and it's
Speaker 1: very similar to meet up in UM in some ways
Speaker 1: that stuff that Facebook groups don't have the built in
Speaker 1: kind of Okay, we're definitely going to meet up to
Speaker 1: do this on a certain day and time. Facebook groups
Speaker 1: tend to be more discussion, but you can definitely, you know,
Speaker 1: take those discussions offline if you're interested UM. So if
Speaker 1: you do a search for areas that you're interested in
Speaker 1: on Facebook, you will likely find some groups that would
Speaker 1: be of interest to you. UM. Church groups so if
Speaker 1: you are a part of any kind of church or
Speaker 1: faith community, then typically there will be some either a
Speaker 1: small discussion groups associated or UM singles, kinds of events
Speaker 1: or couples kinds of events, UM different interest groups as
Speaker 1: a part of the larger faith community. So I definitely
Speaker 1: would encourage you to check those out. Also, any volunteer
Speaker 1: or community organizations, so things like the Junior League or UM,
Speaker 1: the National Urban League, different kinds of community and civic
Speaker 1: organizations can be opportunities for you to get involved UM
Speaker 1: and you know, kind of give back to your community
Speaker 1: and do great things in your community, but also you
Speaker 1: meet people who are also interested in those things, and
Speaker 1: then you tend to kind of connect around those issues.
Speaker 1: Another good way I think, UM you can meet people
Speaker 1: who are similar to you or maybe like minded, is
Speaker 1: through Twitter chats. So if you're if you're not active
Speaker 1: on Twitter, then I definitely would encourage you to, you know,
Speaker 1: open up an account and see what's going on, because
Speaker 1: I definitely have found some very good connections and made
Speaker 1: some friends on Twitter UM that have been very meaningful
Speaker 1: to me. And so some of the popular Twitter chest
Speaker 1: that I've seen that may be of interest to you. UM.
Speaker 1: There's one called side of Sister, and these will again
Speaker 1: I'll be included in the set in the show notes
Speaker 1: UM Side of Sista, and this is for Black women
Speaker 1: in higher education UM kind of like a support and
Speaker 1: encouraging each other to talk about the issues that affect
Speaker 1: affect Black women in academia. UM. There's another one called
Speaker 1: her Movement UM for people who are interested in kind
Speaker 1: of entrepreneurial kinds of things. And then there's another pretty
Speaker 1: popular one called Black Creative, so people who have a
Speaker 1: creative type business or interested in a creative business. UM
Speaker 1: get together once a month to talk about different issues
Speaker 1: that impact black creatives. So I have found those UM
Speaker 1: chats to be really interesting and have met some really
Speaker 1: cool people through some of those chats, so I would
Speaker 1: encourage you to again check those out. UM. You can
Speaker 1: also use Twitter and Instagram UM to look for podcast hashtags.
Speaker 1: So one of the most popular ones is hashtag pods
Speaker 1: in color um and this is a hashtag that's used
Speaker 1: to promote podcasts that have hosts of color UM. And
Speaker 1: so if you are into podcasts, I mean, if you're
Speaker 1: listening to this one, I'm guessing that you listen to
Speaker 1: probably at least a few others, and so this I
Speaker 1: think is a really cool way to find other people
Speaker 1: who are listening to the same podcast that you're listening
Speaker 1: to and strike up some conversation around that. So I know, UM,
Speaker 1: you know, like they're always these viral UH podcasts that
Speaker 1: will come out. So the most recent one was as
Speaker 1: Town and Missing Richard Simmons. So if you scroll through
Speaker 1: those hashtags, then you can find other people who are
Speaker 1: talking about those things. And so I know, I really
Speaker 1: like when I'm finishing an episode or finishing a podcast
Speaker 1: to talk with other people about those things, about what
Speaker 1: I thought and you know, did you have a different
Speaker 1: opinion about something? And so it's really cool to kind
Speaker 1: of follow those hashtags and join the conversations with other people.
Speaker 1: And they also have UM Facebook discussion groups, so you
Speaker 1: can also find UM podcast discussion groups on Facebook, or
Speaker 1: if there isn't one for your favorite podcast, then you
Speaker 1: may think about UM, you know, starting one, starting a
Speaker 1: Facebook discussion groups so that you can get together with
Speaker 1: other people who were interested in the podcast and chat
Speaker 1: about that. Another way I think it would be good
Speaker 1: for you to meet some people who could potentially turn
Speaker 1: into good friends is through UM group. Physical activity, so
Speaker 1: things like zoomba, Orange Theory, cross fit, UM, even some
Speaker 1: rectly kinds of things. So I know a lot of
Speaker 1: cities will have things like co ed kickball teams or
Speaker 1: softball or flag football, those kinds of things I think
Speaker 1: are really interesting UM and is a way for you
Speaker 1: to get some good exercise as well as meet some
Speaker 1: new people. So check those out. And if you have
Speaker 1: other ideas, are things that you feel like I left
Speaker 1: off the list that would be helpful to other people
Speaker 1: than definitely UM send that to us in the hashtag
Speaker 1: TBG in session. So let's move on to how we
Speaker 1: can actually be a good friend. So once we kind
Speaker 1: of find these people or we already have friendships that
Speaker 1: have been developed, how do we actually maintain these friendships
Speaker 1: and be good friends to these people. So one of
Speaker 1: the first ways I think, and and a lot of
Speaker 1: this is also kind of um draped over the background
Speaker 1: of how big social media is in our lives, because
Speaker 1: one of the first things that I think we need
Speaker 1: to pay attention to is really making sure that we
Speaker 1: are recognizing the important achievements that happened in the lives
Speaker 1: of our friends. So I think it it's really easy
Speaker 1: when we're kind of keeping up with people on Facebook
Speaker 1: and Instagram to kind of see they got this new
Speaker 1: promotion or they just passed this exam for their career, um,
Speaker 1: and we like it, or we retweeted or we you know,
Speaker 1: hard it, um. And so it looks as if we're
Speaker 1: paying attention and you know your friend, you may think, oh,
Speaker 1: my friend knows that I'm paying attention to this, but
Speaker 1: it is actually much more meaningful to either send your
Speaker 1: friend a private message or text message or even phone call,
Speaker 1: um give that person a phone call to actually let
Speaker 1: them know that how proud you are of their achievement um,
Speaker 1: and to let them know that you're actually paying attention UM.
Speaker 1: So again, you know, it gets really easy and it
Speaker 1: seems like we're paying attention and um giving credit to
Speaker 1: our friends. But you know, when you get two hundred
Speaker 1: likes on something, it's really easy to kind of miss
Speaker 1: that you may have liked or um kind of giving
Speaker 1: me a thumbs up on whatever recent new thing is
Speaker 1: happening in my life. So for somebody who you call
Speaker 1: a friend, you know, trying to make that extra step
Speaker 1: and take the extra effort of actually sending a personal
Speaker 1: message or an email or even a card. Um. You know,
Speaker 1: good old snail meal sometimes goes a long way. So
Speaker 1: in the short term, you know, do those things, send
Speaker 1: an email, the text message, or a card. But then
Speaker 1: I think it's also important to kind of follow up
Speaker 1: with trying to get together with that person soon. So
Speaker 1: you know, somebody who just got a big promotion or something,
Speaker 1: that's a reason to celebrate. Somebody who just defended a
Speaker 1: dissertation or defendit a thesis, those are reasons to celebrate.
Speaker 1: So you know, in the short term. You can start
Speaker 1: with a text message, but definitely do try to plan
Speaker 1: to get together to you know, take them out for
Speaker 1: a drink or for a meal, um, as soon as
Speaker 1: you both are available to do that. I also think
Speaker 1: it's important to make standing dates UM that are non
Speaker 1: negotiable with your friends. So if you are lucky enough
Speaker 1: to have good friends who are close to you physically,
Speaker 1: then you know, can you make a weekly or bi
Speaker 1: weekly standing date to get together to watch one of
Speaker 1: your favorite shows, or have a dinner date or um,
Speaker 1: go for a walk around the park, whatever you decide.
Speaker 1: But those things need to be not negotiable. So if
Speaker 1: we're saying we're going to schedule this time, really there
Speaker 1: should not be anything besides emergencies that should come up
Speaker 1: to UM get you to take that off of your calendar.
Speaker 1: You know, we often make time for the things that
Speaker 1: are important to us, and so if our friends are important,
Speaker 1: and they should be if we're calling them friends, then
Speaker 1: make the time to connect with them and you know,
Speaker 1: trying to stay away from canceling that. Another point that
Speaker 1: is important to think about when we're thinking about how
Speaker 1: to be a good friend is learning how to cheer
Speaker 1: them on even when it's difficult. So I know we're
Speaker 1: kind of smack dab in the middle of wedding season,
Speaker 1: and you know, every day there are new engagements and
Speaker 1: babies being born. Um. And like we talked about um
Speaker 1: on the podcast with John that you heard last week. UM,
Speaker 1: you know, sometimes those situations can be really tough for
Speaker 1: us if that hasn't happened for us us and it's
Speaker 1: something that we desire. But I think it's important to
Speaker 1: learn how to cheer your friends on even when it
Speaker 1: is tough for you, So kind of pulling yourself out
Speaker 1: of the center and really being able to join with
Speaker 1: them in celebrating their moment so you can cry about
Speaker 1: it later and be sad and be upset, but you
Speaker 1: definitely should make an extreme effort to be there for
Speaker 1: your friend and really celebrate their milestones. Another issue that
Speaker 1: I think is important to address when we're talking about
Speaker 1: being a good friend is learning how to respond to
Speaker 1: our friends in the way that they need as opposed
Speaker 1: to what we would need in a situation. UM. You know,
Speaker 1: so if your friend is somebody who does a whole
Speaker 1: lot of processing and really just wants to talk things out, UM,
Speaker 1: you jumping in with a quick solution or a quick
Speaker 1: fix for the problem is probably not what they need,
Speaker 1: so they probably need some space and time to kind
Speaker 1: of talk through things before they want to get to
Speaker 1: the solution phase. If they even want to get to
Speaker 1: this solution phase. You know, sometimes it's helpful to just
Speaker 1: talk things through and then you kind of get to
Speaker 1: the answer that way. So I think it it is
Speaker 1: also good, UM for you to ask your friend, if
Speaker 1: they haven't already told you, to ask them, what do
Speaker 1: you need for me in this moment, so that you're
Speaker 1: making sure that you're providing the kind of support that
Speaker 1: they actually need and not just what you think you
Speaker 1: would like in a situation. And a final issue UM
Speaker 1: that I think often comes up related to friendships, UM
Speaker 1: is allowing friends to actually be good friends to us.
Speaker 1: So a lot of times I will hear from women
Speaker 1: that I work with, UM, I'm the person that everybody
Speaker 1: comes to, but I don't want to burden other people
Speaker 1: with my issues, And I just want us to kind
Speaker 1: of really stop and think about what we're saying when
Speaker 1: we say something like that, So people can come to
Speaker 1: me and I trust UM that I can help them,
Speaker 1: and I trust you know, they trust me with their
Speaker 1: secrets and trust me to help work through their issues.
Speaker 1: But then I don't want to get to reciprocate that.
Speaker 1: So in some ways, in subconscious and maybe even conscious ways,
Speaker 1: we are communicating that there is a lack of trust there,
Speaker 1: that you cannot trust that this person will be available
Speaker 1: to you and be able to help you in difficult
Speaker 1: situations in the same ways that you have been able
Speaker 1: to help them. So I think it's really important that
Speaker 1: to be a good friend, you also allow your friends
Speaker 1: to be good friends to you. So now that we've
Speaker 1: talked about how to be a good friend, I think
Speaker 1: we also have to look at what happens when the
Speaker 1: friendships are not so good. So, you know, we started
Speaker 1: this segment talking about um eleven ways that a good
Speaker 1: friendship is really healthy for you, but when a friendship
Speaker 1: is not so good, it can really be detrimental to
Speaker 1: your health. UM. So what happens when unfortunately, sometimes friendships
Speaker 1: have to end um or people are really not good
Speaker 1: friends to us? Um So some signs are things that
Speaker 1: you want to look out for related to when it
Speaker 1: may be time to end a friendship. UM. So, if
Speaker 1: the person is gossiping or spreading rumors about you, then
Speaker 1: I think you would really want to look at is
Speaker 1: this somebody that you need to continue to have in
Speaker 1: your life? Um? If the person can't ever really show
Speaker 1: up for you, So every time you have an achievement,
Speaker 1: or every time you get a promotion, every time you
Speaker 1: get a good grade on an exam, then they are
Speaker 1: trying to one up you. Um so they're always making
Speaker 1: attempts to downplay your accomplishments and never really giving you
Speaker 1: the credit. There is enough space in a relationship and
Speaker 1: a healthy relationship for everybody to have some shine. So
Speaker 1: if if your friend or the person that is you know,
Speaker 1: a so called friend, is always attempting to kind of
Speaker 1: block your shine, then again I think you would question
Speaker 1: is this somebody that I really need to have in
Speaker 1: my life? Um? If the person is possessive of you
Speaker 1: and has difficulty with you having other friends, um so,
Speaker 1: I think that this is a red flag. And a
Speaker 1: lot of the stuff that we've talked about today is
Speaker 1: completely applicable to a romantic relationship as well. Um, but
Speaker 1: you know a friend who doesn't want you to have
Speaker 1: other friends, or if you make friends make plans with
Speaker 1: another group of friends, they get really upset and don't
Speaker 1: want to talk to you for a week. I think
Speaker 1: you would question, you know, how healthy is this, um,
Speaker 1: you know, because the level of possessiveness really is a
Speaker 1: reflection of that person's difficulty having UM some maturity, UM,
Speaker 1: an emotional maturity about a relationship. And so I would
Speaker 1: just be very careful about any friends who feel like
Speaker 1: they have to be really possessive of you at the
Speaker 1: time that they have with you UM me. In. The
Speaker 1: final thing that I think is a is a pretty
Speaker 1: big red flag related to maybe a relationship or friendship
Speaker 1: needing to end is if the relationship is not reciprocal.
Speaker 1: So if you're always there for them, always cheering them on,
Speaker 1: you're standing outside of their dissertation defense with a you know,
Speaker 1: pom poms and um, you know, a new smoothie, our
Speaker 1: fresh smoothie, and they can't even show up, you know,
Speaker 1: for you for the littlest things. Then I think again
Speaker 1: you would question, is this somebody that I really need
Speaker 1: to have in our life in my life? UM. And
Speaker 1: you know, relationships aren't always fifty fifty, so sometimes there
Speaker 1: will be UM, you know, your friend could be going
Speaker 1: through something UM pretty big in their lives and that
Speaker 1: may require you to be there more for them in
Speaker 1: certain situations, but there will come a time when you
Speaker 1: will need that person to show up for you. And
Speaker 1: if it's always that they are not able to show
Speaker 1: up for you, then the relationship is not reciprocal. So
Speaker 1: you may have to look at um cutting your losses
Speaker 1: and ending that friendship. So we've talked about the benefits
Speaker 1: of healthy friendships, we've talked about how to find new friends,
Speaker 1: and we've also talked about recognizing some signs of when
Speaker 1: a friendship may need to end. So this is a
Speaker 1: perfect segue for our on the porch question this seek
Speaker 1: and this question asked how do you deal with toxic friends? So,
Speaker 1: once we've recognized um that a friendship may be toxic
Speaker 1: given the symptoms and signs we talked about before previously,
Speaker 1: one of the first things you want to do is
Speaker 1: to try to have a conversation with your friend. So
Speaker 1: I wouldn't say to cut off a friendship without at
Speaker 1: least trying to have a conversation about whether some of
Speaker 1: these things can be resolved. So you would want to
Speaker 1: talk with your friend about some of the things that
Speaker 1: you're seeing and how things are playing out between the
Speaker 1: two of you, and you may also want to suggest
Speaker 1: that your friend seek professional help with a therapist. UM.
Speaker 1: So the key to suggesting professional help with someone is
Speaker 1: to always focus on the behaviors that you've seen. So
Speaker 1: if you've noticed that your friend is always canceling plans,
Speaker 1: or if you notice that your friend is always asking
Speaker 1: you for something but they're not able to show up
Speaker 1: for you when you need them, that's what you will
Speaker 1: want to focus on. Focus on behaviors, do not focus
Speaker 1: on feelings. So make it more about the behaviors you've
Speaker 1: you've observed and less about how you feel like this
Speaker 1: person has made you feel. And if the person is
Speaker 1: open to therapy, then you may see some change in
Speaker 1: the relationship. It could be that they have issues that
Speaker 1: have not been addressed that you know they just needed
Speaker 1: someone to call to their attention and then they can
Speaker 1: take care of it. So that would be the first
Speaker 1: thing I would suggest is to try to have a
Speaker 1: conversation and to suggest professional help if necessary. If you
Speaker 1: do that and there is no change, UM, then it
Speaker 1: may be time to look at actually ending the relationship.
Speaker 1: So the one the first thing you want to keep
Speaker 1: in mind. If you decide to end a friendship is
Speaker 1: that you do not want to ghost this person. So
Speaker 1: you don't want to disappear, especially if this has been
Speaker 1: a longstanding friendship. You don't want to just kind of
Speaker 1: stop taking their calls and not responding to text messages.
Speaker 1: I do think that it is good to learn how
Speaker 1: to say goodbye to people, even if that means somebody's
Speaker 1: feelings will be hurt, and so it's important to end
Speaker 1: the in the relationship as honorably as possible. So I
Speaker 1: would suggest that, um, you don't go, but don't feel
Speaker 1: the need to explain a whole bunch. So you know,
Speaker 1: if you get into too much of explanation that likely
Speaker 1: will lead you down a very bad path in the
Speaker 1: conversation likely won't go anywhere. So UM, you want to
Speaker 1: be clear and to the point, and this may require
Speaker 1: you to prepare a script ahead of time if possible.
Speaker 1: So I wouldn't say to read off the script with
Speaker 1: this person, but you may want to think about very
Speaker 1: clearly and concisely what it is that you want to
Speaker 1: say to this person and your reasons for ending the relationship. Um,
Speaker 1: and again, try to remain factual and not emotional, so
Speaker 1: focus on the behaviors and the facts of what you've observed,
Speaker 1: and don't go too much into the emotion piece. Um.
Speaker 1: The other thing I think that you need to think
Speaker 1: about when this I think to end the friendship is
Speaker 1: to be mindful of not getting dragged into group drama. Um. So,
Speaker 1: you know, if you have mutual friends with this person
Speaker 1: and you decide to end the relationship, you should expect
Speaker 1: that the person will likely not go away quietly, right. Um, So,
Speaker 1: especially if this person is toxic, they will likely try
Speaker 1: to drag other people into the drama. And so you
Speaker 1: just want to be mindful of that to not get
Speaker 1: pulled into that. So I would be prepared to kind
Speaker 1: of have a one sentence statement for any mutual friends
Speaker 1: about the fact that you've decided to end the friendship
Speaker 1: and really just leave it at that, be very mindful
Speaker 1: of not kind of getting um pulled back into that,
Speaker 1: because then it defeats the purpose of actually ending their friendship.
Speaker 1: Right This person then is still wreaking havoc in your
Speaker 1: life and you're always talking about it, and mutual friends
Speaker 1: have gotten involved. So do your very best to kind
Speaker 1: of stay um out of the free of all of
Speaker 1: that and and really again prepare your statement and really
Speaker 1: just stick to I'm just that end the friendship, and
Speaker 1: that's all I would really prefer to say about that.
Speaker 1: So I hope that um answers your question and give
Speaker 1: you some insight about what you can do if you
Speaker 1: do decide that it is time to end the friendship
Speaker 1: with somebody who has been a toxic friend. If you
Speaker 1: have other questions and you want to get some feedback
Speaker 1: about them, please make sure to send them to me
Speaker 1: at podcast at Therapy for Black Girls dot com. So
Speaker 1: that's our episode for this week. I hope that you've
Speaker 1: enjoyed it and learned a lot. Please continue to share
