Session 178: Taking Action & Taking Care of Ourselves

<p class="p1">The Therapy for Black Girls Podcast is a weekly conversation with Dr. Joy Harden Bradford, a licensed Psychologist in Atlanta, Georgia, about all things mental health, personal development, and all the small decisions we can make to become the best possible versions of ourselves.</p> <p class="p1">The last couple of months have been stressful to say the least and it feels like tension is mounting as we get closer to Election Day. To help try and make sense of what’s been happening, I’m joined today by my colleague and soror, Dr. Riana Elyse Anderson. Dr. Anderson and I discussed the impact the stress of the past couple of months has had on us, offered some perspective about why many of us may feel exhausted with the current political climate, and offers some tips on how to take care of ourselves so that we can keep going.</p> <p><strong>Support Our Sponsors</strong></p> <p>Make a plan to cast your vote and support voting rights at <a href="https://andstillivote.org/" target="_blank" rel= "noopener">andstillivote.org</a></p> <p class="p1">Get the original distilled non-alcoholic spirits delivered right to your door. <a href= "https://seedlipdrinks.com/us" target="_blank" rel= "noopener">https://seedlipdrinks.com/</a></p> <p class="p1">Grab a Quip toothbrush and get your first refill free at <a href="https://www.getquip.com/tbg" target="_blank" rel= "noopener">getquip.com/tbg</a></p> <p> </p> <p><strong>Where to Find Dr. Anderson</strong></p> <p><a href= "https://www.rianaelyse.com/">https://www.rianaelyse.com/</a></p> <p>Twitter: <a href="https://twitter.com/rianaelyse" target= "_blank" rel="noopener">@rianaelyse</a></p> <p class="p1">Instagram: <a href="https://instagram.com/rianaelyse" target="_blank" rel="noopener">@rianaelyse</a></p> <p class="p1">Is there a topic you'd like covered on the podcast?
