Session 113: Recognizing & Managing Trauma

<p>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 version of ourselves. </p> <p class="gmail-p1">In this week's episode, I am joined by Cha’Ke’Sha Spencer, LPC, CPCS. Cha'Ke'Sha and I discussed how experiences can be traumatic even when we don’t think they are, some of the common symptoms of trauma, how working with a therapist can help manage trauma, and she shared her favorite resources.</p> <p class= "m_7473884746968037091m_4389891325677105415m_2044330060402948811m_-8265724341902323432m_5143095079110963727m_-3944084523831432707m_-9011699845158260665gmail-m_5483735905903210246m_6013305485740782004gmail-m_-3896601539616452569gmail-m_-4346157578551606358gmail-m_-6461207518767153940gmail-m_5781669205498897623gmail-p1">  </p> <p class= "m_7473884746968037091m_4389891325677105415m_2044330060402948811m_-8265724341902323432m_5143095079110963727m_-3944084523831432707m_-9011699845158260665gmail-m_5483735905903210246m_6013305485740782004gmail-m_-3896601539616452569gmail-m_-4346157578551606358gmail-m_-6461207518767153940gmail-m_5781669205498897623gmail-p1"> <strong>Resources Mentioned</strong></p> <p>Visit our <a href= "https://www.amazon.com/shop/therapy4bgirls" target="_blank" rel= "noopener" data-saferedirecturl= "https://www.google.com/url?q=https://www.amazon.com/shop/therapy4bgirls&source=gmail&ust=1561606233285000&usg=AFQjCNF4jcqSrOLRnWtuY-hYfOqj4nUzAw">Amazon Store</a> for all the books mentioned on the podcast!</p> <p> </p> <p><strong>Support Our Sponsor</strong></p> <p>Shop Naturalicious at <a href="http://sallybeauty.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-saferedirecturl= "https://www.google.com/url?q=http://sallybeauty.com&source=gmail&ust=1561606233285000&usg=AFQjCNH3prjJ-jaq-HG0dlZ2ysAEsmg7xQ">sallybeauty.com</a> and save 10% by using the promo code 555555 at checkout. </p> <p class= "m_74738847469
