Session 125: Maintaining Freedom While in Relationships

<p class="m_1219530088050344695gmail-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 version of ourselves.</p> <p class="m_1219530088050344695gmail-p1">Last week on our social media channels we posted a community member’s question about struggling with the idea of losing some of your freedom to be in a relationship and it sparked an incredible conversation so of course we had to bring it to the podcast to chat about it further. For this conversation I was joined by Dr. Maria Dominguez, LMFT, also known as Dr. D. Dr. D and I chatted about what it looks like to explore this idea of freedom while in relationships, how you can begin to define what freedom looks like to you, conversations to have while dating that help you gain clarity about this, and establishing a culture in your relationship that can support the many changes you and your partner are likely to experience.<span class= "m_1219530088050344695gmail-Apple-converted-space"> </span></p> <p class= "m_1219530088050344695m_-5012696459508547789gmail-m_-5441477353180241163m_-7453728591246253830m_-1823726546849040104m_7719760002007023368m_7323713646118664026m_-8442315010934578452m_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 class= "m_1219530088050344695m_-5012696459508547789gmail-m_-5441477353180241163m_-7453728591246253830m_-1823726546849040104m_7719760002007023368m_7323713646118664026m_-8442315010934578452m_7473884746968037091m_4389891325677105415m_2044330060402948811m_-8265724341902323432m_5143095079110963727m_-3944084523831432707m_-9011
