Session 177: Black Women & Intimate Partner Violence

<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 version of ourselves.</p> <p class="p1">Today we’re digging into why there continues to be such a disparity in the way intimate partner violence is regarded when it involves Black women. Dr. Carolyn West joins us to discuss the role race plays in navigating intimate partner violence, the idea of the perfect victim, and suggestions for supporting women in your life who may be suffering abuse.</p> <p><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=1593664880963000&usg=AFQjCNHBW1o23ExOe-pgaTqnghXjBTf6pg">Amazon Store</a> for all the books mentioned on the podcast!</p> <p><a href="https://ujimacommunity.org/" target="_blank" rel= "noopener">The Ujima Community</a></p> <p> </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>Catch the Season 2 Premiere of Tyler Perry's Sistas on BET, October 14th at 9/8 central and use the hashtag #SistasOnBET while you watch. </p> <p class="p1">Get the best sleep of your life by going to <a href= "https://www.helixsleep.com/therapyforblackgirls" target="_blank" rel="noopener">helixsleep.com/therapyforblackgirls</a> to get up to 200 dollars off your mattress order and two free pillows.</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> </p> <p><strong>Where to Find Dr. West</strong></p> <p><a href="http://drca
