<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>This week's episode features Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist, Courtney Watson. Courtney and I discussed how respectability politics impacts Black women's and femmes' sexuality, how you can reclaim your sexual freedom, and discussed ways you can find like- minded individuals to affirm your sexuality.</p> <p><strong>Resources Mentioned</strong></p> <p><a href="http://amzn.to/2gNTXhd" target="_blank" rel= "noopener">You Can't Keep a Good Woman Down</a> (Walker)</p> <p><a href="https://www.blackpeoplekink.com/podcast-2/" target= "_blank" rel="noopener">Black People Kink Podcast</a></p> <p>American Association of Sexuality Educators, Counselors, & Therapists <a href="https://www.aasect.org/" target="_blank" rel= "noopener">aasect.org</a></p> <p> </p> <p><strong>Where to Find Courtney</strong></p> <p><a href="http://www.doorwaytherapeutics.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">doorwaytherapeutics.com</a></p> <p>Facebook: <a href="http://www.facebook.com/doorwaytherapeutics" target="_blank" rel="noopener">@doorwaytherapeutics</a></p> <p>Instagram: <a href= "http://www.instagram.com/doorwaytherapeutics" target="_blank" rel= "noopener">@doorwaytherapeutics</a></p> <p>Pinterest: <a href="https://www.pinterest.com/doorwaytherapy/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">@doorwaytherapy</a></p> <p>To receive Courtney's 21 Days of Affirmations to Boost Your Sexual Self Confidence, text "Sexual Confidence" to 44222</p> <p> </p> <p>If you're looking for a therapist in your area, check out the directory at <a href= "http://www.therapyforblackgirls.com/directory" target="_blank" rel="noopener">therapyforblackgirls.com/directory</a>.</p> <p>If you're a therapist and would like your information added to the directory, check out <a href= "http://www.the
