Session 30: Red Flags in Relationships

<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 versions of ourselves.</p> <p>Every October we observe National Domestic Violence Awareness Month. In honor of this, today's episode focuses on red flags that may present themselves in new relationships that we should be paying attention to that may alert us that someone may be abusive. I also discussed the 6 different types of abuse that perpetrators engage in and provide feedback to a listener struggling with a possessive ex.</p> <p> </p> <p>Resources Mentioned</p> <p><a href= "http://www.caring-unlimited.org/what-is-domestic-violence/for-victims-and-survivors/is-my-relationship-abusive" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Red Flags to Consider When Beginning a New Relationship</a></p> <p><a href= "http://stoprelationshipabuse.org/educated/types-of-abuse/" target= "_blank" rel="noopener">Types of Abuse</a></p> <p><a href="https://drnataliejones.com/podcast-2/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">A Date with Darkness Podcast</a></p> <p> </p> <p>If you're looking for a therapist in your area, make sure to check out the Therapist directory at <a href= "http://www.therapyforblackgirls.com/directory" target="_blank" rel="noopener">therapyforblackgirls.com/directory</a>.</p> <p>If you are a therapist and would like to list your practice information in the directory, visit <a href= "http://www.therapyforblackgirls.com/beinglisted" target="_blank" rel="noopener">therapyforblackgirls.com/beinglisted</a>.</p> <p>To join the Therapy for Black Girls Thrive Tribe <a href= "http://www.therapyforblackgirls.com/tribe" target="_blank" rel= "noopener">therapyforblackgirls.com/tribe</a>.</p> <p>To join the conversation on social media, use the hashtag <strong>#TBGinSession</strong>.</p> <p>Please follow us:</p> <p>Twitter: <a href="http://www.twitter.com/therapy4bgirls" target= "_bla
