Join us with Dr. Thema Bryant as we dig in deeper into trauma healing & her latest book, Homecoming: Overcome Fear and Trauma to Reclaim Your Whole, Authentic Self → tinyurl.com/homecomingbooklink!

She’s a professor at Pepperdine University, incoming American Psychological Association President-Elect, minister with her master’s of divinity, & an ordained elder in the African Methodist Episcopal Church. She directs the mental health ministry at First AME Church in South Los Angeles. She’s also a mother & a sacred artist who utilizes the arts such as spoken word & dance! Watch this real & raw interview full of truth & revelation about coming home to yourself with God on the journey. At the end, Dr. Thema leads us into a Practical Pause that will get you dancing in your seat! Join the dance with us & wake up your child-like joy!

Join the conversation with us as we discuss how trauma affects our whole selves & ways we relate to others. We vulnerably share how God teaches us to receive deeper healing when we let Him & others into it (even if we don’t know what “it” is). We talk about how emotions were our first language before we learned words & sometimes God wants to do heart healing in you that impacts your soul beyond words.
