  • Joy Meets Pain with Dr. Dorcas Matowe - Coming October 16th

    Welcome to the Joy Meets Pain podcast. I'm your host, Doctor Dorcas Matowe, a family therapist who has worked with children, couples, individuals, and families for decades.

    I cannot tell you how many times I've heard people say my family is the worst, or I'm too embarrassed to talk about my family, or no family is like mine.

    Well guess what, listeners? All families have 'ishness'. foolishness, happiness, shadiness, loneliness, forgiveness, hopefulness, goodness and the list goes on.

    If you come from a family and are trying to navigate your family relationships, then welcome. I look forward to meeting you on October 16.
