On part 2 of this episode, I have the pleasure of speaking with licensed clinical psychologist Dr. Ayanna Abrams. Dr. Abrams is the CEO/Founder of Ascension Behavioral Health and co-founder of Not So Strong, an initiative to improve the mental health and relationship functioning of Black women through use of vulnerable storytelling. Her specialties include racism based trauma, mood disorder treatment, burnout prevention and helping people create and recreate healthy romantic, career and familial relationships. She has extensive clinical and research experience working with Black people across the Diaspora and has been featured as a speaker or contributing writer in the New York Times, Essence, WeWork, Vice and Allure magazines, Therapy for Black Girls and Silence the Shame. She is also a contributing author to the forthcoming book, Emotionally Focused Therapy for African American Couples: Love Heals, to be published by Routledge in Fall 2021.
In this episode we discuss:
+ The “strong black woman” narrative
+ What grief can manifest in your romantic relationship
+ Why it is important to go to therapy before you are in crisis
+ How therapy can help in your grieving process
