Reconnecting to Your Authentic Self with Dr. Thema Bryant
About this episode
In the aftermath of stress, adversity and trauma people often fall into survival mode and become disconnected from their true authentic self.
Dr. Thema Bryant, a president elect of the American Psychological Assosication on how we become disconnected from our self and how to reconnect to it.
In this episode we will unpack some of the internal and external signs of disconnection and offer you some tools to empower you to journey home to yourself.
We also talk about reparenting. A term I dislike, a concept I endorse. Reparenting yourself means recognizing what you lost or what you didn't get as a child and beginning to give those things to yourself now.
