Welcome to the Therapy for Black Girls Podcast, where we focus on all things mental health,

personal development, and all the small decisions we can make to become the best possible versions

of ourselves.

I'm your host, Dr. Joy Harden Bradford, a licensed psychologist in Atlanta, Georgia.

And while I hope you love listening to and learning from the podcast, it is not meant

to be a substitute for a relationship with a licensed mental health professional.

Hey y'all, welcome to session 7 of the Therapy for Black Girls Podcast.

Thank you so much for joining me again this week.

So as I mentioned before, May is mental health awareness month.

And in honor of this, all month long, we'll be discussing relationships.

So last week, we discussed friendships.

And this week, in honor of Mother's Day coming up this weekend, we'll be discussing relationships

with mom.

So I want to also make sure that I say a very happy Mother's Day to all the moms out there.

And once I make sure to send a special healing and positive thoughts to those who may be struggling

with grief related to losing mom, are struggling with a strained relationship with your mom.

So today, I have a very special guest joining me for the no copayne needed segment.

And we're going to be talking about strained mother daughter relationships.

So today, we are joined by Dr. Pamela Thompson.

She is a psychologist, professional life coach, speaker, and owner of building bridges

to better lives.
