Session 71: Social Media & Mental Health

The Therapy for Black Girls Podcast is a weekly conversation with Dr. Joy Harden Bradford, a Licensed Psychologist in Atlanta, Georgia, about all things mental health, personal development, and all the small decisions we can make to become the best possible version of ourselves.

Today's episode features my conversation with Dr. Audrey Townsel, a Licensed Psychologist in Memphis, TN and my line sister. :) Dr. Townsel and I chatted about how social media platforms can impact our self esteem, why the comparisons we make between ourselves and others on social media aren’t entirely accurate, and she shared her favorite tips for helping you to have a healthier relationship with social media. 

Today's episode is sponsored by Session 59 Guest Therapist, Shena Tubbs of Black Girls Heal. Shena will be launching a 12 week program giving women practical and actionable skills coupled with coaching that you can use in your everyday life while healing and reprogramming negative self beliefs from traumatic wounds. To get more information about the program or to register for the Masterclass, visit therapyforblackgirls.com/bghmasterclass.
