The contents of this poem may be haunting and are not meant for young audiences, those who have witnessed or have directly experienced forms of violence. Please be advised.

    Episode 18 - Part 2: 360 Degrees of Power & Pride

    Dr. Kecia and guest therapist Anthony Parham, continue their conversation from Part 1 and talk candidly about surviving, learning and thriving after divorce in Part 2. Here are 7 Questions to reflect on from the conversation: Are any of my red flags popping up for me as I engage with this other person? Am I projecting onto the other person and why? Why did the conversation go the way that it did and why (if at all) did I feel the need to defend myself?  Does that mean I am ready for dating or do I need to take a step back? Where are some of my shadow sides I need to look into? How am I reacting and responding to what is going on around me right now? Have I been taught to say “NO” and honor my “No”? How do I best utilize my time alone to heal? How do I take care of myself when there is so much out there that doesn’t want me to focus on my healing? These questions and more are discussed in this light-hearted and thought-provoking conversation for those who are dipping their toes back into the dating pool post-divorce.
