#276: Have you ever felt like you need to be “fixed” before you can let others in?

In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Thema Bryant—psychologist, author, minister, and host of the Homecoming podcast—for a soulful conversation on healing relationships, starting with the most important one: your relationship with yourself.

Dr. Bryant shares how self-isolation can hold you back from growth and offers insights on how opening up to others is key to feeling truly healed.

  • The balancing act of the healing process
  • The hidden risks of self-isolation
  • How to spot toxic patterns in romantic relationships
  • How emotional dependency can affect your friendships
  • How to identify what your relationship patterns for growth
