Lady, were there things you were taught as a child that now as an adult you wonder why you believed it? Yep. Us too. Oh, wait. That’s not you? What about as an adult? There was nothing you have questioned? Still not you? So, no pyramid schemes? Certain religious beliefs? “Old wives tales”? Virginity/Hymen Testing? Today we invite you to listen with an open heart and mind as Terri and Dom provide us with an opportunity to reflect on what we have learned and question the messaging we have held to be true. What do I believe? Why do I believe it? In this episode, Dom and Terri explore why some of these myths or “lessons” came into being and how the messaging may have harmful lasting psychological effects. “As life continues to evolve how we address situations need to evolve as well.” -Dr. Dom Quote of the Day: “Unlearn.” -John Singleton Takeaways: Do your own research Ask questions Previous episodes that address healing from some of the myths and messaging: S2E1: Let's Talk About Sex with Eliza Boquin S3E12: Healing Intergenerational Trauma with Dr. Thema Bryant-Davis S3E13: Who Taught Us to Deny Our Sensuality? with Free the Cheeks Founders Breezy and Bobbi S4E3: The Burden of Fibroids for Black Women with Dr. Joy Cooper Resources: Melanin and Mental Health Therapy for Black Girls Psychology Today Therapy for QPOC Where to find us: Twitter: @HERspacepodcast Instagram: @herspacepodcast Facebook: @herspacepodcast Website: herspacepodcast.com Email: [email protected] H.E.R Space Sanctuary: https://www.facebook.com/groups/herspacesanctuary/ See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/cultivating-h-e-r-space-uplifting-conversations-for-the-black-woman--5470036/support.
