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.  In this week's episode, I am joined by Cha’Ke’Sha Spencer, LPC, CPCS. Cha'Ke'Sha and I discussed how experiences can be traumatic even when we don’t think they are, some of the common symptoms of trauma, how working with a therapist can help manage trauma, and she shared her favorite resources.   Resources Mentioned Visit our Amazon Store for all the books mentioned on the podcast!   Support Our Sponsor Shop Naturalicious at sallybeauty.com and save 10% by using the promo code 555555 at checkout.    Check Out Our Retreat Sponsors   Kelly & Miranda The Gottman Institute Thinkific To get updates about the next retreat, sign up here.    Where to Find Cha'Ke'Sha http://graceanthonycounseling.com/ Facebook: @graceanthonycounseling Instagram: @graceanthonycounseling Twitter: @chakeshaspencer   If you're looking for a therapist in your area, check out the directory at https://www.therapyforblackgirls.com/directory.
