A step-by-step guide to overcoming the fear and shame that prevent you from living a free and true life. People typically go into survival mode after experiencing stress, disappointment, or trauma, even when a portion of them yearns for more. They are kept busy but not cured by juggling various demands and duties. Dr. Thema Bryant understands the work involved in healing as a survivor of sexual assault, prejudice, and fleeing a civil war in Liberia. Dr. Thema tells you how to reconnect with your genuine self and reclaim your time, voice, and life as a professional psychologist and ordained priest who has done the journey herself. People-pleasing, melancholy, anxiety, and resentment are all symptoms of separation from oneself. Healing begins with acknowledging and expressing feelings honestly, as well as reconnecting with neglected areas of yourself, but it cannot be accomplished in a vacuum. Dr. Thema equips you with the tools to connect meaningfully with your greater community, even if you are dealing with racism and sexism, heartbreak, grief, and trauma. Rather than shrinking in the face of life's challenges, Homecoming will teach you therapeutic approaches and spiritual practises to live a more expanded life marked by empowerment, healthier relationships, gratitude, and a greater sense of purpose.
