Since I been listening to you and reading the book, I thank you for your work and Love❤ It's given me confidence in continually to tell my story. Being a mother of 5 by 18 and losing 7 of children. I have done so much healing at 44 today. It's my job to help others heal. I come from a very large Family from Mississippi from to Detroit, MI in the 60's. I believe I have done well thus far with healing, with no help beside the most high.
Thank you Dr. DeGruy for doing your work, sharing your knowledge and taking time to discuss all issues. I believe that we connecting & communication is paramount! Thank you!
My Grandmother used to write me letters for my birthday. From a young child seeing a letter addressing me as "Master Daniel" had such a strong impact on my self esteem and feeling of being loved.
Thank you , needed this and will share... 2020 made a disconnect with our human connection that eye have never experienced... you said.. LOVE BIGGER, embrace, tell your story, take risks to connect with others..resonates as that is it..love light
A hidden treasure that I stumbled upon several months ago. I enjoyed Post Traumatic Slave series. I've shared them with many. I would love to attend one of your conferences. 😊😊😊
YES, YOU ARE 100% CORRECT. I AM NOT YELLING. I JUST TEXT LIKE I WRITE IN ALL CAPS. BECAUSE I HAVE FAMILY THAT ARE VISUALLY IMPARED. " DYSLEXIC". THE CAPS ARE EASIER FOR THEM TO READ. I HELPED THEM WITH THIS WHEN WE WERE ALL IN MIDDLE SCHOOL. MUCH LOVE.
I'm so happy I found your channel. I didn't like having to watch you on everyone else's platforms. New subscriber here. Looking forward to listening to the knowledge that you share.
Dr Joy. You're one of my heroes. Along with my Mother Rest her soul. Dr Maya Angelou, Oprah, Iyanla Vanzant. Angela Basset, Mary J Blige. Denzel Washington, Spike Lee, Nelson Mandela. Dr Martin Luther King. There are others. Thank you for your tireless work. I have 2 children. A daughter who is of mixed heritage. And a son who is darker. He's a black boy. I am worried for my son. To think what he will have to go through being a black boy in this country. It's unfortunate that so many of our children don't have their fathers in their lives. And it's hard being a single parent. I pray that because of your work and others, we as people of colour can move forward with love, grace and courage. I pray for healing in our communities. Change has got to come. I love writing and art. I find that art really helps with my mental health. Being in nature helps so much. God bless you Dr Joy and your family.
Peace and Blessings. I am truly glad that you are sharing your therapeutic knowledge. I am dealing with those issues you mentioned. I would truly like to share my story. Peace and Blessings 🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿
I needed this discussion because I'm truly out of sorts right now. I'd love to know how you'd recommend me telling my therapist to read your book. Had a virtual therapy session only for my very nice Whyte well meaning therapist to misread my Rage & anger, in this moment in history as maladaptive.
This is why I see my husband as my best friend and therapist not only is he older than me and his life experience very Vass but he's a straight shooter he calls it for what it is and he knows how I feel because he is a black man who has fought in the War who has buried family members Among thoses family members his mom and been ostracized by his family he's the one that recommended me trying therapy for the first time and of course I got the little young white girl who did not know half of the issues I was dealing with but some of them she did I learned what I could from her and I've still been pouring my heart out to my husband because in my opinion he is qualified! And I'm learning so much and healing so much
Honestly, if you could find a therapist of color that be your best option. They can have empathy but you need somebody that speaks your language. I'm sorry for your experience, I hope you're doing well.
Ok who on here is here to hear the Dr talk about her new book and when it's coming out? LoL! auntie Dr Joy......where is the new book!? I have mentioned your book to EVERYBODY that would listen to me about the AA PTSD.
