The Psychology of Healthy Relationships | Dr Thema Bryant

The Psychology of Healthy Relationships | Dr Thema Bryant

What happens to the rest of your relationships when the one you have with yourself goes untended?

Dr. Thema Bryant is a clinical psychologist, tenured professor of psychology at Pepperdine University, director of the Culture and Trauma Research Laboratory, and former president of the American Psychological Association. She hosts The Homecoming Podcast and wrote Matters of the Heart: Healing Your Relationship with Yourself and Those You Love.

Her starting point is a finding she keeps returning to. One of the biggest predictors of your mental state is not your achievement or your bank account. It is the people you spend your time with.

Thema and Mike get into her working definition of trauma, the difference between guilt and shame, and why so much people pleasing begins as a strategy for staying safe. Thema talks about being evacuated from Liberia as a teenager during a civil war, and the shift in her own identity after her mother died last year.

This conversation is also for the person doing well by every external measure who sees no reason to do any of this work. It is not that you need to, Thema says. It’s that you deserve to.

Asked how we would lead if we knew what she knows, Thema’s answer was that you would not leave yourself behind.

Enjoy the conversation.
