The relationship between women is based on a complexity of feelings, thoughts, and behaviors. The mother-daughter bond has a powerful impact on women’s relationships. This relationship of dependence and nurturance, engulfment, power and control, is what gets re-activated in same sex relationships between women. This is where the nature of the mother-daughter bond can show itself in subtle, yet, powerful ways. Difficulties can arise when both parties in the relationship struggle to get their individual needs met.
Wednesday Night, May 18th joining CAN WE TALK FOR REAL, co-host Michelle E Brown and Teresa (Terry Boi) Jackson will be Bonnie Harrison well-known and dynamic Licensed Psychotherapist who frames her work around an African, and Indigenous Spiritualities Paradigm. The focus of her work is on healing what’s broken as a result of historical harm, childhood trauma, and ongoing socio-political stressors and wounding. She is known as a developer and facilitator of wellness-centered learning experiences for both women and men, and gender-diverse people of African descent. However, her training and healing models are designed to benefit members of various ethno-cultural groups.
Paradoxically, the needs one wants to be satisfied most-nurturance and dependence-become a struggle for power and control, often resulting in the thing most feared, abandonment and loss.Gaining a clearer understanding of same gender loving relationships between women, can be best accomplished by taking a look at our own mothers’ relationships with their mothers, and the portrait of their lives within an ethno-cultural, and bio-psychosocial context.
Bonnie will discuss the approaches she uses to better ensure self-healing and wellness in our communities. Her work is informed by her use of the technologies found in African and Indigenous Spiritualities, in combination with some western therapeutic interventions, and the creative arts.
