Breaking Generational Barriers: Navigating Mental Health & Relationships

In this deeply moving finale of our Love & Mental Health series, host Nyomi Banks is joined by renowned psychologist Dr. Lori Beth Bisbee and resident therapist Dr. Will Washington for a profound discussion on generational trauma, family dynamics, and the urgent need to normalize mental health conversations. Together, we explore how unspoken family wounds impact love, vulnerability, and emotional safety in relationships today. From inherited silence to identity confusion, from cultural stigma to algorithm-driven stress—this episode doesn't shy away from the hard truths. Plus, we read a powerful listener letter about fear, family history, and the courage to break the cycle before having children. 🔔 Subscribe now and turn on your notifications to never miss a live taping or replay!🧠 This series was created in partnership with Mental Health America. 100% of all donations go toward providing life-saving mental health resources.
