Session 399: TBG Archive, Maintaining Freedom While in Relationships

Relationships and freedom—can they truly coexist? This episode from our archives revisits a powerful discussion sparked by a question from our community: How do you navigate the idea of losing some of your freedom in a relationship?  In this episode, I’m joined by Dr. Maria Dominguez, LMFT, also known as Dr. D. Together, we unpack what it means to navigate freedom in relationships, how to define what freedom looks like for you, and the key conversations to have while dating that can provide clarity. We also explore how to build a relationship culture that evolves with the many changes you and your partner will experience over time. About the Podcast The Therapy for Black Girls Podcast is a weekly conversation with Dr. Joy Harden Bradford, a licensed Psychologist in Atlanta, Georgia, about all things mental health, personal development, and all the small decisions we can make to become the best possible versions of ourselves.
