In this episode of the Black Girls Heal podcast, I'm diving deep into how healing circles can transform your journey through love addiction recovery. After years of coaching women through attachment struggles, I've seen firsthand how creating the right community can accelerate healing in ways individual work simply can't.
We explore exactly how to build your own healing circle—from finding the right participants to establishing crucial ground rules that create safety for vulnerability. I share practical tips for structuring your meetings, developing a curriculum that promotes real growth, and navigating the inevitable conflicts that arise when people are doing deep healing work together.
In this episode, we cover…
- 02:35 - The sisterhood effect on healing
- 03:56 - How to create your own healing circle
- 09:16 - Setting your healing circle up for success
- 17:16 - Ground rules for safety
- 29:13 - Ways to structure your healing circle
