Homecoming

Overcome Fear and Trauma to Reclaim Your Whole, Authentic Self

De: Thema Bryant Ph.D.

Narrado por: Thema Bryant Ph.D., Ina King

A road map for dismantling the fear and shame that keep you from living a free and authentic life.

In the aftermath of stress, disappointment, and trauma, people often fall into survival mode, even while a part of them longs for more. Juggling multiple demands and responsibilities keeps them busy, but not healed. As a survivor of sexual assault, racism, and evacuation from a civil war in Liberia, Dr. Thema Bryant knows intimately the work involved in healing. Having made the journey herself, in addition to guiding others as a clinical psychologist and ordained minister, Dr. Thema shows you how to reconnect with your authentic self and reclaim your time, your voice, your life.

Signs of disconnection from self can take many forms, including people-pleasing, depression, anxiety, and resentment. Healing starts with recognizing and expressing emotions in an honest way and reconnecting with the neglected parts of yourself, but it can’t be done in a vacuum. Dr. Thema gives you the tools to meaningfully connect with your larger community, even if you face racism and sexism, heartbreak, grief, and trauma. Rather than shrinking in the face of life’s difficulties, you will discover in Homecoming the therapeutic approaches and spiritual practices to live a more expansive life characterized by empowerment, healthier relationships, gratitude, and a deeper sense of purpose.

Good book

This book was great! It is a great starting point for healing. I took notes and went back to listen to certain parts more than once. At times throughout this book emotions may run high and you may become triggered, but her voice is soothing and has a calming effect. I would recommend this title.

Great Book

Dr. Thema curated a book that speaks directly to your heart and gives you tools to do the work. I have listened to this book two times. It serves as a reminder and compass to my journey home when I feel off course.

moved to tears

there is so much to say buy I will just go with amazing! it was like listening to a good friend who also happens to be your therapist help you get your life right.

Made me cry while remembering trauma

I didn’t except to cry as a man but It just happened when she was talking about childhood trauma which I thought I had addressed. I so thankful because this brought some awareness on what I needed to work on. Thank you Dr. Thema Bryant and God bless you in Jesus name Amen

Amazing!!

Dr. Thema Bryant is a gift! Her insights, wisdom, & clarity woven into stories from her own life, science-based information, & examples from her clinical work within a cultural & spiritual context are exceptional! Welcome Home indeed ❤️

Great content but poor reading performance

The overall message of the book is great, relatable, and full of wisdom. Unfortunately the author uses a robotic like tone while reading the book. I can’t listen for too long at once because it’s really difficult to get past it and enjoy the content. It’s really too bad because otherwise I would have loved it. But performance matters for an audio book.

Easy to listen, deep and thorough

Thema Bryant combines her soul, heart, life experience and knowledge to put this work together. As a black clinical psychologist, she is truly aware about the context and challenge of psychological problems that are not just stemming from individual brain or mind. It is part of a system. Homecoming invites us to be aware of that and claim our space. Each word is well curated. Her voice is really soothing and her tone is firm and powerful. Listening to this is empowering. I love the last part where she talks about oppression and the different approach in psychology. This book is full of compassion. Recognizing trauma and claiming authenticity, at the same time and place.

Marvelous!

After listening to Dr. Thema Bryant’s podcast I decided to buy the book and I was not disappointed. I was hoping and then delighted when I found out she was the narrator.

I like the examples she gave throughout the book that were very relatable. I love how she “invites” you into certain practices within the book without being pushy.

I bought the physical book as well so I plan to read it again. I feel as though it is a resource I could use forever and not something I have to necessarily read in order. Very good book!

Therapy in book form

This was everything I needed and Im sure this will change or help anyone who reads this! Her voice is so calming, this book feels like a reassuring hug + love.

life changing

This is a book I will come back to over and over again. I felt powerful, vulnerable, and calm while listening to this beautiful book.
