“You owe other people a duty of care.” - Gbemi Adekoya
In this episode, I speak with psychotherapist Gbemi Adekoya (@gbemisoke on X) to explore the complexities of trauma, healing, and personal responsibility in interpersonal relationships. I consider this essential Sweet Medicine listening because all social change begins with the individual and this is the one episode in this project that focuses exclusively on the individual. We discussed Nigeria as a metaphorical abusive parent, the necessity of acknowledging one's feelings and experiences as part of the healing process, the vitality of hope and agency, and what unconditional positive regard looks like in Gbemi’s psychotherapy practice. 🍲 02:54 Nigeria as an Abusive Parent 06:03 Hope and Agency in Healing 12:00 The Role of Unconditional Positive Regard 15:04 Navigating Personal Responsibility and Accountability 17:57 The Dilemma of Victimhood and Perpetration 23:46 Tools for Emotional Intelligence and Healthy Relationships 🍲 Website: sweetmedicine.me Newsletter: studiostyles.substack.com.
