(Edinburgh, UK / June 12, 2025) – Dr. Lori Beth Bisbey joins host Nyomi Banks and resident therapist Dr. Will Washington for a powerful season finale episode of Ask Nyomi ‘Bridging the Gap’, “Breaking Generational Barriers: Navigating Mental Health & Relationships.”
In this moving conclusion to the podcast’s Love & Mental Health series, Dr. Bisbey, a clinical psychologist and intimacy coach with over 35 years of experience, shares insights on the lasting impact of generational trauma, family silence, and the cultural stigmas that continue to shape how we view vulnerability, identity and emotional safety in relationships.
“It was a true privilege to be part of this conversation,” said Dr. Bisbey. “Nyomi created a space where honesty could thrive, and together we unpacked some of the deeply rooted dynamics that too often go unspoken. When we begin to name the patterns we’ve inherited, we start to free ourselves—and that’s where real change begins.”
Dr. Bisbey’s appearance highlights the core mission of Ask Nyomi ‘Bridging the Gap’ – to bring honest, compassionate dialogue to the intersections of intimacy, identity and mental wellness. Created in partnership with Mental Health America, the series amplifies expert voices and lived experiences to support healing and emotional resilience.
