In Her Words: A Speaker Series with Dr. Rebecca Gras

So many of us learned, long before we realized it, how to attune to everyone else’s needs while quietly setting our own aside. We became the emotional holders — showing up fully for the people we love, while slowly losing touch with our own inner experience. It’s a pattern shaped by our earliest experiences of what it took to feel safe and connected. And over time, it can leave us living from fear rather than choice. But what if caring for yourself wasn’t the opposite of caring for others? What if it was actually the foundation that makes deeper, more authentic connection possible? In Her Words is a conversation between Rabbi Saroken and psychologist Dr. Rebecca Gras — founder of Laurel & Oak Psychological Services and host of the Dr. Boundaries podcast. Drawing from over two decades of clinical work, Dr. Gras guides us through recognizing the survival-based patterns running the show and building self-honoring practices that allow us to show up from a grounded, intentional place. Because caring for yourself is not selfish. It is the very thing that allows love to flourish. Come ready for a conversation that just might change the way you see yourself.
