Have you ever had a rift with a friend, and you weren't sure how to move past it? This happened to Katie and Jessica, and led them to friendship counseling. They share how they got to that point and how the counselor helped them discuss their feelings. They were able to break down the barrier that had built up between them and get back to being friends, with more self-awareness and a better understanding of each others needs.
We also get a mental health update from Jessica. Last fall we did a deep dive into her most recent generalized anxiety episode. Now she shares about her new treatment plan and the improvements she's seen in the last few months.
