AMA: Boundaries,, Depth, and Self-Love in Relationships

Another AMA, and I love it! Today, Anastasia answers fan-questions about effort and healing in relationships, boundaries, and love. We use metaphors, talk philosophy, and get messy and complicated as we explore the human experience. These answers are contextual and not a substitute for therapy.
