On this week's episode of ShrinkChicks, Emmalee and Jen are answering your questions about how to recognize your own patterns in your relationships. The episode starts off with some big news from Emmalee! Then, Em and Jen talk about the insight, awareness, and action needed in order to understand the patterns within your relationship. They discuss why we seek familiarity from our childhood in romantic relationships, the connection between childhood family dynamics and adult relationship patterns, the "spark" (is it real?), healthy love, fear of intimacy, the over-functioner/under-functioner dynamic in relationships, and so much more! Tune in to learn how to gain insight, awareness, and action for yourself! PS: Fast forward to around 11:05 to skip the intro and get straight to today’s content.
