May 19, 2020 Repair and Repair Again
In this episode, Libby talks about repair, how essential it is to having secure relationships, and outlines the steps for how to make a good repair.
*From Libby: to my listeners who have been following this podcast for awhile, this is to replace the episode "If You Break if, Fix It" - which was pulled, because it didn't say what I wanted it to say. I'm much much happier with this version, which is VERY different.
