In this episode of EhMaGawd, Lisi and Ellen break down why reconnecting with old friends (and often family members) makes us regress. Old insecurities pop up, we slip into roles we thought we had outgrown, and the work we did in therapy feels meaningless. Learn why this happens and how to keep it from happening again. It’s no coincidence that this is the central theme of the new Clique novel, State of the Reunion. It’s that deep.

Digressions include: Undiagnosed mental disorders, and a new form of friend therapy that doesn’t exist, but should. Also, a newly single GLU gets advice on how to move forward after an eight-year relationship.
