Today on ShrinkChicks, we are taking a break from a new episode to spend the holidays practicing what we preach, but didn't want to leave you all hanging! So we're re-releasing our most popular episode from this time last year: How to Set Boundaries with Your Mother-in-Law & More! In this episode, Emmalee and Jen dive into the topic of family dynamics and boundaries and how to navigate them during the Holiday season. Specifically, they discuss the difference of dynamics in our family of origin vs. our in-laws/partner's family, the transition out of our family of origin, expectation setting, and family traditions and rules that may be different from what we’re used to. Emmalee and Jen finish the episode with some tangible examples of boundary setting by doing a role play. Hint: Jen is the mother-in-law. Tune in to gain insight, awareness, and action!
