Ep 132. Why are friendship breakups even more dramatic than romantic ones, and how might they teach us about deeper patterns of behavior we may need to break? In this solo episode, I share my experience of losing close friendships, as well as how I’ve maintained and nurtured long-term, healthy relationships. I'm breaking down the #1 sign I look for in myself and others to know if there is capacity to be a “good friend,” why we often enter dynamics that recreate the one we shared with our mother until the dynamic becomes conscious, and why sometimes it “has to be dramatic” in order for the pattern to be witnessed and broken. Whether you're currently struggling with friendships or looking to deepen your existing relationships, I hope this episode will make you feel a whole lot less messy – and a lot more understood.
HERE'S THE JUICE
The number 1 sign of a healthy friendship
How to have both compassion & high standards for the relationships in your life
How to know if it’s just a mistake, or a repeated pattern of behavior
How to avoid friendship breakups in the future by looking for red flags in your OWN behavior, not theirs, when you’re around them
The importance of personal responsibility and how to develop this lens in conflict
How to grow together in a long term friendship without growing apart
How to create a relationship with yourself first to truly enjoy connection, rather than “fulfill a need”
The ways childhood wounds and "mother wounds" shape our friendship patterns
Why it's okay to be "choosy" about who you let into your inner circle
Why loneliness can actually be an unexpected medicine
