Togetherness Separateness
Show Notes
This week the therapists dish about the fine balance between togetherness and separateness.
Iona struggles with both her teenage daughter’s and husband’s growing up and away from her while in the past, Pam, the introvert, has struggled with Eric’s need for more togetherness and more recently, his needs for separateness.
The therapists then dive on some useful literature to help us understand and navigate this precarious balance, with the ultimate goal of improving our connection by communicating our needs and feelings to our partner.
