Does the traditional model for relationship feel limiting to you?
Do you feel like you constantly have to compromise your authenticity to avoid conflict with your partner?
We have, and we’re learning that it doesn’t have to be that way.
In this episode we’re talking with psychotherapists Alyson Schwabe Lanier and Reuvain Bacal, relationship experts and specialists in women’s and men’s issues. They let us in on something the therapists call ‘differentiation’ and what we think of as ‘the opposite of a shitty relationship.’
Listen as we learn what it looks like to lack differentiation and learn some techniques for how to get to a healthier relationship.
