Welcome to the first ever episode of Friendship Therapy, a brand new podcast where psychotherapist, author and podcaster Emma Reed Turrell looks at your friendship experiences through a therapy lens.   This week, Emma speaks to best friends for 25 years, Janine and Julia.   Describing their personalities as ‘yin and yang’, these two women were thrown together in the school playground, becoming friends by default rather than design. In the years that followed, they worked to grow and nurture a deeply meaningful, complex friendship that has seen them through some of the most challenging and joyful moments in their lives.   From school sleepover dramas and Sunday night phone calls after Dawson’s Creek, to relationship breakdowns, motherhood and changing priorities, Janine and Julia have remained the constant in each other’s lives for more than two decades.   In this very special debut episode, Emma explores the evolution of Janine and Julia’s friendship over the decades, the roles that these two friends filled for each other, and the enduring power of unconditional love, acceptance and consistency in friendship.   If you’d like to apply to appear on the podcast in season two, please click the link below:    https://forms.gle/owsfs6DVxVdTMFo46   --- Friendship Therapy is hosted by Emma Reed Turrell, produced by Chris Sharp and Lauren Brook. ---  Social media:   Emma Reed Turrell @emmareedturrell Friendship Therapy @friendshiptherapypod Email: [email protected]
