We dive into the complexities of accountability in all relationships.  Some Takeaways from this Episode: ✨Recurring Themes in Society: Many of the topics addressed in the show are themes that have come up repeatedly within therapeutic spaces, reflecting collective societal trends and healing journeys indicating a widespread desire to evolve past self-abandonment and the cultivation of healthier relationships ✨Staying Authentic: The importance of staying true to your beliefs and message, even when it may not resonate with everyone, to remain authentic to Self ✨ Personal Accountability: Consider how you may be self-abandoning or using relationships as a means to avoid addressing something you may need to work through, and how deeper self-examination will naturally lead to more authentic relationships ✨Complexity and Nuance in Human Behavior: Not simplifying complex human behaviors into labels (like narcissist), and instead take a compassionate and curious approach to understanding others’ actions, promoting dialogue that embraces the full complexity of human experiences and interactions 🎙 This podcast is definitely Cheaper than Therapy Check out our newly launched online community, Cheaper Than Therapy the Community.
