Depression and Self-Care, Accepting Love, and Building Stronger Relationships: July Mailbag
Dr. Rick and I open the mailbag and answer questions focused on strengthening our relationships. We explore how we can support friends and loved ones who are experiencing depression while also caring for ourselves, managing different levels of capacity within a relationship, maintaining self-worth and trust in the context of body image insecurities, and navigating the often tricky dynamics of a partner’s relationship with their ex. The episode closes with Rick and I sharing how we’ve handled repair in our parent/child relationship, and what we can do to manage anxieties about the future.
