On this week's episode of ShrinkChicks, Emmalee and Jen cover the topic of being the partner, friend, family member, etc. with anxiety and the shame, guilt, and other emotions that can bring up. They noticed a theme with the listener questions that came in for this topic around the word "burden." Emmalee and Jen answer your questions about being a burden or too much when it comes to anxiety in your relationship and where that feeling may have originated. They discuss validating our own feelings, helping those who don't experience anxiety understand it, finding a balance between leaning on our partners for support and self-soothing, holding space for a partner's emotions when yours feel "more severe," responding vs. reacting, and so much more! Stay tuned until the end of the episode where Emmalee and Jen bring back their personal vs. professional segment re: seeing your therapist in public!
