This week on ShrinkChicks, Emmalee and Jen are covering a highly requested topic: confrontation and how to get more comfortable with it! They start by normalizing how challenging confrontation can be. They share questions to ask yourself like what does confrontation mean to you and what does it look like for you, historically? Then they answer your questions about why confrontation can be so scary, what to do if you freeze or blackout during a confrontation, different ways to approach confrontation, how to decipher between when to confront and when to let it go, and why assertive people can be harder to confront. Emmalee and Jen share strategies for confrontation, remind you that it's okay to cry, and give you direct tips on how to bring up something that you've been putting off for a long time. The episode concludes with a Dear Em & Jen about "therapizing" your partner. Tune in to gain insight, awareness, and action!
