On this week's episode of ShrinkChicks, Emmalee and Jen are dedicating the full episode to answering multiple Dear Em & Jen questions! The first question is from a listener who is extremely frustrated with her current relationship dynamic. Her partner is not willing to do the work and she feels lost on how to reach him after trying for so long. They discuss defensiveness, the pursuer-withdrawer dynamic, and how our inner child's survival tactics can show up in our present relationships. Next, Emmalee and Jen answer a question about avoidant-attachment style. The listener is almost 30 and has never been in a relationship and wants to unpack why she fears closeness. She has incredible insight and awareness, so Em and Jen give her some action steps to take with her. Lastly, they tackle a question from a listener who doesn't like being in public with their partner. The listener is drained by their partner's social anxiety and isn't sure if this is a dealbreaker. They want to know what Em and Jen would do in their shoes and Em and Jen deliver just that! Tune in for some in-depth answers that can be applied to MANY different situations! PS: Fast forward to around 7:30 into their convo to skip the intro and get straight to today’s content.
