S3 E4 : Learning what healthy dependence in relationships looks like with Liz Polinsky

Dependence is a dirty word in our society. Independence is the “goal”. But what if it’s not? What if that very way of thinking is the thing that keeps us from having healthy attachments and connection in our relationships? My guest, Liz Polinsky, comes on today to help us see that HEALTHY dependence should be our goal in relationships. And better yet, she shares tips on HOW we can take small steps toward achieving that! What a gift we have in Liz’s invaluable expertise in couples work.
