This week on ShrinkChicks, Emmalee and Jen are digging deeper into our childhood wounds and exploring how they may affect our friendships today. They start the episode by explaining the four different common core wounds to help you identify yours. Then, they share which core wound they each most identify with and how Jen's wound can trigger Emmalee's and vice versa. They discuss how we can work on noticing these wounds and changing our reactions, processing the grief from a friendship break-up or transition, relational vulnerability vs. non-relational vulnerability, and so much more! The episode ends with a Dear Em and Jen question asking them about their favorite therapeutic modality. Tune in to gain insight, awareness, and action!
