Heal Past Wounds, Set Boundaries, and Embrace Healthy Vulnerability in Modern Dating

Dr. J discusses balancing independence and vulnerability in dating, emphasizing the need to work through past relationship losses before entering new ones. He advises seeking support from friends, professional counseling, or starting a support group. For healing childhood wounds affecting adult relationships, Dr. J suggests identifying issues and finding support, either through professional help or self-formed groups. He differentiates between normal relationship conflicts and toxic patterns, urging early boundary setting to avoid emotional abuse. Lastly, he addresses the possibility of being friends with exes, suggesting it's possible if there's no unfinished business and both parties agree.

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
