This episode dives into the crucial conversation, with our partners, about seeking therapy and possibly asking our them to come with us for one reason or another. For some, making the commitment to go to therapy and talking through that decision it with a loved one is easy. For others, this is vulnerable and scary. Communicating feelings and exposing the need for help might be excruciatingly difficult. Top that all off with asking a spouse to attend also. A spouse that may or may not be in the same spot of needing/wanting therapy.
It is my honor to introduce Emma Orthel, a true Idaho spud. She is a born and raised Idaho wife, mom, therapist, photographer, and lover of breakfast.
In this episode, she and I are diving into some of the intricacies of going to therapy and asking our spouses to participate. She gives us such great insight and so many tools to help. She also reminds us that although, "You DON'T have to go to therapy to take care of yourself." Therapy is an important option but Emma also implores us to also remember that the nitty gritty work of slowing down, taking care of our bodies, being mindful of others, and investing in our cherished relationships are also VERY important, therapy or not.
