Navigating Relationships

In episode 4, we get real about relationships. We dive into how our relationships can impact our mental health and well being, and vice versa.

We cover:
The impact of toxic relationships on our mental health and what this may look like, and this can go for any relationship (relative, romantic, friendships, colleague, etc.)
Conflict through miscommunications - peoples’ attachment styles and love languages may not always match
How to take accountability and responsibility in making your needs and wants out of that relationship known to the other person, and vice versa
How to handle those tough conversations - telling a partner or friend that you have a mental health issue or illness
Lastly, educating your loved ones on your mental health struggles
