99 - FRIENDSHIPS - The connection between the Mother Wound & Female Friendships

Does the health of your Mum determine the health of your friendships? This week, in your #FreeTherapyFix, Louise and Stephanie explore how our early relationships with our mothers can impact our ability to form and maintain friendships with women later in life.  The pair dive into: 💫 How does the emotional inconsistency of your mother affect your social relationships with others? 💫 Exploring the psychology of the ‘girls girl’ and the ‘only friends with guy’s girl’  💫 Have you ever felt too much for your friends? 💫 Why some people isolate themselves from their friends in times of need 💫 And why it is never too late to find, work on or nurture your female friendships.  Louise & Stephanie also discuss Louise’s own personal experiences with ‘feeling too much’ in a friendship, and why she often wants to isolate. Stephanie drops some light bulb truths.  RECOMMENDED LISTENING: Ep. 89 - MOTHER WOUND/ MOMMY ISSUES: Pt.
