Hey everyone! In this Live episode, I, a licensed marriage and family therapist, and my daughter answer your questions and discuss the recent controversy surrounding the movie/novel 'This Ends With Us' and its portrayal of DV.
We'll also discuss the elements of cognitive dissonance, love bombing, trauma bonding, and the emotional immaturity that plays a big part in the storyline and how these elements so often show up in our own unhealthy relationships.
Thanks so much for stopping by! Please remember, you deserve peace within yourself and your relationship, so settle for nothing less!
