Find unconditional positive regard in this discussion with me and Ayla Ault, Licensed Social Worker and Marriage and Family Therapy Candidate as we navigate the big world of therapy and how it can help you as an individual, couple and family. We discuss healing attachment styles, leveling up your relationship to get to that ooey gooey stage regardless of the length of your union, and Ayla gives an amazing tip at the end for a technique you can incorporate into your daily life for calming your body and mind.
Ayla also discusses when to seek therapy (not just in crisis!) and what the letters behind the therapist mean so you can seek a therapist who fits your personal goals and personality.
