Episode #24: We Didn’t Talk For 20 Years Due To A Mutual Therapist

TITLE

We Didn’t Talk For 20 Years Due To A Mutual Therapist

GUEST

Laura Carr, LMFT

EPISODE OVERVIEW

Laura Carr, LMFT and I were best friends. We broke up and didn’t talk for 20 years due to a mutual therapist. We talk about friendship trauma and the grief associated with it. I gave Laura an ultimatum, and so did the therapist. We talk about how this impacted us, and the powerful repair work we have done since we reconnected. The importance of owning our mistakes, and how we rebuilt trust and established safety. The power of naming things, and HOW we practice open, vulnerable communication. I also talk at the end about the therapist that was a big part of this.

HIGHLIGHTS

We experience a tremendous amount of friendship trauma, but we don’t learn how to process it, so the grief and hurt gets buried, but makes it more challenging in subsequent relationships because we haven’t been taught how to process this type of trauma

We really need to own our mistakes when we make them. There is incredible power and healing when we apologize sincerely and work to make living amends. It builds trust and safety in a relationship.

Friendships have seasons, and sometimes friendships are good through certain times of our lives, but they are not meant to last forever.

When we focus on rules and not on the relationship, there is no flexibility or ability to work through conflict.

How do you develop trust? It takes time, and even though one can apologize, it’s laying a foundation of behaviors that back up the words to develop trust. It takes time, and it has to be earned.

The power in naming things and having depth in a relationship where we can tell the truth from a place of love, and how it brings more depth and security to the relationship

The gifts of allowing ourselves to be seen when we’re in relationship with another person who honors us and reflects back our strength. It allows us to be even more authentic.
