Welcome back to the last episode of Dial Emma for this season! You share your dilemma, any dilemma, and Emma shares her reflections as a therapist to give you the tips and tools you need to navigate it.
This week, Emma hears from a listener who is navigating feelings of insecurity in her romantic relationship, which started as an affair with her boss and is now a complex dynamic with an ex-partner and children involved.
In this episode, Emma explores how we can address feelings of insecurity constructively by acknowledging and validating our feelings and where they might be coming from, and communciating them openly. Are we fearful of being abandoned, or perhaps not being good enough? Are there feelings of guilt or mistrust at play, particularly in situations characterised by secretiveness or deceit?
Emma also encourages listeners to set boundaries that feel respectful and safe and gives some tips on how to build on our sense of self worth and confidence from within.
