Many people get involved with therapy or life coachinghere at Growing Self in order to improve all their relationships — not just their romantic partnerships or marriages. Let's face it: Friendships can present their own unique challenges.
If this is an area of growth for you, too, you'll definitely want to listen to this episode. I'll be discussing:
- Why friendships end
- How the dynamics of friendships are similar to and different from romantic relationships
- How to mend a friendship that has been feeling strained
- What to do about toxic friendships
- How to cope if you've been ghosted by a friend
- The path of healing after an unexpected friendship loss
- How to end a friendship compassionately
- How to change a friendship if you need different boundaries with a friend
I hope these ideas help you strengthen your friendships and keep healthy people in your life!
