Flexibility is crucial in being a good partner. Being rigid and too boundary can hinder relationships. Embracing the friction and unpleasant aspects of people can lead to deeper connections. Falling in love with people's imperfections and rough edges is essential for intimacy. Marrying our unfinished business and being drawn to familiar traits can lead to conflicts in relationships.

Therapist, counselor, and author Lori Gottlieb says that a lot of our culture’s approach to mental health is wrong.
In today’s podcast, we discuss what it takes to do therapy effectively. We discuss the prevalence of mental health content online and why that may be a bad thing. We talk about how people’s misunderstandings of vulnerability and boundaries can backfire. And we get into the effect social media might be having on this.
