Being Emotionally Supportive is NOT the Same as Being Your Partner's Therapist
Being emotionally supportive in a relationship is a skill that can be learned by both partners, not just a job for therapists. Discover how emotional support and engagement can be practiced to strengthen your connection.
In this session, Julie explores the often unspoken question: Am I carrying too much of the emotional weight in my relationship? She breaks down what emotional work really means—offering support, creating space for connection, showing vulnerability—and helps you identify when it starts to feel one-sided or unsustainable.
Julie guides you through why these patterns develop, what they might be protecting, and how to begin shifting out of them. Whether you tend to over-function or struggle to engage emotionally, this conversation offers a clear, grounded path toward more balance, clarity, and connection.
