Welcome to this week's episode of Best Friend Therapy - the one where we ask the tough questions...
* What's the difference between emotional detachment and emotional unavailability?
* Why can needs get confused with neediness?
* How do sympathy and empathy serve different purposes?
We explore how emotional detachment can actually help us to develop greater empathy and deepen authentic relationships, with others and ourselves. And we explain what happens when we don’t detach - how we can lose objectivity and fall foul of merging with others, enmeshing our experiences, projecting our beliefs and outsourcing our authentic needs...
Emma explains why she used to work for brownie points and Elizabeth gets interested in the inner psyche of the teenage girl.
