Shasta sits down with her friend Valerie to discuss the time a hurtful conversation drove a wedge between them. They spill their regrets and what they wish they could tell their past selves. They reveal how they not only rekindled their friendship but grew to become best friends today. Finally, they consider strategies to ask for what we need in a loving way, to avoid hurting our friends and receive what we really desire—to feel closer to and more valued by them.
In this episode, Shasta and Valerie answer the questions:
- What can prompt someone to break up with a friend?
- What did it feel like to be the person initiating a friendship breakup? What did it feel like to be the person being “broken up” with?
- How do you discuss friendship problems or relationship problems without hurting feelings?
- How do you fix a friendship that ended due to hurt feelings?
