In this episode, I discuss the importance of relationships and the concept of the comfort trap. I share my experiences with clients and observations of relationships, emphasizing the need for a healthy model and conflict resolution skills. I highlight the anxiety that arises when initial hurts occur and the tendency to seek comfort and security. I also explore the impact of children on relationships and the importance of being a model for them. Ultimately, I encourage viewers to embrace growth and psychological adulthood in their relationships. Book mentioned in the episode: https://www.amazon.com/Road-Less-Traveled-Timeless-Traditional/dp/0743243153
