In this episode, I delve into the intricate process of when relationships begin and when they come to an end. I discuss the importance of inner subjective realities, rather than simply relying on when couples have "the conversation" to be exclusive or decide to end their relationship by a declaration of some sort. I emphasize the various stages of relationship beginnings and endings, as well as the significance of defining boundaries. I also discuss the messy nature of endings, as well as the concept of getting closure. There is something for everyone in this one, so be sure to give it a listen! #relationships #divorce #love #dating
