EPISODE 38: JD

JD has a challenging mental health diagnosis, regrets about her last relationship, and a fantastic sense of humor. She brings all of these to the show in the hopes that Renee can help her resolve her problematic romantic patterns. The two women discuss the validity of JD's diagnosis as well as how the early attachment trauma of JD's adoption contributes to her current challenges in love. Renee outlines a plan for JD's healing that will help her practice new relational behaviors by starting with the relationship she has with herself. Their conversation moves through topics like suicide and abandonment with unflappable levity, and in the end JD's hope transcends her diagnoses and doubts.
