Swedish psychologist Jenny Rickardsson joins us for this special episode on relationships. How do we handle and deepen them? How do we actually connect? Sandra shares her story about how one single sentence from a partner pierced her heart with a truth that rings in her ears to this day. Laura opens up about how she struggled with the balance of being a supportive partner, whilst setting boundaries and speaking her own truth.

As the co-hosts share their pivotal experiences, Jenny introduces us all to some useful keys for building a healthy relationship. We learn about the ACT method, the three pillars for meaningful connection, and how to apply and work with the triangle of “task, relationship and self-respect”. We also talk about the importance of vulnerability and why it is so difficult to open up authentically to one another. 

• In this episode we touch upon: 
• How to practice new behaviors in your relationships.
