Summary
This week Kat welcomes a fellow therapist and colleague, Blake Blankenbecler. Blake is a psychodynamic therapist specializing in anxiety, trauma, and eating disorders. She has a private practice called Fig Holistic Psychotherapy in Charleston, South Carolina where she gets to help folks come into greater compassion and integration with their story, their body, and their emotions. Out of her work emerged a desire to study some of the most foundational and pivotal relationships that hardly get anytime in the spotlight: our friendships. She believes that life is meant to be lived in connection and helps friends have more meaningful conversations and create more sustainable friendships. Blake is releasing The Friendship Deck, a game for friends to play to help them navigate modern friendships as an adult on August 19th and can be purchased at www.thefriendshipdeck.com. You can also find her on instagram: @blakeblankenbecler.
In celebration of The Friendship Deck launch Blake and Kat discuss 5 stories we are taught about friendship that just aren’t always true :)
