Summary
On this episode, I sit down with Emmalee Bierly, LMFT and Jennifer Chaiken, LMFT, owners and founders of the Therapy Group. We hear about early red flags you can look out for to identify if someone might be toxic, manipulative, or abusive, how to realize you’re in an unhealthy situation, and how you can get out of it. We discuss why we want what we can’t have and push away what we can have, dating a narcissist, what to do if our friend is in a toxic situation and more. We close out the episode by hearing how to find the right kind of therapist for you and how to break up with a therapist who isn’t the right fit.

| 0:08.2 | Hey guys, it's Alana and welcome back for another episode of seeing other people. |
| 0:13.0 | Today's episode is actually so amazing that I want to keep this intro very short, |
| 0:17.7 | but I want to call out one thing that I've noticed lately. |
| 0:20.1 | So I started recording |
| 0:21.4 | a lot of content on TikTok. Shout out to follow at alana. Dot done on TikTok. There's actually |
| 0:27.5 | no seeing other people TikTok account. It's just at alana. Dot done. And I started recording a lot |
| 0:33.2 | of dating content about the dating quote unquote rules that I broke when I first met Jake. |
| 0:39.5 | You guys know that I'm a big like anti, like I don't believe in rules because dating is not |
| 0:44.9 | one size fits all and what works for you is not going to work for me. |

| 0:55.4 | going to work for you because we're different and we have different experiences. And so I started |

| 1:16.9 | And what blows my mind is that I think all of the content that we see out there from other |
| 1:22.7 | people and and other influencers and podcasters and people in the space are like, play hard to get. |
| 1:29.4 | It works. Like the chase works. And that's the frustrating part where we don't want to play |
| 1:34.9 | games because we want to be ourselves, but we're being told to play games because people are like, |
