Summary

Hey, Fellow Travelers. This week we’re in session with Emma, who wants to break her pattern of being drawn to older, unavailable men. We help her to see how her fear of rejection and loss after her father’s death serves to keep her safe but actually leaves her quite lonely.

 

If you have a dilemma you’d like to discuss with us—big or small—email us at [email protected].
