Summary

Did Dr. Naomi just get scammed into buying fake Taylor Swift tickets? Probably not, but Jordana has her second guessing anyway (what else are sisters for??). They kick things off with an email from a listener whose therapist isn’t giving her enough guidance for how to go through with a breakup. Naomi gives some practical exercises for preparing yourself to break the news. Then they read a Betchicist email from a listener who wants to know if it’s insensitive to drink alcohol around a sober family member. This week’s intention-setting exercise involves emotionally draining phone calls with a family member who has taken on the role of caregiver. Can you still serve as a support system without taking on too much emotional burden? Finally, the triggered submissions include an unwanted baby shower, and an abrupt end to a relationship.
