S2, Ep 7 Best Friend Therapy: Transactio...

Emma Reed Turrell
About this episode
Welcome to Best Friend Therapy, where we chat about what's on our minds, to get deeper in our minds, and this week we're doing something a little bit different.

We're going down the rabbit hole and we're taking you with us, as Emma therapises the hell out of Elizabeth.

Using Transactional Analysis techniques, Emma takes Elizabeth on a journey of self-discovery and hopefully sets you up to do the same. Bring a question or a situation of your own and follow along, as you discover your internal voices and find your way to an Adult way of seeing things.

Find out why Emma loves a game of hopscotch, and why you wouldn't want to meet Silvana down a dark alley.
