Competition

Rebecca Hunter, MSW
About this episode

Competition in relationships kills connection. I see it in the therapy office all of the time. A little bit can be compelling- too much, not so much. When we compete with people we are in relationships with, it can be quite destructive. Don’t worry- I’m here to help you let go of this sneaky dynamic.
