This week: Your Partner Is Not Your Project

On this episode, Tom and Brett discuss what happens when your partner starts feeling more like your child. Today we unpack overfunctioning, resentment, boundaries, and how to stop carrying the relationship—first with our therapist hats on, then we unzip it and tell you what we really think.

Actionable steps: Be Kind and Be Respectful to one another.
