This week on the Couch, Crissle gets into the messy realities of friendship, family, and healing. She explores what to do when your friends let you down, how to support someone whose relationship has become controlling, and what it means when a friendship starts to fall apart.
She also talks through the unexpected ways EMDR therapy can bring buried emotions, memories, and physical reactions to the surface. Across each conversation, Crissle helps callers sit with the uncomfortable parts, make sense of what’s happening, and figure out what to do when the people and relationships they love aren’t showing up the way they hoped.
