Episode Details

This week on the Couch, Crissle sits down with Dr. Raquel Martin to talk about boundaries, conflict, and what it really means to have healthy relationships. They unpack the difference between boundaries and standards, how to communicate your needs effectively, and why sometimes the person most likely to violate your boundaries is yourself.

Crissle and Dr. Raquel Martin unpack the importance of being reasonable in our relationships and how our own behaviors can impact the dynamics we have with others. They discuss what healing looks like while you’re still in the middle of the mess and explore how to navigate difficult conversations while still maintaining healthy boundaries.
