IT TAKES TWO: ONE COUPLE'S CHALLENGES WITH RAD

Published on: 11th January, 2022

I especially recommend this episode for couples. It's a story of hope and despair and hope again. I'm sure many of you will recognize yourselves somewhere in Laura's story.

Laura shares her experience about being a stepmom trying to raise a stepchild with RAD and the toll it took on her marriage. And everything in between. Including "little wife syndrome". It's a real thing y'all!

Episode Takeaways:

-It takes both people to be on the same page

-Individual and couples therapy can help with the right therapist

-Work on your own trauma

-Set and respect boundaries

-Believe your gut
