Reflecting on Nathan's story from previous episodes, we examine unconscious adaptations that help us navigate relationships but can lead to difficulties outside the familial context. We pose introspective questions regarding parental influence and emotional management, and share personal stories to illustrate these concepts. Stay tuned as we introduce Anastasia's mission to educate on abuse and healing in the next episode.
