S2, Ep 5 Friendship Therapy: Friendship Heartbreak - the games we play in friendshipUpdate: 2024-09-09
Description
Welcome back to Friendship Therapy, the podcast in which we look at friendships through a therapeutic lens.
This week, Emma is joined by Holly to talk about friendship heartbreak and how it feels to be dumped by a friend.
When Holly’s two closest friends got engaged, she found herself waiting for an invitation to be a part of the bridal party that never came. What happened next was a slow and painful reevaluation of the terms of a friendship that had formed such a significant and meaningful part of her life for more than a decade.
In this conversation, Emma and Holly discover how a text message about wedding planning would unravel a whole decade's worth of friendship and, ultimately, reveal a much more conditional connection built on conflict avoidance and adaptation.
Through the Transactional Analysis theory of games, we look back to the beginning of Holly's friendship game to help her understand what went wrong and learn how to avoid the same heartbreak in future.
