Summary

On this week's episode of ShrinkChicks, Emmalee and Jen are sharing their thoughts on green flags in relationships and the signs of a healthy partnership. They discuss both green flags when first dating and green flags within the relationship once it is established. Em and Jen answer your questions about the feeling of unfamiliarity that can occur when dating someone with green flags, how to tell if someone is on their “best behavior” at the beginning or if that’s actually who they are, the transition out of the honeymoon phase, growing and changing together, the difference between codependency and emotional green flags, and so much more. Tune in to gain insight, awareness, and action! PS: Fast forward to around 13 minutes to skip the intro and get straight to today’s content.
