Summary
We have loved every minute of these last two years, as we've curated this collection of conversations to share with you, our wonderful listeners.
Thank you so much for having us and we hope you'll join us for one last look back, at the journey we've been on together...
We talk about our favourite episodes and look back on some of the memorable moments that made us laugh and cry. We'd love to hear from you about your favourite episodes and what you'll take away from this series and, remember, the back catalogue is there for you whenever you want to dip in and hear some words of comfort and support, or just enjoy hearing us lose it over that pesky rustle in the bush.
Elizabeth shares her heartfelt thanks for the space you've given to her feelings on fertility and Emma will forever be grateful for the confidence she's gained to speak her truth more widely.
Finally, know that we see you. We hear you. We understand you.
And you are not alone. You will always be welcome here.
Oh, and watch this space for what comes next...
Love Elizabeth and Emma xx

| 0:07.0 | Hello and welcome to Best Friend Therapy. |
| 0:10.0 | I'm Elizabeth Day, author and podcaster and for over 20 years I've been best friends with a therapist. |
| 0:17.0 | That's me. |
| 0:18.0 | Hello, I'm Emmer Reed Terrell and I'm a psychotherapist. |
| 0:21.0 | In my private practice I talk to clients about the challenges they face in daily life and we work together in a non-judgmental supportive space to increase their sense of well-being. |
| 0:30.0 | And as her BFF, I get all the benefit of her expertise and wisdom for free. |
| 0:35.2 | Emma makes me feel better about life, but also helps me to understand why I act the way I do. |
| 0:41.3 | Oh, thanks, Liz. She's also one of the only people allowed to call me Liz. |
| 0:46.0 | We wanted to open the doors to our friendship and throw a light on the therapy we all need in our everyday lives. Each week we chat about what's on our minds to get deeper |
| 0:55.8 | in our minds. Two best friends, one therapist, no filter. That's best friend therapy. |
| 1:08.0 | And now the end is here |
| 1:11.0 | and so we face. Anyway. Anyway, actually it's quite tempting just to keep that going, isn't it? But I won't, I will stop and I will say, |
| 1:18.8 | welcome to best friend therapy. If you're not here for us feeling really emotional and reflective, then you're in the wrong place because this, for anyone who listened to last week's episode, this is our last episode of Best Friend Therapy. This is our last recorded |
| 1:35.4 | episode of Best Friend Therapy and I'm going to say that because bloody hell do I bang on enough |
| 1:41.0 | about how we should actually recognize endings, recognize when things finish and feel how we feel about them. |
| 1:47.6 | In fact, there's a whole black catalogue of episodes there that cover just that. |
| 1:52.0 | So I'm not going to jump straight into her, but don't worry, because actually I want to honor what best friend therapy is, has been, not just for me, but for you are lovely listeners and for you are lovely Liz. |
| 2:06.7 | Oh, thank you. I actually really want to know this and I always think about it with whichever therapist I've had in the past. |
| 2:18.5 | How do you end therapy? It's so difficult. How do you as a therapist think, oh I think it's time that we draw this to a close? |
| 2:28.0 | And how do you do it? Any top tips on how to end your therapeutic relationships? and then we'll get into the emotional stuff. But yeah, I've always really struggled with that. I feel like I'm letting a therapist down. You are. How are they going to feed their children? I tend to lead with Frank Sinatra. |
