The Relationship Podcast - There has to be an I before We!

Welcome to The Paradox of Change, where three experienced therapists guide you through the essential truth:

I B4We - You have to have a relationship with yourself before you can have a relationship with others!

We believe in understanding your needs, boundaries, and capacity for connection - because the most important relationship you'll ever have is the one with yourself.
