Welcome back to The Rich Couch 🛋

. 

You have just clicked the launch of my new Season entitled "Faith and Mental Health." 

. 

. 

A rich life lesson I have learned this passed year is to be good to yourself. This time last year I was so devastated after an unexpected lay off from the new job I started. This was a hit to my confidence and I was in shock! But I had to put my focus into not beating myself up and doing what was best for me in a dark period of my life. It was the push I needed in so many different ways! A year later I am extremely grateful for new opportunities, brighter days and ultimately Gods plan and purpose will not be stopped due to a temporary set back!! I hope this small piece of my journey enriches your life!!

I wanted to share part 2 of lessons I have learned post grad as a marriage and family therapist! One thing I loved about grad school was a distinct focus on the self care of a therapist. Today I share some key lessons I have learned to care for myself and be aware of my self when I am meeting with clients.

Tonight is the last night of our Honeymoon Phase series!! Tonight we dive into the topic of intimacy.

.

.

There are several definitions of intimacy floating out there, but I learned how not to allow Hollywood or social media define intimacy for our relationship. We also realize there are different types of intimacy.  Thanks to @alyssamariewellness for the diagram showing 4 types of intimacy.

.

.

Lastly checkout the SYMBIS.com website for a love assessment. Hope this episode is helpful to you and your marriage relationship (or future marriage)
