Supporting the Support System
This week on the podcast, Lauren sits down with her husband, Joseph Sheehey, to offer a perspective that rarely gets the recognition it deserves. We hear from experts and from those in process, but not often do we hear from the special individuals making up a safe, solid support system.
We talk about:
- What it is like for a partner to witness the deep healing of uncovering layers and unboxing the past
- How to navigate offering support and presence, without fixing or problem-solving
- Learning how to acknowledge when you have no control
- How to hold onto hope and a vision of the future
- Leaning into spirituality when there are no clear answers
- Crucial advice for the support system
- Why the support system needs and deserves just as much support, and where to get it
