I can love you better than her, do you believe me or do I need to explain more? In this episode, your two favorite therapists are discussing Mary J Blige’s song, I Can Love You, and what it looks like to try to prove your self-worth and love, codependency, and what it looks like to need validation from other people in order to feel valid within yourself.
