134. Drew #100: Taking a Big Rip of Oxygen

134. Drew #100: Taking a Big Rip of Oxygen

Drew sees progression and growth in his relationship with a friend, but doesn't see it with his parents. Drew has an epiphany about his relationship with them that he names "conditional love," as he is more aware of how he people-pleases in order to feel love from them. Doug helps Drew slow down and process his thoughts and feelings about the evolving relationship with his parents. Drew acknowledges feeling embarrassed, frustrated, and disappointed in who they are now, especially as it might reflect on how people see him. Doug validates his feelings and reflects it back to him before helping Drew reframe it. By radically accepting his mom as she is, he can see that she might be showing him love the way she is capable, rather than the way his love language usually recognizes it.
