Understanding the Overfunctioning Woman in Love with an Underfunctioning Partner - with Dr. Ashley Southard | Ep. 116

Janna has an eye-opening conversation with Dr. Ashley Southard, a licensed marriage and family therapist of 22 years, about her work helping overfunctioning women in love with underfunctioning partners.

They discuss what this dynamic looks like for both women and men, why women tend to take on the emotional labour for both partners, and what women can do to self-restore inside or outside of the relationship.
