Telling Friends They've Let You Down: Dr. Marisa G Franco

Dear Nina: Conversations About Friendship

Episode #63 with Dr. Marisa G. Franco
Conflicts in friendships can feel so daunting, but sometimes we have to tell friends they've let us down rather than distancing ourselves and ignoring calls and texts. (A tactic too many of us use.) Here to help is Dr. Marissa G Franco, author of the instant NYT bestseller, Platonic: How the Science of Attachment Can Help You Make–and Keep–Friends. Dr. Franco will help us learn what to say to friends when there's conflict and how to hear it when friends are upset with us, too. We also delve into attachment theory and its significance in understanding our emotions and behaviors in friendships.
The summer (virtual) gathering of the Dear Nina Book Club is coming on July 24th at 7PM CST. I'd love to see you!

This time we're discussing---Platonic: How the Science of Attachment Can Help You Make--and Keep--Friends by Marisa G. Franco, Ph.D. Sign up at ninabadzin.com/bookclub/
