Welcome back friend! This week Monica throws together her first Friendsgiving, and it's giving "at least I tried" energy. In her efforts to meet everyone else's needs, she is thwarted when the gang gets locked out of her apartment and all her hard work goes up in flames. Literally. This episode also features Ross's persistent distain for Susan, Joey's new fame as the face of venereal disease, and Rachel missing her flight to Vail for her family ski trip. In the end, the gang realizes the most important thing is friendship and being together.

Therapy wise, we get into themes of:

-family abandonment

-setting boundaries as a way to avoid resentment

-Ross's risk of self sabotage

-how acceptance and commitment therapy and/or narrative therapy could aid in overcoming unwanted feelings and unhelpful beliefs.

Tune in and let's chat. Enjoy!
