A sad reality is that there are a lot of daughters-in-law who are denying themselves of a basic survival need because they don’t like being around their in-laws.This episode explores a confession, it was sent in by one of my followers on Instagram, but there were a lot more sent in on the same theme and I’ve included them throughout the episode i.e. feeling guilty for eating before others, feeling guilty for eating food that someone else has cooked, feeling judged and criticised.To join the DIL’s membership click here:https://spiritualpsychologist.co.uk/we-married-the-familyOr book in for a session:https://spiritualpsychologist.co.uk/You can find me on IG: @spiritual.psychologist and e-mail me: [email protected]
