    The Myth of the Lesbian Utopia, Abusive Relationships and How to Heal | ft. Jaimee

    Hello listeners and fellow twenty-somethings. Welcome back to Messy Stages, the podcast where we unpack all the emotions and experiences that adulthood throws at us. Today, we are joined by none other than my ex(!) turned good pal Jaimee, who happens to be studying to become a therapist specialising in LGBTQ+ (specifically lesbian) relationships and mental health. We discuss everything from our history and experiences with one another, to our own experiences within the realm of unhealthy and abusive situations, to how we've found peace and self love and navigated our own healing process.  Jaimee's reading recommendations: In the Dream House by Carmen Maria Machado Naming the Violence: Speaking out about lesbian battering by Kerry Lobel et. al all about love by bell hooks Connect with Jaimee: Instagram: @jaimeestoczko  jaimee@amblercounseling.com (215) 764-7117
