This episode delves into how serious illness affects relationships, examining both strengthening and fracturing of bonds. We explore the complex dynamics between patients and their support systems, including the phenomenon of 'relationship role reversal' and the challenge of maintaining reciprocity when needs become asymmetrical. Through various case studies, we examine how couples, families, and friendships evolve under medical stress, including the often-unspoken tensions and unexpected sources of connection that emerge.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
