Can you love someone better? Can someone else save you from crisis? Should it be you and your partnership against the world? Louise asks celebrity therapist and clinical psychologist Dr Tari Mack about Megan Fox and Machine Gun Kelly's *potential* break up and the pair use the couple as a vehicle to explore: The concept of whether you can 'love someone better' Codependency and enmeshment Why we try to fix people, help them and love them Why boundaries don't work in toxic relationships Why 'twin flames' is often spiritual bypassing and makes an excuse for toxic love And more!
