Mitigating Unrealistic Expectations
Too often, expectations turn into a judgmental approach.
One of the definitions of "expectation" is "the degree of probability that something will occur."

Joyce Knudsen, PhD, joins Andrea and Lisa to explain why expectations can be so damaging in relationships and your own mental health, as well as tips for managing them.
