Emmalee Bierly and Jennifer Chaiken, both licensed marriage and family therapists who are also known as the shrink chicks, come by Betches virtual HQ to answer all of our COVID-19 isolation related questions when it comes to relationships and being quarantined with your partner.

COVID-19, social distancing and self-quarantining are incredibly scary and not something any of us are used to or know how to deal with. The fact that maybe you're feeling annoyed with your partner could having nothing to do with the relationship itself and have everything to do with the situation your relationship has been forced into, so take the rare opportunity you have of not being able to run from your feelings and sitting down to actually talk things through.

Working from home can be difficult, especially when your live-in partner suddenly also becomes your new office mate, the Shrink Chicks discuss how to draw boundaries with each other that could help avoid unnecessary arguments and getting annoyed over what outside of quarantine, may not be a big deal whatsoever.

Emmalee and Jennifer also answer the simple questions like if it's a terrible idea to hook up with your otherwise platonic friend/roommate (yes...it is!) How to introduce sexting into a relationship where you have yet to have virtual sex, and maybe physical sex, how to keep the magic alive with your partner who lives in another state, how to deal with the anxiety of being in a relationship with an essential worker, how to reach out to your friends when your not used to being vulnerable to tell them that maybe you need them to reach out more, and god forbid, how to deal with a recent break up when you're in isolation. (hint: it's probably a healthier way then you normally would deal with a breakup!)

Whether you're in a new relationship, quarantining with your husband of 20 years, or you're all alone and struggling with how to pass the time and how to keep your sanity, the shrink chicks have advice for you!

Make sure you check out our good influence fund for corona relief at betches.co/donate ! We're donating to four major organizations that are fighting on the front lines for corona relief, one of which being the National Domestic Violence Hotline. It's fun to make jokes about staying at home all the time, but the reality is it's not safe for all of us. Lots of people are stuck in unsafe situations, which are made worse by things like economic stress. Donations to the hotline help keep it open to handle calls from victims and survivors who need advice on staying safe or escaping a dangerous situation. That's:
