The Closure You Never Got: How Do We Actually Let Go?
What does closure actually look like after a relationship ends? And do we really need another conversation, an explanation, or an apology in order to move forward?
In this solo episode of In Session with Clarinda, Clarinda explores the complicated process of letting go - from long-term relationships and situationships to the relationships that ended even though love was still there.
We’ll talk about why some relationships stay with us, why thinking about an ex doesn’t necessarily mean you want them back, and how sometimes what we’re grieving isn’t only the person - it’s the future we imagined or even the version of ourselves we were when we were with them.
Because closure isn’t about forgetting someone or pretending the relationship didn’t matter. Sometimes, closure is learning how to let something be part of your story without allowing it to keep writing the next chapter.
A conversation about attachment, grief, love, identity, and finding your own way forward.

When Their Narcissism Becomes Your Trauma
What happens when narcissism becomes part of a family system - and what actually gets passed down?
In this episode of In Session with Clarinda, Clarinda breaks down the difference between Narcissistic Personality Disorder and narcissistic traits, what narcissistic parenting can look like, and how these dynamics may show up differently with mothers and fathers.
But the impact doesn’t necessarily end when childhood does. We explore the roles children can learn to take on, how those adaptations can follow us into adult relationships, and why generational trauma doesn’t always mean becoming like the person who hurt you. Sometimes, what gets passed down isn’t the narcissism itself - it’s the survival strategies developed around it.
Clarinda also shares reflections from her own family history and explores what it can look like to recognize inherited patterns, understand where they came from, and decide what doesn’t need to be carried into the next generation.

The Blame Game: Why It Keeps You Stuck and What to Do Instead
Ever found yourself thinking, “If my partner would just change, we’d be fine”?
You’re not alone.
In this episode of In Session with Clarinda, we’re diving into one of the most common - and most damaging - patterns I see in relationships: blame.
When conflict arises, it’s easy to point fingers, defend ourselves, and focus on who’s at fault. But blame often keeps couples trapped in the very cycle they’re trying to escape. Instead of creating understanding, it fuels defensiveness, disconnection, and repeated arguments that never seem to get resolved.
In this episode, we’ll explore:
Why blame shows up so often during conflict
What blame is actually protecting us from
The connection between blame, vulnerability, and the nervous system
How blame leads to defensiveness and emotional distance
Practical ways to express your needs without attacking your partner
How to shift from “you versus me” to “us versus the problem”
Whether you’re in a relationship, navigating conflict with a loved one, or simply wanting to improve the way you communicate, this episode offers insight and practical tools to help you move from criticism and defensiveness toward connection and understanding.
Because behind blame is often a deeper feeling waiting to be heard.
