When Tasha and her now-husband got back together, they’d been apart for eight years, during which time they’d both grown and changed. “I’d had five years of therapy and had become a therapist myself. He had experienced and recovered from cancer, which had made a big emotional and personal impact on him,” she remembers. “We both had to become more emotionally mature and more experienced with being vulnerable, which meant we finally had the tools to be in a relationship together.”
