377: Behind the Sessions: Anger and Emotional Pain in Marriage with Dr. Kat


Listen Later

We are exploring a topic that pops up frequently in therapy sessions. Relationship issues are often an underlying factor of other challenges that prompt women to seek therapy. They are looking for problem-solving solutions to help with the pain they are experiencing in their relationships. Let’s take a closer look in today’s episode.


Show Highlights:

  • Gaslighting–a form of psychological manipulation that can have devastating effects on a relationship
  • Many clients desperately want their husbands/partners to seek therapy.
  • One-sided efforts by one partner can only go so far toward healing the relationship. 
  • Movement forward in the relationship usually happens as a result of couples therapy. 
  • How our conditioning sets us up with the perfect formula for a tension-filled marriage
  • Having kids changes EVERYTHING in a relationship!
  • Feeling isolated and alienated makes every problem seem magnified.
  • Healing CAN happen!
