In several of our previous episodes we reference a listener who clocked us for not including “the male perspective.” We finally invite this listener, Ron Geren, to be a guest on AWP and help us navigate the world of men. Ron is an actor, director, and photographer based in Venice, CA. He just recently wrapped the independent film "Dreamer" Written and directed by Nick Miller and Johnny Zwick. Ron is currently in rehearsal for the upcoming PRT production of "True West" by Sam Shepard. You can check out his photography at www.geren.photography.
Ron expresses his concern that we’re therapizing our listeners and asks how we deal with the pressure. We then point out that our listeners are therapists too (literally, none of us are therapists) and we then read an email and article from a listener who was very upset that I said I had “mommy brain.” You can read the article in its entirety here: https://medium.com/@jennyhopkinsatx/working-for-two-c0513f07dcdb.
Afterwards, we get some feedback from a listener who we can’t stop thinking about and of course this leads to Alison crying…again.
In the Absolute Worst Therapy section, we hear from a man who wants to know how to get his wife to have anal. We then help another listener decide when enough is enough.
Ron ends this episode with an epic Absolute Yourst which requires not only an apology to Neva, but also an apology to Ron’s mom. SORRY, MOM!
Alison and Dana ALWAYS want to hear your problems, advice, feedback and Absolute Yoursts! You can contact them through their website, friend them on Facebook, or follow them on Instagram and Twitter.
