  • Process & Principles vs Content & Outcomes with Dr. Adam Mathews
    Sometimes when we're in pain, we focus more on controlling the outcome of a conflict than we are on staying true to our values. We forget that we can't control the behaviors, words, feelings, or thoughts of others, and so we really don't have any control over the outcome. In this episode, we talk about how to communicate in a way that stays in line with your values and prevents the stress of worrying about the outcome.

  • What happens in the office of a sex therapist?
    What does it mean about our relationship if we need therapy? What if the therapist tells us our issues are unfixable? Shouldn't we be able to fix this ourselves? What if we start going and our therapist just wants us to come back over and over again for years? How do we know when we don't need therapy anymore? Are they just going to make me talk about my feelings? How do we even figure out whether or not our struggles are worthy of a therapist?

  • Bonus Episode - Q&A With Kristin & Nate
    Here are the questions we tackle today: "I feel like every since I have had my children my sex drive has gone out the window!
