Dear Dr. Tracy

Love, Acceptance, and Therapy with Dr. Alexandra Solomon


Listen Later

This week, Dr. Tracy is sitting down with Dr. Alexandra Solomon, a licensed clinical psychologist, professor, speaker, and author of two bestselling books “Loving Bravely” and “Taking Sexy Back”. Her work on relational self-awareness has reached millions of people around the world, and today, Dr. Solomon and Dr. Tracy are diving into the real experiences of therapists, the common misconceptions of couples therapy, and how to develop a strong relationship with your therapist. Together, they explore the elements that went into Dr. Tracy’s new book, “I Didn’t Sign Up For This,” and the importance of the patient-client relationship. They also discuss the shifting narrative and stigma of therapy and the many misconceptions and fears of couples therapy in particular.  

Today’s Topics include: 

  • Shifting narrative in therapy 
  • Importance of the patient-client relationship and the need for giving feedback to therapists 
  • Acceptance as a requirement in love and relationships 
  • How our ambitions have an impact on relationship challenges 
  • Decreasing stigma around therapy and the common misconceptions about couples therapy 
  • Seeing couples therapy as a sign of strength and vulnerability 
  • Normalizing life changes and addressing relationship problems openly 
  • When to consider solo therapy versus couples therapy 
  •  

    You can find Dr. Alexandra on Instagram, on her website, and listen to her podcast
