Celeste breaks out the Brene Brown buzzer again by talking about braving the wilderness in your relationship as we listen to "One Foot" by Walk the Moon.

Karpman's Drama Triangle is a way of understanding at negative roles we can embody when feeling, well, drama! The Victim ("Everyone is against me!"), The Persecutor ("Oh yeah? #@*#$ you!"), or The Rescuer ("Let me fix you!"). Tammy Jones LMFT) and Debbie Reid (LCSW) help explain how we fall into The Drama Triangle and, more importantly, how we get out! Rich and Celeste discuss and (appropriately) fix Coldplay's song "Fix You" and Rich does his darndest to sing it in a falsetto singing voice!

This is part two of episode 17, where we continue on with our conversation with Tony Overbay about narcissism. Tony even gives Celeste a little therapy. Enjoy!

While everyone's spouse is selfish from time to time, it can be a whole different ballgame to be married to someone with a narcissistic personality disorder. What to do if this describes your spouse? I have no idea, but thankfully Tony Overbay does! As an LMFT, he walks us through the dos and don'ts of being married to a narcissist. Meanwhile, Rich and Celeste offer some therapy to the song "You're So Vain" and Rich's re-written version includes a narcissist walking into a therapist's office.

"Baby, It's a brand new day." So sings Max Frost in his song, "Good Morning." And so tells Celeste to herself everyday. The important thing to remember about new year's resolutions is that when you mess up, every day is a new day. You have the potential to start over everyday. On your goals and in your relationship. In today's episode we highlight good goal advice in the songs "Good Morning" and "You Gotta Be" as Rich and Celeste dish out their best advice for keeping up with goals.

Whether it's ruminating on past relationships or romanticizing the past of your current relationship, letting go of the past is hard. Yet, if we are to fully enjoy our present relationship, it is necessary. In this episode, we offer some therapy to the song "Last Christmas" by Wham. This poor guy seems awful hung up on his past relationship, despite have found "real love" since. Don't worry, we marriage theraoked him right up, and Rich's song re-write is sure to make your Christmas merrier (and healthier).

The idea that your partner can be the remedy to your pain is so alluring and very common. But who is responsible for your pain? Who is responsible for your partner's pain? This is what we explore today as we give some therapy to the song, "Remedy" by Adele. Rachel Neilson (host of the 3 in 30 podcast), offers some excellent advice of what to do when your partner is in pain without taking on the responsibility to carry their pain. Rich channels his inner Adele in his re-make called "I can't be your remedy."

"Baby, I'ts Cold Outside" has been our most requested song to give therapy to. While there were many different topics we could have discussed, we stuck with listening to each other's concerns. What do do when we think our partner's concerns are silly or not valid? How do we show respect for our partner even when we disagree with their concerns? We are deep diving into how to have conversations based on understanding instead of agreement. And, the re-make of this song becomes MUCH healthier!

Kyle and Allie Spinder are one of the top ballroom dance couples in the US in the American Smooth division. They are also married. Working together professionally with your spouse can easily breed contention. Kyle and Allie are here to teach us how to work together with love, patience and resilience.

Instead of critiquing and improving love songs this week, we're applauding them! Well, two specifically. Rich talks about faithfulness as he praises the song "Faithfulness" by Journey.

If you feel like your relationship could use a little boost, this episode will be perfect to give you some ideas and motivation.
