Welcome back to Transforming Minds. I'm Dr. Brian Ragsdale. Thank you for joining me for Season 2, Episode 7.

Today, we're diving into an important, sometimes uncomfortable, but deeply human topic: power struggles in relationships. We'll be pulling from ideas I've shared in earlier episodes about breaking free, boundary setting, and the emotional frameworks of dependence, independence, and interdependence. We'll also look at how gender, ethnicity, culture, and money shape the dynamics we bring into our partnerships.

I'll walk you through three real-world relationship snapshots to help bring this to life: a gay couple, two bisexual partners, and a new dad and wife adjusting to parenthood. Remember these are not real client stories, just examples I created to discuss the topic.

Let's jump in.
