On Episode 40, Trey tosses out a question to Lauren at 6:52am that gets her engine revving! Over the next 45 minutes they break down how love differs from cathexis, creating a nurturing adult, the questions we ask that are NOT questions, the vulnerability of requesting help, and facing the truth about our own needs.

Trust is crucial inside of partnership, yet many of us have very few examples of trustworthy relationships. Lauren shares how our families of origins shape our earliest understandings of communication, but sadly, very few of our parents were experts. Trey asks if it is up to us to heal and rebuild, so that our partners do not pay the price of our inability to ask for what we need, want, and desire.

Trey wants you to know that there is a small skip at minute 27:00 due to an editing error. Lauren thinks it’s minor, but he’s appalled!
