They start the episode off by addressing a listener question that asks “how to get over rejection?” The hard truth is that rejection is inevitable - and so they give us all tangible ways to learn to deal with rejection and the feelings that accompany it. Emmalee and Jen discuss rejection’s connection to shame and embarrassment, the fear of rejection and how to overcome it, how to work on not taking rejection personally, the grieving process that can come after being rejected, their personal experiences with rejection (specifically re: dating), why it’s so hard to get over rejection from an ex, and so much more!

This week, Emmalee and Jen talk about their bread and butter: couples therapy! As Licensed Marriage and Family Therapists, couples therapy is one of their favorite topics to demystify. They start by discussing the stigma behind couples therapy and why they wholeheartedly believe in it - from both sides of the couch - because relationships are hard!! They talk about when a couple should seek out therapy, what to expect from couples therapy, the fears going into it, and why it is helpful when their couple clients argue in front of them. Emmalee and Jen answer your questions like what they wish couples would talk about in premarital therapy, how to shift your mindset from thinking that seeking couples therapy = doomed relationship, tips for effective communication and each of their favorites, important questions to ask each other before getting married, and a Dear Em & Jen about moving in with a significant other! Tune in to gain insight, awareness, and action!

On today’s episode of ShrinkChicks, Emmalee and Jen have the pleasure of sitting down with Mac Stanley Cazeau, LMHC (@talk2mac_therapist) to talk all about relationships, communication, infidelity, and affair recovery. Mac owns a private practice called Therapy is for Everyone and primarily works with couples recovering from an affair.

Mac answers your questions like: how do I not punish my current partner for my ex’s infidelity, how do I move forward successfully with my partner after infidelity, and the most popular listener question: is there truth to the saying: once a cheater, always a cheater?

They discuss Lydia's work in helping clients identify their value and purpose, what it was like for Lydia to leave the "celebrated" career and take a risk, and answer your questions about hustle culture, career changes, burnout, boundaries at work, and toxic work environments.
