ShrinkChicks

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. He shares his insight with us on how to communicate our needs to our partner, the human desire to feel loved, and the number one cause of infidelity. 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? You do not want to miss this one! Tune in for insight, awareness, and action!

At the end of every episode, Emmalee and Jen always say: "to grow yourself, you gotta know yourself" but what does that really mean? This week on ShrinkChicks, Em and Jen break down their tagline and explain where to start when getting to know yourself. They discuss specific questions to guide us on this journey, how indecisiveness plays a role in knowing ourselves, internal self vs. external self, and the stories they've told themselves about themselves that are no longer true. Emmalee and Jen answer listener questions like: what age did they feel like they knew themselves, how to know yourself when you're a people pleaser, and can you know yourself too well? Tune in to gain insight, awareness, and action!

This week's episode combines Emmalee and Jen's love for therapy and the Disney movie, Encanto, by discussing how Encanto so perfectly depicts family systems. Emmalee and Jen tell us about common, family roles we take on like the “caretaker” or the “scapegoat," how these roles can serve us and be reinforced externally, the story your family tells about you vs. what your story actually is, how trauma can inform these family roles, vulnerability, being the helpful one, and of course, Emmalee’s rendition of We Don’t Talk About Bruno. Tune in to gain insight, awareness, and action!
