In today’s episode, I sat down with Dr. David Marcus, a clinical psychologist with over 40 years of experience, to dive deep into the heart of what really makes therapy—and connection—work. Dr. Marcus shared one simple but powerful quote: “Therapy begins where the words run out,” and we talked about how that applies not just to psychologists but to all of us, especially parents. We explored the importance of truly listening, creating space for feelings that are hard to name, and why sometimes the best help is just being present. I hope this episode encourages you to pay attention to those “wordless” moments in your own life and relationships, and to remember that connection always starts with understanding. Thanks for tuning in—let’s keep growing together!
