I read this somewhere and it makes a lot of sense and dovetails with a lot of the topics I discuss. Specifically, have you been thinking your marriage is the problem... but you are underestimating the impact of hormones, biology, and evolution on your "restlessness"? Listen and see if you have an aha moment yourself.

ALLOW FOR A LITTLE LEARNING CURVE AS I USE THIS NEW MICROPHONE, GUYS! :)

If you feel your partner wouldn't have loved you as a shy kid, a weird adolescent, or a socially awkward young adult, or whatever your personal version is of these, then you are unlikely to feel truly loved by them now. Here's how this plays out in relationships that I see!

A special treat! This awesome, fun and funny episode is super relevant for anyone who struggles with preoccupied attachment or with anxiety and overthinking! Dr. Marie Land, clinical psychologist, was a great guest. Be sure to check out her resources below and read her book when it comes out... it's called The Overthinker's Guide to Dating!

Learn more about her:

• Overthinking with Dr. Marie

This cognitive reframe can be transformational. It is very similar to my episode on the switch in your 50's from old young person to young old person. If you or your partner struggles with any chronic mental or physical health issue, this episode is for you!

Dr. Rachel Singer is awesome. She's a psychologist in my area and is a wonderful, kind, and intelligent therapist for anxious kids (and adults, and parents). This is an awesome conversation that really I did not keep on track even slightly because we had so much fun discussing our own experiences with anxiety in childhood and all about the SPACE program for kids.

Today's episode discusses what avoidant attachment looks like early on... which is useful if you've convinced yourself that your partner bait and switched you! Having an objective understanding of each other can transform relationships... and if you're dating right now, this gives you some red flags to look out for if you don't want to be a pursuer forever!

Today I'm joined by two wonderful providers we have at Best Life Behavioral Health: ⁠Paula Pate⁠ and ⁠Cat Roebuck⁠. We do a deep dive into a couples therapy modality they both use that I don't know much about, differentiation-based sex and marital therapy, aka the crucible approach! This is a great way to watch Cat and Paula in real time if you are considering working with either of them individually or as a couple. They are both smart and passionate about what they do. This conversation was a lot of fun and taught me a great deal!

Book with Cat or Paula by emailing [email protected] and read more about the topics we discuss here:
