  • Therapy-Speak in Everyday Life

    Send us Fan Mail

    Today in the Space, we talk about the massive increase and mainstreaming of therapy terms. Words that were one reserved for clinical settings have become commonplace. According to social media, everyone you know is probably a narcissist, your partner is gaslighting you, and you've probably experienced trauma multiple times. Matt, Mike, and Rob break down if that's true or not and the pros and cons of mainstreaming therapy-speak.

Matt, Mike, and Rob break it down with an inadvertent appearance from Mike and Rob's sister. Come join us on a journey into Lake Rob. Water's fine.

  • Creating Mystery in Your Relationship

  • The Words You Use Matter

    Send us Fan Mail

    Didn't mean what you said? Said breakfast BURRITO when you meant TACO (a big no-no in Austin, TX)? In this week's episode, Matt, Mike, and Rob carefully choose their words to show you that the things you say (and sometimes don't say) matter. Maybe you should say I love you more. Maybe you could be more positive and encouraging in your speech. Maybe you could watch more Anne of Green Gables. Eh? Or, just listen to The Manspace Podcast.

  • Do You Want to Be Right, or Do You Want to Be Married?

    Send us Fan Mail

    This week, Matt, Mike, and Rob break down the tired phrase to determine why we feel we need to be right. Not "we" in the Matt, Mike, and Rob sense, but "we" like Spacemen. You get it, right? Point is, sometimes we get a little focused on being right or justifying ourselves and it gets in the way of communication. Maybe we should figure out what it means to communicate well. I bet we have an answer. We always do. We're as reliable as an Oldsmobile.
