This week Nicola and Di chat with the dynamic Pete Simson. He’s an entrepreneur, a farmer, a philanthropist, the co-founder of RedBalloon and a loving father to his 2 children. Pete is also a single man in his 60s, navigating the world of online dating and we wanted to get his thoughts and insights into what this has been like for him as well as any tips he might have for our listeners. Pete shares with us some of the highs and lows of online dating including some funny stories of dates that went wrong. He also shares the different lessons he’s learned, the psychological principles that help him to notice red flags, such as attachment styles, and the things he’s on the lookout for when it comes to dating profiles and meeting up with a potential match. In this episode, you’ll also get to hear more of Pete’s story - growing up on a farm in rural Victoria, and the fateful day he got home from school as a 10 year old and saw that his family home had burnt down. There are tears in the studio as Pete recounts that day, and shares stories from his childhood. We talk about his entrepreneurship as the co-founder of RedBalloon, the company he built in 2001 with his wife at the time, and how they were ahead of their time as an online gifting experience company. And we chat about what Pete is up to now - an exciting new film project that is shedding light on white collar domestic violence and raising awareness around this important issue. We had such a great time with Pete in the studio - he’s full of energy and the conversation just flowed. We hope you enjoy this chat as much as we did. This episode is proudly sponsored by Eir Women.

This week, Amir Levine, associate professor of psychiatry at Columbia University and co-author of Attached: The New Science of Adult Attachment and How It Can Help You Find—and Keep—Love, explains why people with secure attachment styles are not only more loving, trusting and easier to live with but why choosing to be around ‘secures’ can modulate our own behavior and help us in turn become more secure.   

It’s our last episode of Summer School, and today we welcome back clinical psychologist (and “clinical cousin” of Hugh and Josh), James van Cuylenburg. In this episode, James tells us EVERYTHING we need to know about our relationships… well almost everything…there’s a lot to cover. From attachment styles, to breaking trust, to learning how to own your feelings and navigating coupledom through life’s changing seasons. Getting into the nitty gritty, Hugh asks James about intimacy and what happens when you’re not…. having any. And how to start a conversation with your kids about pornography. Relationships make life worth living and whether they’re with an intimate partner, a friend, or yourself, they should be cherished and treated with care. James, we thank you for your guidance.

If dependency is not a bad word, nobody told Michelle and me. Since we were children our mom has implanted us with the mantras: “You must be independent”, “Never depend on a man”, etc. Immigration to the United States of America probably self-selects for the most independent-minded people and we were brought up in an entire family of freedom lovers. Independence has served us well. We were eager to start working and provide for ourselves. We were eager to learn about financial independence. Did someone say we could be free from even outside sources of income? Count us in. So what's the only problem with independence? The fact that none of us are truly independent. We rely on others for social support, mentoring, financial security, diverse perspectives, new ideas, inspiration, and more. In the book Attached, the authors discuss how depending on another person like a romantic person can provide security that can allow for more creativity and adventure. Ironically, the sense of safety that comes from relationships provides us with more freedom in our lives. This week Michelle and I discuss how dependence can be beneficial and how actions like being vulnerable and expressing your needs can help create a mutualistic relationship. Show Notes:Attached by Amir Levine and Rachel HellerCommunity TimeWhat do you think about dependence?

Today, I'm joined by Desirée Pais, the founder of BENSHEN.co. Our conversation unfolds organically and deeply on relationships, how to exist in them as our most authentic selves, and how to clarify what we really want. We explore the difference between fate and destiny, how she created BENSHEN.co, and the roadmap to healing that triggers can provide.  Desirée and I share what it means for us to be in long-term relationships. We both had to work through a lot of trauma, shadow work, the wounded feminine aspects of self, and shame to get to where we are today. Desirée observes that most people play out childhood patterns in relationships, particularly by not knowing exactly what they want and what they'll accept. She stresses the importance of shadow work and overwriting subconscious patterning to access the core of our relationship desires. Her platform BENSHEN.co helps support this kind of personal growth, and she also details additional effective healing modalities.  We share our experiences of navigating energy dynamics, approaching big conversations with partners, and how partnerships can lead to personal growth breakthroughs. Relationships have a special way of drawing out triggers that we may not know the root of. Having a self care practice is crucial in building a relationship with yourself so that you know how to work through them. Many of us hold suppressed emotions that subconsciously control our behavior and desires. Trust me, the work is always worth it.  Listen to the episode on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or on your favorite podcast platform.  Topics Covered: Desire and pleasure through the lower chakras “Spark” and commitment in long-term relationships  Energy dynamics, personal growth, and breaking generational patterns  Our biggest relationship breakthroughs Working with triggers to heal  Soulmates, fate vs destiny, and why Desirée chose to soften  The benshen acupuncture point  Resources Mentioned: Sign up for the BENSHEN Summer Retreat here Use ‘THERAINBOPODCAST' for 15% off at checkout on Rainbo products Attached by Amir Levine and Rachel Heller The Workout Witch Teal Swan Guest Info:  Follow Desirée Pais on Instagram: @desiree.pais  Follow BENSHEN on Instagram: @benshen.co Learn more on BENSHEN's website: benshen.co Follow Me: Follow me on Instagram: @tonyapapanikolove  Follow Rainbo on Instagram: @rainbomushrooms  Shop Rainbo: rainbo.com

He advises taking personal responsibility instead of projecting your emotional state onto your partner, highlighting the dangers of possessive jealousy, and the folly of using material gifts as solutions to deeper relational issues. His insights encourage readers to cultivate healthier, more self-aware relationships. Read along with the original article(s) here: https://markmanson.net/toxic-relationship-signs Quotes to ponder: "When you set a precedent that your partner is responsible for how you feel at all times, it can easily lead to a codependent relationship."

Apego não é papo de hoje, embora desapego pareça que sim. Em 1950 os psicanalistas John Bowlby e Mary Ainsworth desenvolveram a chamada Teoria de Apego. Eles estudaram de que forma os bebês se comportavam ao serem separados dos seus cuidadores e dividiram esse sentimento em quatro “tipos” vamos dizer assim: apego seguro, ansioso, evitativo e desorganizado. E o que nós, mulheres adultas, temos a ver com isso? Pois bem. Lá pela década de 1980, os psicólogos Cindy Hazan e Phillip Shaver descobriram que os adultos exibiam padrões de relacionamento semelhantes em suas relações. Em 2010, Amir Levine e Rachel Heller, transformaram isso em um livro e, claro, em uma hashtag: estilo de apego. Eles revelam que há indícios da evolução humana, inclusive, neste tipos de apego. Segundo eles, “há vantagens evolutivas em sermos mais sensíveis a ameaças ou em sermos mais independentes”. Vimos a febre desse termo por aí e pensamos: será que apego é só ruim? O excesso de desapego pode nos levar a posturas egocêntricas ou ampliar a sensação de solidão? Não temos a menor condição de ter esse papo sozinhas! Estamos muitíssimo bem acompanhadas pela psicanalista e mestre em psicologia pela USP, Fabiana Villas-Boas. ------------------ APOIE O PODCAST! ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.apoia.se/donasdaptoda⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ----- O ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Donas da P* Toda⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ é um podcast independente.

Have you ever found yourself puzzled by the dance of connection and withdrawal in your relationships? Coach Ryan Hawley joins us to unravel the often misunderstood concepts of avoidant attachment and narcissism, shedding light on the nuances that dictate the push-pull dynamics of love and intimacy. Through Ryan's expertise, we dissect the three primary attachment styles - secure, anxious, and avoidant - and delve into how they shape our interactions with partners, particularly the challenges posed by the avoidant's deep-seated fear of true closeness and the mistaken belief in inevitable abandonment.Navigating the complexities of modern dating can be like trying to solve a puzzle with missing pieces. That's where our conversation with Ryan becomes the missing link, providing actionable insights into recognizing the alarms of an avoidant partner. With a focus on the subtle yet disruptive patterns of behavior that avoidants exhibit, including their need for space and penchant for long-distance relationships, we equip you with the understanding to not take their retreats personally. Whether you're in the throes of dating or deep within a committed relationship, recognizing these red flags is crucial for fostering healthy dynamics and avoiding the heartache that comes from mismatched attachment needs.Concluding our deep dive, we address the beacon of hope: secure attachment. Through practical advice and a recommended self-assessment tool - the attachment style quiz from Amir Levine's book "Attached" - we empower you to journey towards a more secure you. We juxtapose the challenges and potential growth paths for anxious and avoidant individuals, emphasizing the importance of self-reflection and clear communication in evolving towards healthier partnerships. So, if you're keen on understanding the tango of attachment styles or striving to build stronger bonds, Ryan's guidance in this episode is the compass you need to navigate through the ever-shifting terrain of human connections.Coach Ryan:https://www.coachryanllc.com/coachingacceleratorTiktok:https://www.tiktok.com/@coach.ryan0?_t=8jFnXwRv0W3&_r=1Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/coach_ryan_h?igsh=MTM3dHVlbmVrOWh4cg%3D%3D&utm_source=qrBook:Attached Amir Levinehttps://amzn.to/3vSrdgxFinding your attachment https://www.attachedthebook.com/wordpress/compatibilityBuzzsprout - Let's get your podcast launched!

Episode #80: "Neediness" has come up in plenty of episodes, but this is the first one dedicated to that loaded word. The episode was inspired by a letter from a listener--author, Sally Vardaman, who found herself reacting to my mom's story in episode #72 about her decision to end a friendship over what she called, "neediness." Sally's letter was so reflective and insightful that I asked her to come on the show. We covered: feeling drained by a friend's needs.worrying you're overtaxing friends with your needs.eliminating the shame of having needs in the first place. We all have needs! They just rarely cannot be met by one particular friend.MEET SALLY VARDAMANSally Vardaman is a writer who believes in the power of stories to make us think, question our assumptions, and connect with each other despite our differences. She is the author of Shoot the Arrows, a new book of essays to her three teenage children on why honesty and self-reflection are the keys to a healthy and meaningful life.

Dating can feel like a rollercoaster; The butterflies, worrying if they're into you, if you're both on the same page, and all the heavy lifting of truly connecting. Now imagine dating without any help… No liquid courage to numb the big emotions. It can feel like walking a tightrope without a net!   In today's episode, I chat with Shaun Galanos on his journey of kicking alcohol to the curb. He talks about why he quit drinking and how it affected his relationships. We dive into the nitty-gritty of dating, the real talk on building connections that aren't just skin deep, and the art of connecting with someone, without that safety net of a glass in your hand.   Imagine sitting across from someone, feeling all those big emotions (the good, the bad, the awkward), and doing it stone-cold sober. We tackle all the hot topics and even give some hot takes.   Shaun Galanos is a renowned love coach, host of The Love Drive podcast, and an expert in teaching intimacy and communication skills. He got his Bachelor's Degree in Interpersonal Communication from UC Santa Barbara and certifications in Personal and Professional Coaching and Rape Crisis Counseling. Shaun has a well-rounded and empathetic approach to relationship coaching. His podcast, The Love Drive, is a treasure trove of insights into love, relationships, and personal growth. In addition to his podcast, Shaun also creates online courses focused on improving relationships through better communication and intimacy skills. When he's not teaching courses on intimacy and communication or recording his podcast, he's continuing to learn about love, working on this relationship with his partner, and building community in Montreal.   [00:01 - 12:20] Shaun's Journey to Sobriety and Self-Discovery   Shaun shares his early struggles with emotional regulation, leading to substance use and ultimately a high-functioning alcoholic lifestyle.  Shaun's turning point came with the realization that alcohol stunted his growth in all life aspects. Shaun Sought therapy and joined AA at the age of 25.  It's easier to stop and stay stopped than it is to stop, start, and stop again    [12:21 - 27:16] Awkward or Natural? Embracing Authentic Connections in Sober Dating Shaun's transition to sobriety wasn't a magic solution. Instead, it was a starting point for genuine self-discovery.  Shaun talks about how he dealt with his big emotions by confiding in many people and dispersing the heaviness of his life transformation. Shaun and Amanda discuss dating sober; their experiences and advice for connecting with aligned people.   Dating sober can feel awkward because we are rewiring our brains to embrace natural experiences.     [27:17 - 33:34] How to Overcome Anxiety When Dating Sober  Anxiety in dating without alcohol is inevitable, confronting it head-on is key.  For most the anxiety doesn't go away so just embrace the awkwardness. It becomes more manageable over time As you date more, your confidence increases, and your reliance on others' opinions decreases. Look for partners who respect and appreciate your sobriety. They should view it as an advantage rather than a drawback.   [33:35 - 44:02] Sober Sex, Hot Takes, Figuring Out Your Values, and Dating App Tips  Shaun stresses the importance of confronting and communicating anxieties, especially in intimate settings.  Sex especially when sober is going to be awkward – That's ok! That's what makes it exciting and special. If you feel anxious about having sex sober, especially if it's new to you, it's ok to communicate that.  Don't get too hung up on attachment styles. Relationships are about growing together. Figure out what values are important to you and then allow both of you to grow together.  Shaun shares his advice on how to get more aligned matches on dating apps by adjusting your profile to be more honest about your lifestyle.     [44:03 - 49:00] Can You Get Sober with a Non-Sober Partner? Choosing sobriety will significantly affect your relationship, especially if you used to drink with your partner. Any huge life change requires an adjustment period  Your decision to go sober can reveal a lot about your partner; It can show you how supportive they are of your wellness or how insecure they might be about their lifestyle. It's important to assess whether a relationship can withstand and support sobriety.   Follow Shaun Galanos!

Physically, professionally, mentally, emotionally, I was stunted, and alcohol was the devil." – Shaun Galanos   "It's easier to stay stopped than it is for me to go back out there and see what it's like again." – Shaun Galanos   “I don't think you realize what drinking is doing to you until it's gone. And then you're like, holy sh*t, that was my solution to a lot of problems that I have, and the problems now are still here. So how are we going to deal with these problems?” – Shaun Galanos   "I don't think that you are going to be able to get rid of the anxiety.

This week we are sharing a pretty epic story from one of our members, Tess! Tess Palma-Martinez is a sound healer and retreat leader who is here to share how she used TBM methods towards creating boundaries, building self-knowledge, and establishing a foundation of trust in the universe to start making gutsy leaps of faith. One of the major lessons in this episode is that when it comes to manifesting a partner, sometimes it feels like it can't happen fast enough. But sometimes relationships are tests and even expanders – ultimately it's about doing the work to know yourself so that you can know how to navigate bumpy roads and even let go if you need to.

Your Insecurity is predictable. Insecure thinking isn't unique to you and so I think you should question it.On this episode, we explore how insecurity plays out in our thinking. Have you had these thoughts?They are so amazing. Why would they want to be with me anyway?I'll be better off on my own.Ugh, they are so needy! It's pathetic.I've ruined everything.If you said yes to any of the above,  listen to this episode it's got some important ideas here for you.On this episode I introduce ideas from Attachment Theory. Attachment theory refers to how people give and receive love and support, how they act when they are emotionally close, or not, with others. I describe the 3 primary styles or strategies in attachment and give examples of how insecure people think based on the book Attached. by Amir Levine.When I read the common thoughts offered by the book, I knew I could question every single one of them. I didn't need to believe them anymore.These insecure thoughts are not true to who you really are. I believe it's your responsibility to become aware of insecure thinking and behavior, and to question them.The Feldenkrais Method®'s Awareness through Movement lessons help you become a highly tuned insecurity detector by reducing tension and cultivating efficient movement.

This series is sponsored by our friends Mira and Daniel Stokar.In this episode of the 18Forty Podcast, we talk to an anonymous guest about infidelity and its consequences and aftermath. Additionally, we receive the expertise of clinical psychologist Dr. Malika Bhowmik, on re-establishing intimacy after violations of trust. We love to tell teshuva stories that have perfect and happy endings, but sometimes the most meaningful teshuva does not fix all of one's problems immediately. In this episode we discuss: What does it mean to save a relationship that can no longer continue?How does one rebuild their religious identity after having their “good guy” image destroyed?Should an unfaithful spouse “come clean,” or should they “bear the brunt of the guilt” in secret?Tune in to hear a conversation about how we can strengthen our essential relationships and revitalize the excitement, joy, and sweetness of our religious lives. Interview with our anonymous guest begins at 16:10.Interview with Dr. Bhowmik begins at 1:49:00.Dr. Malika Bhowmik is a clinical psychologist in private practice, where she works with individuals and couples. Dr. Bhowmik received her doctorate in clinical psychology at the Graduate Center at City University of New York, where she wrote her dissertation on “A Grounded Theory Investigation of the Subjective Responses From Partners in Couples Where Infidelity Has Occurred.” Dr. Bhowmick was mentored by Esther Perel, LMFT, one of the most acclaimed thinkers and therapists on relationships, especially after crisis.

On today's episode I talk about my issues with the book Attached by Amir Levine and Rachel S.F. Heller. I should start by saying I do think there are some positives about this book. But when I first opened it years ago I was very triggered by it and it took me a while to pick it back up. I share about why the book was triggering to me and some of its big misses. I believe its written quite well for one specific attachment style and leaves out the others. Listen today to learn more about why this popular book might not be the best attachment literature for you.Follow Lit AF on Instagram: @itsmesarahcohan.comVisit the Lit AF Website: https://www.sarahcohan.com/Are you interested in creating authentic, strong, and mushy-gushy relationships?

Amir Levine, associate professor of psychiatry at Columbia University and co-author of Attached: The New Science of Adult Attachment and How It Can Help You Find—and Keep—Love, explains the origins and science behind attachment theory and how human bonding is a necessary element “from the moment we are born until we die.”  As infants, humans' bond between mother or caregiver is essential, what Levine calls “a necessary element in our thriving, just as much as food and water.” When those patterns of attachment are formed, they can also carry through into adulthood and impact subsequent bonds and attachments. Attachment theory was pioneered by British psychiatrist and child development specialist John Bowlby, whose research included working with children displaced during The Blitz in WWII London.  “What they noticed [was] even though they were able to give them food and shelter, because there were so many, they didn't pay much attention to engaging with them,” Levine explains. “A lot of these very young infants and kids failed to grow properly and develop.”

Seeming coincidences happen to me often, and again this week, something synergistic got my attention. First, I listened to the Invisibilia podcast where they actually featured another NPR podcast, a show called Life Kit. Dr. Amir Levine was interviewed, who's an expert on attachment theory – and he spoke on how your attachment style can help and/or hinder you from being able to achieve emotional intimacy. At the same time, I received a deeply thought-out question in an email from a listener who was trying to figure out how her identification with perfectly hidden depression and a struggle with intimacy were connected. She stated that she had what's called an “anxious avoidant” attachment style… So that pointed me to the very episode you're going to hear today as we focus in February on relationships. We'll cover the four different types of attachment styles, and how they are created in childhood.  As an adult, they influence what you seek in relationship, what you're comfortable or secure with and what you're not. But your style can also change - and that's what we'll focus on... what you can do about it.  You can also click on a link to a questionnaire in your show notes that's free and you can determine what your own attachment style is currently! Here's the link to the attachment questionnaire!  Click this link! The featured email questions for today are also about PHD – one is how to talk about it with a therapist that you're beginning to see – the second, “How do I know if my work on it is making a difference?” Great questions.
