Podcasts about Couples therapy

“Are we at a point of no return?”This is a question many couples arrive at, at one point or another. One of the most common things that I've found can mess up any kind of relationship is communication and its challenges. When we struggle to convey our thoughts and feelings effectively, what can start as a small misunderstanding can snowball into something way more significant. Another thing is trust. It is the foundation for intimacy and vulnerability, and it's super fragile. Even just the fear of betrayal can break down our trust, leading to insecurity in the relationship. When this is fractured, it seems so challenging to repair. Another relatively common challenge is growing apart, both emotionally and physically. Whether it's because of work, having kids and never having time for each other, or just a change in interests… when we feel we've drifted apart, we can end up feeling like strangers. MDMA assisted couples therapy can help, particularly at the crossroads where we may have already tried many other avenues and wonder if it's possible to heal. I think there's also potential benefit for prevention, but that's a topic for another time;) These sessions can help promote healing and growth, improve communication, and address our own personal traumas so they don't continue to shake the foundations of our relationships. MDMA was popularized during the rave scene and is known for being a recreational party drug - you may know it by its street names, Molly or Ecstasy. But it also holds profound therapeutic potential when it's used in the right context. Why? At its core, MDMA possesses two distinctive properties that make it uniquely suited for couples therapy:  Empathogenic, which means that it opens the doors of emotional connection and trust, allowing us to see the world from our partner's perspective.  Entactogenic encourages a deep connection with one's own emotions and thoughts, promoting self-reflection and self-acceptance. In couples therapy, this allows the individual to better understand their own feelings and how they relate to their partner's. When taken in a therapeutic context, MDMA helps us explore our emotions and gives us access to deeper layers of healing. It provides a unique window of opportunity for couples in particular to delve deep into their emotions, past experiences, and relationship dynamics, with less negative impact. MDMA-assisted therapy also provides a unique opportunity to address past traumas that may have been affecting the relationship. Individuals often report that they can confront and process these traumas more effectively during therapy sessions, leading to emotional healing and closure. They can also share past traumas with their partners more effectively. That emotional clarity, empathy, and sense of safety can be a game-changer, allowing couples to address issues, express their feelings, and develop a deeper understanding of each other. Whaaat??? I know, right? There's also the geeky neuroscience part.  The short version is that it activates 3 of the brain's key neurotransmitters, which helps us safely connect with our feelings and the feelings of our partner, and tap into the connection that exists when our old habits and emotional walls/armor are softened.  It encourages us to actively engage in and tackle the difficult conversations, being able to tolerate difficult emotions more effectively. Another bonus is studies have shown that the effects of MDMA-assisted couples therapy tend to last LONG after it's all over - especially when couples continue to do the work after there sessions are done (= INTEGRATION!). As we continue to study the field of MDMA-assisted therapy, we can expect to understand even more about how it can benefit a wide range of couples, allowing this approach to become more accessible too (it's only approved for research… for now). I also dive into how it's not for everyone, or every circumstance. In the full episode, I dive into how sessions are structured and the pivotal role of therapists is key to the transformative power of this approach, so be sure to check that out, beause in this model, they aren't just facilitators in this type of therapy - they're emotional guides who accompany couples on their journey (not with the medicine though ;). Like I said earlier, this isn't a magic pill or a one-size-fits-all kind of gig. I want to re-emphasize the importance of integration. We need to do what we can to hold on to the insights we've had in the therapy, because reverting back to the old self and habits is very common in any transformational process. We need to continue to cultivate that skill set by receiving ongoing therapy and support so that we can embody the insights and energetic shifts needed for our new paradigm to take hold. When - not if - we make a mistake and revert back to old patterns, it's important to forgive ourselves and not get stuck in regret, self-judgment, and guilt. Integration support and self-compassion help us to not drop back into a shame cycle that's so common in this very human, non-linear process . While MDMA-assisted couples therapy may not be the right fit for every couple, its potential to heal and provide hope is clear. At the risk of sounds cheesy, I think the couple's that continue to have hope and seek out alternative therapies are a testament to the human spirit's capacity for healing, growth, and connection - and the capacity couples can have for navigating the turbulent seas of modern love, which seems to be getting more complicated by the day! You will learn:// The three common areas challenged in a relationship, and what happens when any of them breaks down// The truth about MDMA and its therapeutic potential - in addressing the three areas above, too!// The importance of using MDMA in the correct context and structure// How MDMA can help address past traumas that affect our current relationships// What the future holds for MDMA-assisted couples therapy// The most important step in MDMA- assisted couples therapy for lasting results Resources:// Episode 97: Psychedelics and Spiritual Practice // Episode 153: Psychedelic Exceptionalism // If you want to dive into this level of healing with a small group of self-identified womyn, having plant medicine retreats in Alaska and Hawaii, adventures in nature and learning more about your mind and your deeper Soul Purpose, visit AdventureMastermind.com to get on the waitlist to be the first to hear about the next dates and locations.

We go over the following.. “What are some of the most common mistakes you see lesbian couples making? Both at the start of a relationship or in a more established one?” "Do you think all couples would benefit from couples counseling/therapy or ONLY those with relationship struggles/issues?" "Is the U-Haul joke/rumor true and what do you advise couples who move quickly in a relationship do? Should they follow their hearts or put the brakes on things?"

How do you remember something important, something memorable, something you never want to forget? Hopefully you start a tradition or take a piece of that experience with you into the future that will always bring you back to that time, that moment. In the Old Testament God's people would build an altar as a way of acknowledging God's existence  in their lives but also acknowledge His help in whatever they had accomplished. When it comes to God in marriage, how can couples do the same? How do you build a spiritual altar in your marriage so you never forget God and you never forget what He has done for you?Join hosts Travis and Dawn Rosinger as they share some uniquely funny experiences that caused them to think about how they need to continue to build a spiritual altar in their marriage. They also share tips they wished someone would have shared with them when they first started out in marriage.

I've said it before, and I'll say it again: Great relationships aren't built in a day. Great relationships are built daily. While date nights and vacations are wonderful, either we don't do those often enough to keep emotional intimacy going, or there's so much pressure to have fun and connect they can do the opposite. What's the answer? Instead of focusing on date nights, focus on daily micro-connections to create real connection and closeness. Today, I'm sharing my top 10 micro-connection tips, so stay tuned!  ____________________________ Full blog and show notes: https://abbymedcalf.com/instead-of-date-nights-work-on-micro-connections Want to feel happier and more connected in your relationship?

On today's episode, I talk to Norman Blake and Raymond McGinley of Teenage Fanclub. Emerging from the Scottish C86 scene of the 1980s, Teenage Fanclub formed out of the ashes of their previous group The Boy Hairdressers. While they immediately garnered positive reviews with their first few albums, released in America on Matador, it was with their third album Bandwagonesque that they broke through to a wider audience. In the thirty-some-odd years since, they've never lost that original creative spark, releasing nine more fantastic albums, and their latest, Nothing Lasts Forever, will be released next month on Merge Records.

In today's episode, we'll be discussing the challenges you might be presented with if you experience your partner's parents as being too present in your relationship. Conversely you may be frustrated by your partner's complaints about your own close relationship with your parents. It's not uncommon for parents to be involved in their adult child's life, but what happens when their involvement becomes intrusive or overbearing or if there is disagreement in your relationship about the appropriate amount of time that should be set aside for contact with the parents. We'll explore the reasons why some parents may be overly involved in their child's relationship, and the impact that this can have on the couple. We'll also discuss strategies for setting boundaries and managing the situation in a way that supports the health and well-being of all parties involved. Join us as we delve into the complexities of navigating a relationship when your partner's parents are too present, and gain a deeper understanding of how to cultivate healthy boundaries and autonomy in your connection with your partner. Whether you're struggling with this issue in your own relationship or simply interested in learning more about this common challenge, this episode is packed with valuable insights and practical tips for navigating the ups and downs of modern love.What is your argument style?

Sometimes everything is not exactly what it seems. Yes, you could be tired and irritable, your spouse could have gotten a bad night's sleep, your neighbor could be being snarky, and your work situation could be just people not getting along. But at other times, it's possible that there is something more going on just below the surface.  How much of our world is simply challenging or difficult and how much of our world is negative and disappointment that comes as a result of living on a battlefield between good and evil. Could our marriages, our families and our faith be constantly under assault by a dark force that doesn't want us to choose God and love others?  Join hosts Travis and Dawn Rosinger as Travis shares a very real and raw story about how God used a negative experience to bring a deeper level of spiritual awakening to his faith. This experience taught them to be even more aware of spiritual landmines and the strategy of the enemy and to fight even harder to protect their marriage and faith! This is a powerful episode that is sure to encourage you to fight to be closer to God!Travis and Dawn Rosinger are the Loving The Fight Marriage Podcast Hosts and Authors of the books, Verbalosity - 7 Steps to a Verbally Generous and More Fulfilling Marriage and their newest book, Gripping -  What Matters Most | A Life and Relationships That Hold on to YouFor more information about Travis and Dawn Rosinger go to Loving The Fight

Click here to learn more about The Couples Therapist Inner Circle In this episode I spoke with Rachel Dorneanu about doing Premarital Counseling. In my mind this doesn't have to mean people are intending to get married, but has become more of a term to describe people in the beginning phases of their relationship.  Sometimes the issues people are facing in the beginning phases are similar to anyone else in their relationships, but there are some very specific things that tend to be helpful for couples during this time. It is really important for couples to have the ability to communicate their boundaries, speak their truth with respect, and make agreements about what they want in the relationship. Premarital Counseling can be helpful for people to think of topics they may not have even thought to discuss. Rachel has a premarital counseling training coming up on Aug. 26. If you are interested in finding out more click the link: Prepare Enrich Facilitator Training. The Couples Therapist Couch is the podcast for Couples Therapists about the practice of couples therapy.

Love bombing gets a lot of attention and is usually discussed alongside narcissism or when we discuss trauma bonding. But what I've seen more often in my over 35 years of experience is something I call Attention Flooding, which can look like love bombing, but its origins are actually from codependency and feelings of low self-worth. Today I'm teaching you the difference between love bombing and Attention Flooding, the signs to look for, and my top three tips for building healthier and more fulfilling relationships based on mutual respect and genuine affection. ____________________________ Full blog and show notes: https://abbymedcalf.com/is-it-love-bombing-or-codependent-affection-flooding Grab my FREE Mindfulness Starter Kit: https://abbymedcalf.com/product/mindfulness-starter-kit/ ____________________________ Want to feel happier and more connected in your relationship?
