Beyond the Sessions is answering YOUR parenting questions! In this episode, Dr. Rebecca Hershberg, Dr. Emily Upshur, and I talk about...     How do you know when to encourage your child to stick with an activity versus when it's okay to let them step away? Does your approach change if the activity is a team sport versus an individual activity? What are effective ways to talk to your partner about these concerns without triggering defensiveness or shutting down the conversation? How sibling dynamics along with parental expectations can influence a child's interests and shape their developing identity. A helpful phrase you can use that may reduce some of the pressure and urgency, leading to lessened friction and tension between your partner and child.       ADDITIONAL PODCAST EPISODES YOU MAY LIKE:

Romantic relationships are sacred, powerful, and life-giving. But I don't have to tell you how difficult it is to love and let yourself be loved.Marriage and family therapist Dr. Terry Hargrave has been helping couples in crisis restore broken relationships for decades, teaching them how to get unstuck, improve communication, and move beyond destructive coping mechanisms—to find reciprocity, self-affirming confidence, emotional regulation, and a joyful, lasting love.In a world marked by loneliness, disconnection, and emotional dysregulation, Hargrave offers powerful insights on the human need for identity, safety, and belonging—and how we can heal the wounds that keep us stuck. Drawing on decades of therapeutic experience and deep personal reflection, Hargrave explains how coping mechanisms like blame, shame, control, and escape can damage relationships—and how the peace cycle of nurture, self-valuing, balanced give-and-take, and connection can restore wholeness. He discusses his unique approach to the healing and restorative power of relationships, which lifts us up to our potential, encouraging us toward a nurturing, self-valuing, non-controlling reciprocity, and true connection.In this conversation with Terry Hargrave, we discuss:How to turn around a relationship in crisis and get off the emotional rollercoasterHow to build security and trust in order to improve or repair a marriage or long-term relationshipCoping mechanisms of blame, shame, control, and escapePractical steps to learn emotional self-regulationWhat to do when only one partner is working on a relationshipThe role of the brain and neuroplasticity in relational repairAnd the spiritual underpinnings of Terry's approach to restoration therapyEpisode Highlights"It don't mean a thing if you ain't got that swing—until you claim your belovedness for yourself, nothing will change.""Relationships are a mirror—we discover who we are through how others see us.""Blame, shame, control, and escape—nothing good comes from these coping mechanisms.""Understanding doesn't produce change. Doing produces change.""When we nurture, self-value, connect, and cooperate, unleashed joy happens.""Thriving is doing more of your best self, not learning something new."Helpful Links and ResourcesRestoration Therapy Training ResourcesThe Mindful Marriage by Ron Deal and Nan Deal (with Terry and Sharon Hargrave)Five Days to a New Self by Terry HargraveEmotionally Focused Therapy and Sue Johnson's LegacyShow NotesIntroduction to Terry Hargrave and the importance of Restoration Therapy today"We are still the same humans, but with a bigger pipe of problems and fewer emotional connections."Emotional dysregulation linked to identity and safety threatsRelationships as a mirror to the self and necessary for human thriving"For there to be a me, there has to be a thou."Why relationships are difficult: imperfection, wounding, and unmet needsHow family of origin wounds influence coping styles"Families don't mean to screw each other up, but somehow they manage to."Introduction of the four major unhealthy coping mechanisms: blame, shame, control, and escapeHow overachievement, perfectionism, and withdrawal are survival strategies from early wounding"Your greatest strength might actually be an old coping habit getting in the way of intimacy."The relational signs that coping mechanisms are damaging relationshipsHealing through self-regulation: speaking truth to yourself with love"Put your hand on your heart and remind yourself of who you really are."The difference between co-regulation and self-regulation in emotional healingRestoration Therapy's peace cycle: nurture, self-value, balance, connection"Nothing good comes from blame, shame, control, or escape."The role of practice and neuroplasticity in forming new relational habits"Doing, not just understanding, is what rewires the brain."How thriving relationships move from neediness to adventurous partnershipIntimacy as knowing yourself more fully through connection, not just need satisfactionCooperative growth and mutual flourishing as hallmarks of thrivingApplication of restoration principles to broader societal healing and reconciliation"Unleashed joy happens when we choose nurture and connection, even with adversaries."The critical role of faith in affirming belovedness and ultimate identity"Everyone else and even God can tell you you're beloved—but you have to claim it for yourself."Practical advice for knowing when to seek therapyWhere to find Restoration Therapy-trained therapistsResources for learning more: Mindful Marriage and other Restoration Therapy booksThe key takeaways that I will carry with me from this conversation are the following:You can change. Your relationship can change. But it takes a daily practice of hard work to create lasting change.And though you might fail, there is hope that you can begin again.Our coping mechanisms are not superpowers. They hurt us and the people we love.Understanding is not enough. Action and behavior has to follow for change to occur.[Any others?] It takes two to tango, but that doesn't get you off the hook from doing the work on yourself.And finally, a thriving relationship creates joy all around it, within a family, in a community, and it shows how personal relationships can change society.About Terry HargraveDr. Terry Hargrave.

Is it therapy? Is it television? Is it both? Noah and Aidan love watching reality shows you're curious about but may not want to invest actual time in. This week, the duo dives deep into VH1's *Family Therapy with Dr. Jenn* (2016) which was a chaotic, emotional, and often unhinged experiment in televised healing similar to Couples Therapy or Marriage Boot Camp. From Tiffany “New York” Pollard and Sister Patterson's mother-daughter warfare to Bam Margera's post-Jackass unraveling, the show brings together celebrity family units for group therapy sessions that are part breakthrough, part spectacle. Aidan and Noah unpack the show's wildest moments, the surprisingly touching sibling arcs, and Dr. Jenn's signature therapy techniques (including rage rooms, bracelet affirmations, and emotional photo analysis). They also address the shows' lukewarm ratings, its place in VH1's golden age of reality TV, and whether anyone actually got healed.

Couples therapy is often seen as the fix for relationship problems, but what if it actually makes things worse? In this episode, we unpack why traditional couples therapy or marriage counseling might not work unless deeper emotional wounds are addressed first.We explore how unresolved attachment trauma, unmet childhood needs, and inner child work play a major role in how we show up in romantic relationships. You'll hear how unconscious expectations, coping patterns, and childhood experiences silently sabotage even the most well-intentioned communication tools.If you're considering couples counseling, or feel like it hasn't helped, you'll walk away with a clearer understanding of why healing must start individually, and what needs to happen before therapy can actually work.– Resources: Lavinia's Making Peace with Your Past signature holistic healing programme: https://www.laviniabrown.com/making-peace-with-your-pastAndrew's 1-1 RESET Coaching Programme: https://www.andrewlynn.netBook a Deep Dive Relationship Recovery Session: https://calendly.com/d/ck3y-gzt-kbc/3hr-deep-dive-relationship-recovery-session–

With pepper beers, food provides a lot of inspiration. For today's beer from OB Brewery it was the want to make the perfect "taco beer" and they did it in a very sneaky way.

The Relationship RESET: How to Attract, Reconnect, and Thrive in LOVE with Marriage and Family Therapist, Author, Podcaster, Dene Logan

The Happy Hustle Podcast

What if everything you've learned about love and relationships is only scratching the surface?Let's be real—today's dating and relationship landscape is confusing AF. With tech distractions, shifting roles, and a world that's constantly hustling, finding deep, meaningful connections feels more complicated than ever. Masculine and feminine energies are out of whack. Men feel unsure of their roles. Women are rising into power, and society hasn't quite caught up with how to balance it all.That's why I had to bring Dene Logan to The Happy Hustle Podcast. Dene is a licensed marriage and family therapist, an author, and a podcaster who's been in the trenches helping couples figure this stuff out. And in this episode, we unpack everything you're not being taught about relationships, self-discovery, and the energies that shape your love life.This convo goes way beyond “relationship advice.” We talked about the deep stuff—how people are seeking fulfillment outside themselves, how modern dynamics have shifted, and why couples often wait until things fall apart before asking for help. Dené broke down how self-awareness and healing are the real secrets to attracting the right partner. And she even dropped some wisdom about celibacy being a tool for growth, which, let's be honest, most people aren't even thinking about when they're out there swiping left and right.One thing that hit home was how love has been devalued in today's hustle culture. We chase money, success, followers—but forget that relationships are sacred. Dene reminded us: real relationships require intention, mindfulness, and communication. Not just when things go bad—but every damn day.We also got into some fire convo around masculine and feminine energy—and before you roll your eyes or think it's all woo-woo, listen up. These energies aren't about gender. They exist in all of us. The masculine craves direction, purpose, and trust. The feminine wants to be seen, to feel flow, and to be held in presence. The problem is, most of us were never taught how to honor and balance both.So now we've got dudes confused about how to show up. Women stepping into their power and getting labeled “too much.” And couples who love each other, but feel disconnected because no one taught them how to communicate their needs and hold space for each other's growth.Dene and I also touched on the sneaky issues wrecking intimacy these days—like porn addiction, lack of presence, and trying to force traditional roles that don't work anymore. It's wild, man. In a world where you can connect with anyone instantly, more people than ever feel alone. And the truth is, community and honest, face-to-face connections are the antidote.One of the things I loved most about this convo is that it's not about being perfect. It's about being conscious. Dené says the couples who make it long-term aren't the ones who avoid conflict—they're the ones who keep showing up with curiosity, gratitude, and a willingness to grow. Instead of nitpicking your partner's flaws, focus on what they do well. Watch how fast the energy shifts when appreciation becomes the default.She also reminded me that longevity in a relationship doesn't equal success. Just because you've been together for 10 years doesn't mean you're aligned or fulfilled. Real success is about shared vision, mutual respect, and daily efforts to connect, not coasting through out of habit or fear.We even got into how celibacy, for some, can be a reset. A way to cut the noise and figure out what you want, who you are, and what kind of energy you're bringing to the table. It's not about punishment—it's about powerful clarity.And you know I had to ask her about what makes love last. Her answer? Growth. If you're not growing, together or individually, the relationship stalls. Personal development fuels relational development. And when both people are doing their inner work? That's when the magic happens.This episode is a must-listen if you're an entrepreneur trying to build your empire and nurture a meaningful relationship at the same time. Because the truth is—you can't pour into your business if your personal life is draining you. And honestly, what's all that success for if you don't have anyone to share it with?So if you're tired of surface-level connections… if you're wondering why the spark is fading… or if you're just ready to understand how to show up more powerfully in your relationships—this episode is your guide.We get into the juicy stuff—real stories, practical insights, and tools you can use right now to deepen intimacy, grow through challenges, and stay aligned with your truth.It's time to bring more depth, more awareness, and more sacredness into your relationships. Because love isn't a distraction from the hustle—it's the fuel that keeps your soul in the game. In this episode, we cover:00:00 Introduction to Love and Relationships04:30 Understanding Masculine and Feminine Energies11:10 Navigating Modern Relationship Dynamics18:43 The Importance of Self-Discovery in Relationships24:30 Attracting the Right Partner in Today's World27:44 Reconnecting in Relationships34:00 Navigating Relationship Changes39:40 The Importance of Mindfulness in Relationships45:00 Gratitude and Appreciation in Love52:00 The Essence of Happy Hustlin'What does happy Hustlin mean to you? Dene says Happy Hustlin is just really trusting that whatever is meant for me will not miss me. So as long as I'm in alignment with following my bliss, normally everything that I'm meant to experience comes to fruition.

One or both feel like they aren't being heard. When one or both try to end it but struggle to. Where do you go from here? Ask yourself is this worth fighting for? Block out the noise and the observation of other's relationships and focus on what centers you both. If you're looking for longevity, why? Don't base it off of parents or grandparents because you'll probably never know their struggles to stay. Time periods were different as well. Are you enough?
