Why does your spouse get to want things while you're drowning in responsibility? That resentment you feel watching your partner pursue hobbies while you manage everything isn't petty—it reveals what Tony identifies as one of the "fundamental wounds" in modern marriages: the split between duty and desire. Through the story of Sarah and Michael—a couple weeks from divorce—Tony explores how one partner can become a pure, exhausting obligation while the other escapes into hollow pleasures. Both are starving for what the other has, but neither can see it. You'll discover why the "serpent's trick" convinces us that what we want and what we should do are enemies when they were always meant to work together. In this episode, you'll learn: Why feeling like "a machine that keeps everyone running" signals you've lost connection to your own desires—and why reclaiming them is actually part of your duty as a parent and partner The difference between discipline that crushes your soul and discipline that creates freedom (hint: it depends on whether it's aligned with your actual values or just "socially compliant goals") How asking "what can I do to help?" often puts the mental load right back on your overwhelmed spouse. Why Michael's gaming and biking felt hollow even though Sarah assumed he was "living his best life." The concept of impermanence—and why accepting that your beliefs will evolve is liberating, not threatening Tony Overbay, LMFT, draws from over 20 years of couples therapy and 1,500+ couples to share the exact framework that helped Sarah and Michael move from combat to connection.

Marriage compromise is a mutual, collaborative process where partners adjust their preferences, desires, or expectations to find a middle ground, ensuring both feel heard and valued. It involves both individuals sacrificing part of what they want to reach a favorable, shared outcome, rather than one person always giving in.       Approximately 63% to 71% of Americans in relationships consider compromise to be a key factor for a successful, long-term partnership.  According to a survey from YouGov.

We recently received a heartfelt message from a listener whose spouse had an affair. They shared a question many couples face after betrayal: Is it truly possible to forgive? While their spouse has expressed deep remorse and appears sincere, the pain, broken trust, and emotional weight feel overwhelming. They want to move forward, but don't know how, or even if forgiveness is possible.Betrayal in marriage comes in many forms, from seemingly small breaches of trust like a financial mistake, to deeply traumatic experiences like infidelity. No matter the size, betrayal can cause significant short- and long-term damage to intimacy, safety, and connection in a relationship.In this episode of the Ultimate Intimacy Podcast, we welcome back our good friend Austin Ellis to have an honest and compassionate conversation about healing after betrayal. Together, we explore what forgiveness really means (and what it doesn't), why moving on isn't a linear process, and how couples can begin rebuilding trust, whether reconciliation feels possible right now or not.If you or your spouse are navigating the aftermath of betrayal in any form, this episode offers hope, clarity, and practical insight for taking the next step forward to finding Ultimate Intimacy again in your relationship.If you haven't already, go check out the Ultimate Intimacy App in the app stores, or at ultimateintimacy.com to find "Ultimate Intimacy" in your marriage.

Welcome to We Heart Therapy – The EFT Talk Series, where we explore the heart of Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) through meaningful conversations with leaders in the field. In this episode, I'm joined by Dr. Senem Zeytinoğlu, ICEEFT Certified EFT Trainer and Founder of the Turkey Center for EFT in Istanbul, for a rich and thoughtful discussion on Self of the Therapist (SOT) issues in EFT Supervision—and why this work is essential for ethical, effective, and emotionally present EFT practice. Self of the Therapist work helps EFT therapists understand how their own attachment histories, emotional triggers, and nervous system responses show up in clinical work and supervision. Dr. Zeytinoğlu shares how attending to SOT deepens therapist resilience, strengthens the therapeutic alliance, and ultimately leads to better outcomes for couples and individuals.

Comments or feedback? Send us a text! Empathy is widely viewed as the cornerstone of effective therapy—but what if we've been misunderstanding it all along?In this episode, Dr. Pete Kelly sits down with Dr. Douglas Flemons, to discuss his new book Empathic Engagement in Clinical Practice. Flemons challenges the common assumption that empathy is something therapists simply have, reframing it instead as something we do—moment by moment, in relationship.Together, they explore empathy as an active, relational process; unpack the critical distinctions between empathy, sympathy, and compassion; and examine why well-intentioned empathic efforts can sometimes miss the mark or even undermine the therapeutic alliance. The conversation also addresses therapist burnout, emotional boundaries, and how clinicians can engage deeply with clients without overidentifying or becoming emotionally depleted.This episode is essential listening for clinicians who want to refine their relational skills, strengthen therapeutic presence, and practice empathy in a way that is both clinically effective and personally sustainable.

Steve Jobs once said you can't connect the dots looking forward—you can only connect them looking backward. In this episode, Michelle and Scott explore what that really means, not as a motivational slogan, but as a lived psychological truth: how meaning is constructed in retrospect, how present choices rarely reveal their significance in real time, and how trust becomes part of the architecture of becoming. Uncover what patterns only became visible in hindsight. What moments quietly reshaped direction. And how the past year might be telling a different story than the one we all experienced while living it. If you've ever wondered whether your experiences are leading anywhere—or whether they'll ever make sense—this conversation offers a way to look back that isn't nostalgic, regretful, or self-critical, but integrative.Keeping Your Sh*t Together in a Stressed World is a podcast hosted by Michelle Post, MA, LMFT and Scott Grossberg, JD, CLC, CCH, NLP, and is 30 minutes of raw, irreverent, and results-oriented discussion with one purpose in mind . . . to help you cope, thrive, and survive the craziness that's going on in the world.As a reminder, our “Get Your Sh*t Together” Home Retreat can be found here:http://thinkingmagically.com/retreatReplays of prior episodes can be found at:https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/scott-grossbergYou can also join our Facebook group:https://www.facebook.com/groups/keepingystMichelle Post can be reached at michelle@postinternationalinc.com http://postinternationalinc.com

302 - "The Compass Within: Setting Intentions That Actually Feel True"So much of what we call “intention-setting” ends up sounding like goal setting in disguise—ambitious, external, and strangely disconnected from how we actually live. In this episode, Michelle and Scott explore a quieter approach: how to set intentions that feel true rather than impressive. Why the body often knows what the mind tries to override. And how clarity doesn't come from pushing forward, but from listening inward. This isn't about perfect plans or future-proofing your life. It's about orientation—learning to recognize the inner signals that guide you when circumstances change. If you've ever set intentions that looked right on paper but never quite landed in real life, this conversation offers a more grounded, honest way to navigate what comes next.Keeping Your Sh*t Together in a Stressed World is a podcast hosted by Michelle Post, MA, LMFT and Scott Grossberg, JD, CLC, CCH, NLP, and is 30 minutes of raw, irreverent, and results-oriented discussion with one purpose in mind . . . to help you cope, thrive, and survive the craziness that's going on in the world.As a reminder, our “Get Your Sh*t Together” Home Retreat can be found here:http://thinkingmagically.com/retreatReplays of prior episodes can be found at:https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/scott-grossbergYou can also join our Facebook group:https://www.facebook.com/groups/keepingystMichelle Post can be reached at michelle@postinternationalinc.com http://postinternationalinc.com

Can you be grateful while grieving? Should you even try? In this episode, licensed marriage and family therapist Adam Cross tackles one of the most challenging tensions in Catholic spiritual life: how to honor our grief while maintaining gratitude for God's goodness. Drawing on Scripture, theological insights from Father Raniero Cantalamessa and Dr. Shan Tobin, and his clinical experience, Adam explores: Why "just be grateful" advice can feel dismissive (even when well-intentioned) The biblical story of St. Paul singing hymns in prison How God became man to suffer with us, not just console us from a distance The connection between Mary's trust and her joy Practical ways to hold space for both grief and gratitude in your own life and with others This isn't about dismissing pain or forcing positivity. It's about recognizing that grief and gratitude aren't mutually exclusive but can exist together as we wait for God's resurrection in our lives.

Episode 301 - "The Art of Enough: Escaping the Productivity Trap"We live in a culture that quietly teaches us there is always more to optimize, improve, or accomplish—and that rest, satisfaction, or “enough” must be earned. But what if that story is costing us more than it gives? In this episode, Michelle and Scott explore the psychology behind the productivity trap: why doing more often feels safer than doing what matters, how constant optimization erodes clarity, and why the nervous system mistakes busyness for worth. This isn't a rejection of ambition or meaningful work. It's a reframing of how we relate to effort, value, and completion. If you've ever felt productive but oddly unfulfilled—or successful but never finished—this conversation offers a steadier way to step out of the cycle and reconnect with the art of enough.Keeping Your Sh*t Together in a Stressed World is a podcast hosted by Michelle Post, MA, LMFT and Scott Grossberg, JD, CLC, CCH, NLP, and is 30 minutes of raw, irreverent, and results-oriented discussion with one purpose in mind . . . to help you cope, thrive, and survive the craziness that's going on in the world.As a reminder, our “Get Your Sh*t Together” Home Retreat can be found here:http://thinkingmagically.com/retreatReplays of prior episodes can be found at:https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/scott-grossbergYou can also join our Facebook group:https://www.facebook.com/groups/keepingystMichelle Post can be reached at michelle@postinternationalinc.com http://postinternationalinc.com

In this episode of Shoulders Down Podcast, Leah talks with therapist and certified intuitive eating counselor, Libby Supan, about her 15 years in Overeaters Anonymous (OA) — and why she ultimately believes the program worsened her eating disorder rather than healed it.Libby shares how OA's abstinence-based model, the idea of food and sugar addiction, and rigid sponsorship dynamics fueled binge eating, shame, and co-dependency. Together, Leah and Libby unpack the concept of “fat serenity,” the fatphobia embedded in the OA ethos, and why abstinence backfires.Libby also explains how eating disorder treatment and intuitive eating helped her rebuild trust with her body, move away from restriction, and find a more sustainable path to recovery.You'll hear about:What Overeaters Anonymous (OA) is and how it worksThe link between abstinence, restriction, and binge eatingWhy the Food addiction model is inherently flawedSponsorship, power dynamics, and co-dependency in OA“Fat serenity” & fatphobia in the OA communityHow Libby left OA after 15 years and found true healing Mentioned in the episode:https://leahkernrd.com/are-you-addicted-to-sugar/More From Libby:Website: https://www.libbysupan.com/More From Leah:

Welcome to the Leading Edge in Emotionally Focused Therapy, hosted by Drs. James Hawkins, Ph.D., LPC, and Ryan Rana, Ph.D., LMFT, LPC—Renowned ICEEFT Therapists, Supervisors, and Trainers. We're thrilled to have you with us. We believe this podcast, a valuable resource, will empower you to push the boundaries in your work, helping individuals and couples connect more deeply with themselves and each other. In this episode of Finally the Big Show – Step 7: The Hidden Need, James Hawkins and Ryan Rana dive into one of the most paradoxical moves in EFT: helping clients access and ask for their deepest attachment needs.   They explore why secure attachment is all about needs, yet why going for need too early is a clinical trap that invites blame, reactivity, and the negative cycle to take over. Using rich metaphors—from ER triage to math progression to “ESPN tickers from hell”—they walk you through how to seed need from the very beginning, how to recognize when couples are truly ready (double greens), and how to move from hypothetical “someday” needs to live, in‑the‑room Step 7 enactments.   Episode Highlights - Why “need” is both central and dangerous     - Secure attachment = meeting needs through responsiveness and caregiving.     - But in Stage 1, asking “What do you need?” usually invites blame and negative model of other (“I need my partner to do their work”).   - The developmental order: don't jump to trigonometry     - Needs work in Step 7 is like trig/calculus; Stage 1 work is basic math.     - You can't skip the progression: tracking the cycle, working blocks, primary emotion, softening/acceptance, then deepest need. - Seeding need long before Step 7     - Use language like, “This is what your heart needed here…” throughout Stage 1.     - By the time you explicitly go for need, it should have been seeded dozens of times. - Double green lights and safety conditions     - Only consider Step 7 when both partners are “double green”: open, present, non‑reactive.     - This is the one place Ryan will not enact into a block; the caregiving response must be highly likely to land. - Pre‑7: loading reluctance to reach     - Use a “7A / pre‑seven” move: enact the fear of reaching (“In this place I feel so gross, I don't deserve comfort”).     - This both crystallizes the sufferer's dilemma and awakens the caregiver to what's really at stake. - How to actually load the need     - James' path:       - Strong use of self (embody and mirror pain).       - Slow, detailed evoking in the body (“Where do you feel this right now?”).       - Gentle curiosity: “If we could listen to that part of you, what would it cry out for right here, right now?”     - Ryan's path:       - Use guided hypotheticals (e.g., next Tuesday in the kitchen after a bad day).       - Ask, “Your partner really sees you in that place and comes to you—what would they say or do that would ease this pain?”       - Then re‑enter the present so it becomes an in‑the‑room enactment, not just a fantasy. - From hypothetical to live Step 7 enactment     - The key is reentry: “Can we let that need be here now, in your body, in this room? Could you turn and ask your partner for that right now?”     - If it stays hypothetical (“It would be nice if someday you could…”), it's not Step 7.Using attachment history as a compass     - Draw on earlier assessment work:       - Who felt safe?       - How did people respond when you were in pain?       - What would you say now to the younger you who was hurting?     - Those answers often preview the exact Step 7 need (e.g., “You're okay, buddy, just like you are”). - Normalizing “I don't know” and therapist awkwardness     - “I don't know what I need” is not a block; it's exactly where years of defense have left them.     - Therapists don't have to be smooth; they have to be slow, thoughtful, and present.     - A caregiver saying, “I don't know what to say, but I'm here,” can be a beautiful A.R.E. response. - Training and community notes     - Core Skills 3 & 4 in Huntington, WV (Jan 15–17, 2026).     - Externship in Virginia Beach, VA (Sept 15–18, 2026) with repeaters at 50% off.     We aim to equip therapists with practical tools and encouragement for addressing relational distress.

Many women ages 35–55 describe this stage of life as feeling like they are suddenly falling apart. Patience disappears, tolerance drops, exhaustion deepens, sleep becomes disrupted, emotions feel closer to the surface, and the body often hurts more than it used to. For sensitive, autistic, and neurodivergent women, this experience can feel especially intense and confusing.In this episode, Julie Bjelland, LMFT, explores what is really happening beneath the surface. She explains how perimenopause and menopause affect the brain, nervous system, sleep, pain, and stress tolerance, why estrogen plays such a critical role, and why hormone testing often fails to capture what women are actually experiencing. Julie also discusses the widespread lack of menopause education among doctors, why women are so often dismissed or prescribed antidepressants instead of receiving hormone-informed care, and what current research is saying about hormone therapy.This episode also explores why midlife can become a “perfect storm” for sensitive, autistic, and ADHD women, why masking often becomes unsustainable, and why so many women discover they are autistic during this stage of life. Julie shares why autism identification is often the missing piece that brings relief, compassion, and clarity, why standardized assessments frequently miss high-masking women, and how neurodiversity-affirming assessments can support deeper self-understanding.If you've been wondering why everything suddenly feels harder, this episode offers validation, education, and hope. You are not broken. Your nervous system is responding to real biological and neurological changes, and understanding what's happening can be the first step toward relief and more compassionate support.

Episode 300 - "Begin Again: The Psychology of Fresh Starts"Fresh starts are often misunderstood. They don't usually arrive with clarity, confidence, or a clean slate—they arrive after fatigue, disappointment, and change. In this milestone episode, Michelle and Scott explore the psychology of beginning again: why starting over can feel harder than continuing, how the brain resists new beginnings even when we crave them, and why real change rarely starts with motivation. This is a grounded conversation about permission, not pressure—and about choosing to step forward with honesty rather than hype. If you've felt the pull to begin again, this episode offers a calmer, more compassionate way to do just that.Keeping Your Sh*t Together in a Stressed World is a podcast hosted by Michelle Post, MA, LMFT and Scott Grossberg, JD, CLC, CCH, NLP, and is 30 minutes of raw, irreverent, and results-oriented discussion with one purpose in mind . . . to help you cope, thrive, and survive the craziness that's going on in the world.As a reminder, our “Get Your Sh*t Together” Home Retreat can be found here:http://thinkingmagically.com/retreatReplays of prior episodes can be found at:https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/scott-grossbergYou can also join our Facebook group:https://www.facebook.com/groups/keepingystMichelle Post can be reached at michelle@postinternationalinc.com http://postinternationalinc.com

Drawing on attachment theory and years of EFT training experience, they explore “caregiving nightmares”—those predictable moments when a partner can't respond with comfort, even when their loved one is wide open and reaching. They unpack how pursuers and withdrawers each bring their attachment strategies into the caregiving role: withdrawers often “loan out their avoidance” as a form of love, and pursuers “up the ante” as their way of fighting for the bond. Rather than shaming these moves or bypassing them to “get to the heart,” James and Ryan show how to move toward the blocks themselves as emotional material, validating the attachment logic inside them and using structured, attuned interventions to help partners reclaim their caregiving systems. With rich clinical examples, regulation strategies for therapists, and practical language you can use tomorrow, this episode helps you trust the process, trust the caregiving system, and stay with the red lights long enough for new attachment experiences to emerge. Main Points from the Episode Framing: “Caregiving Nightmares” & Red Lights  - Focus on stage 2 / step 6 caregiving positions, and the “back half” of vulnerable enactments.    - The “red light” is the blocked caregiving system: the partner can't offer simple comfort even when they want to. Predictable Attachment Patterns in Caregiving  - Withdrawers as caregivers:    - “Loan out their avoidance” or self-reliance: advice, positivity, “be comfortable in your own skin.”      - This is a form of love and responsiveness, but often misattuned.    - Pursuers as caregivers:      - “Up the ante”: test, push, or kick the tires on vulnerability (“it's just words,” “you only do this in here”).      - Driven by hope and fear of being dropped again. Therapist Regulation & Preparation  - Pre‑regulate before couples sessions; expect blocks as part of the process, not a failure.  - If the therapist dysregulates, you now have three protection systems in the room. Working with Withdrawer Red Lights  - Steps:    1. Regulate yourself.        2. Offer an attuned, assertive interruption (contain the cycle).        3. Give 3–5 concrete validations of the withdrawer's strategy as attachment‑driven care.        4. Reframe the strategy's attachment function (“this is how you love/protect”).        5. Then gently move toward the part that wants to reach.      - Don't bypass the strategy; work with it as emotional material. Working with Pursuer Red Lights  - Normalize that pursuers often lash out or test the first vulnerabilities they've begged for.    - Validate their vision, hope, and fight for the relationship (3–5 validations).      - Help them notice their somatic/empathic response to the partner's pain (1% of reach or comfort).      - Avoid shaming language like “you're going to your head.” Use of Numbers & Repetition  - “Magic” 3–5 validations to regulate a nervous system.    - Sue Johnson's idea: clients often don't really hear you until about the 5th repetition. Tourniquets & Sender Protection  - After a strong send + strong red light, layer tourniquets on the sender so they:    - Feel caught and not blamed.        - Are reinforced to risk again.      - Never make the sender give up their experience just to soothe the blocked caregiver. Trusting the Caregiving System  - Leanne Campbell's idea: trusting the process = trusting the caregiving system.    - People do know how to care; the cycle paralyzes access.      - Our job is to create conditions for that caregiving instinct to re‑emerge experientially. Hope, Respect, and Attachment Change  - Both pursuer protest and withdrawer avoidance are hopeful, survival strategies.    - Change often comes through “begrudging respect”: seeing a partner fight their old pattern for the relationship.
