In This Episode: Why "trauma bonding" isn't always what you think—but still dangerous How we unconsciously build relationships off struggle and chaos The toxic comfort of vent culture (and what it's costing you) Why elevated conversations = elevated relationships How your friend circle might be holding you back (even if they love you) What it means to attract partners who reflect your past instead of your growth You'll Walk Away With: A new lens for evaluating your friendships, dates, and DMs Questions to ask about your last 5 conversations Permission to release connections that are built on pain, gossip, or constant venting A blueprint to create relationships that are grounded in peace—not pain You're allowed to let go of the chaos.

“So, we're on the elevator—and we're angry.”In this raw and revealing follow-up to last week's episode, Lauren picks up right where they left off: the hotel hallway tension, the slammed door, and the unforgettable, rage-fueled sex that followed. Clothes were ripped off, bodies thrown against walls, and a deep desire to be chosen and wanted took over.Lauren and Trey reflect on the erotic electricity of that night—what made it so charged, why they've never had sex like that before, and how it left them both breathless… and then laughing when Trey had to wear Lauren's sweatshirt home after the fire alarm went off. (Yes, really.)But this episode isn't just a sex story. They unpack the difference between hot and healthy. They name the ingredients that made that encounter intense and why they've agreed not to repeat it. Together, they explore the psychology of angry sex, make-up sex, and what happens when arousal is driven by disconnection instead of desire.They then shift into what's coming next: their plans for an upcoming Manhattan rendezvous—one that blends familiarity and mystery—and Lauren's exciting speaking gig at Soho House. She opens up about her growth, the mantra she's holding—"I am good enough"—and how she's preparing to do Live Sex & Relationship Coaching on stage.Trey shares his excitement and support for Lauren's so-called “National Tour,” and they talk about what it means to keep showing up for each other, especially when the stakes are high.This conversation blends sexual healing, relationship advice, and emotional intimacy, offering tools for couples who want to better understand the intersection of sex and conflict. Whether you're curious about sex after a fight, make-up intimacy, or how communication can turn rage into repair, this episode delivers insights you won't hear in couples therapy or your group chat.

Please share your thoughts, feedback, and questions. I would love to hear from you.Navigating emotional hurt in relationships requires understanding the complex dance between our inner worlds and interpersonal dynamics. When your partner's words sting, there's often more happening beneath the surface than meets the eye. The concept of emotional projection transforms how we interpret relationship pain. Your partner's criticisms, accusations, or dismissals frequently reflect their own unresolved issues rather than your shortcomings. By recognizing this psychological mechanism, you can avoid taking hurtful interactions personally while maintaining presence and compassion during difficult conversations.What makes this exploration particularly fascinating is the electromagnetic component of our interactions. Beyond words and body language, relationships operate within energetic fields where emotions create tangible atmospheres. This invisible dynamic explains why some connections feel instantly comfortable while others generate tension despite pleasant conversation. Understanding these energy patterns helps interpret what's truly happening when communication breaks down.Healing hurt feelings demands practical skills: using "I statements" to express pain without blame, choosing appropriate timing for sensitive discussions, asking open-ended questions that invite honest sharing, and practicing reflective listening that validates your partner's experience. These techniques create safe spaces where both partners can express vulnerability without fear of judgment or retaliation.The path forward requires patience, diplomatic communication, and sometimes professional guidance. By approaching relationship challenges as opportunities for deeper understanding and connection rather than battles to be won, couples transform pain into growth.

Let me say it here, in writing:  I am NOT opposed to marital therapy.  I am quite concerned, however, on how marital therapy happens now.  I am concerned about the effectiveness of marital therapy.  And I am concerned for people who blindly seek out marital therapy, expecting it to help. If you don't know it, my training and background is as a marriage and family therapist.  I spent years, and several degrees, preparing to be a marriage therapist. And I was pretty disillusioned to see how ineffective marital therapy, overall, has been shown to be.  Statistics are about the bigger view, not the specific therapist with a specific couple.  But from the overall view, according to meta analysis of studies, about 75% of people who go to marital therapy still divorce.  Only around 10-15% report a positive help. Now, you see my issues.  Why, if this is the primary way of helping a marriage, is it so ineffective?  Three reasons:  1) Therapist training, 2) Therapist orientation, 3) Client resistance. Listen in to this podcast to understand the issues.  Then, you can make a better choice about whether therapy makes sense, how to find a good therapist, and how to make sure you and your spouse are truly ready for therapy. (And if you aren't, that doesn't mean there is nothing you can do!  That is why I created the Save The Marriage System, and why we offer Relationship Coaching.)

With over 30 years of experience working with abusers and training professionals, Lundy exposes the subtle and overt tactics used by high-conflict individuals to gain power in custody disputes and other legal battles.

Lundy explains why survivors of abuse find themselves in difficult, uphill battles when trying to protect their children and the emotional toll this takes. Lundy also provides practical advice for mothers navigating high-conflict divorces and custody disputes, outlining critical steps to level the playing field and protect children from further harm. He dives deep into the biases within the legal process that enable dangerous individuals to gain access to their children, even when their behavior is abusive. Through this conversation, Lundy offers a powerful look into how the family court system operates, how survivors can reclaim their power, and the ways in which we can push back against a broken system.

In this episode of CHRISTIANISH Podcast, Dating Coach and Hypnotherapist Keshia Rice breaks down what it really means to decenter men. While social media is full of talk about rejecting relationships, many women are still unknowingly making men the center of their lives. Keshia explains why true decentering isn't about avoiding love—it's about making yourself the priority and only allowing relationships that align with your values. Keshia shares: ✨ The one question you need to ask yourself to stop chasing relationships ✨ How unhealed wounds (validation, security, father figures) shape your dating patterns ✨ Why balancing your masculine and feminine energy changes everything ✨ The key to attracting a healthy, fulfilling relationship—without settling When you give yourself what you've been seeking, love becomes a choice, not a necessity.

Welcome back to another highlight show! In this episode, we continue our series of relationship tips and insights from some experts I’ve interviewed over the years. You will hear from Dr. Wendy Walsh about the top 3 qualities men and women seek (qualities that are based on deep-seated wiring, that we can’t ignore or reject), advice from Jillian Turecki on the right and wrong questions to ask while dating, why we can make bad decisions during the first two years of a relationship, why we downplay negatives and red flags, and what happens when we get too stuck on rationality. Got relationship problems? They likely stem from your own issues—your own personal life problems, self-esteem issues, etc. You will also learn what 7 things destroy attraction and hear wonderful insights from Mia Moore, who highlights the adverse effects of becoming socialized to believe that relationships are mainly about hard work. Mia discusses how life experience, including both positive and negative aspects of past relationships, can frame one’s perspective and personal growth for future relationships. Another important part of relationship health? Parenting. If you have kids, don’t make the (common) worst mistake most parents make (putting kids before the priorities of nurturing a loving partnership)! Mia mentions the “cheerleader” concept of relationship dynamics: Do you want a mature, authentic, dynamic adult relationship with conflict, frank discussion, negotiation-compromise-resolution, or do you just want a cheerleader to stand by and cheer you on? According to Mia, you can have both—a cheerleader and an authentic partner, and you will also hear some great applicable tips for healthy communication—recognizing and avoiding passive-aggressive dynamics, the power of dismissive language, being aware of how you use “but” in the middle of a sentence, developing the ability to listen more and talk less, how to allow for healthy venting without going overboard, the importance of working on emotional control and sensitivity, and more! TIMESTAMPS: What are the qualities we are looking for in a partner based on our biological wiring [00:46] It is important to be authentic. [05:16] What should you talk about when first dating? [06:25] People that look good on paper, might not be a good match. [07:44] The chemical attraction is there, but sometimes we make bad decisions. [10:59] Don’t downplay red flags that you may notice. [13:15] Be comfortable around each other. You don’t have to dress up or put on an act. [14:09] There are seven things that destroy relationships. One is stress. [15:31] Master your inner voice, and you master your life. [16:17] Are relationships really such hard work? [19:58] There are helicopter parents and lawnmower parents. How does that effect your relationship? [23:32] Do opposites attract or is a better match with someone who is more aligned with your behaviors and values? [27:06] As we get older, we get set in our ways. [29:58] Say something once and have the expectation that your message will stick. [30:50] Do you say “whatever?” Using “but” in the middle of a sentence usually negates what you said before. [31:47] Resolve to listen more and talk less. No one learns anything by talking. (Confucius) [36:10] Think about what kind of partner you want?

Today, I interview Robyn Smith, who spent much of her early life feeling unheard and afraid to speak up. As a child, she was timid and quiet, often holding back her voice in class and around others. Early experiences of separation from her mother left her with a deep sense of not being fully seen or heard. At home, she had the freedom to make choices, but in the outside world, she shrank into the background, afraid of being judged.Even as she grew older, the fear of speaking up stayed with her. She taught gymnastics as a kid and later became a yoga teacher, but she still struggled to trust her voice. She believed she wasn't loud enough, and speaking in front of others felt like a challenge.Her breakthrough came when she immersed herself in deeper personal work. Through intensive training, she began to understand the patterns that held her back and found the confidence to use her voice in a new way.Now, Robyn helps women struggling with relationship challenges, guiding them to break free from old patterns and build deeper, more fulfilling connections. She teaches practical tools for communication, emotional healing, and self-worth—helping others experience love and relationships in a way that feels truly supportive and nourishing.__________________Robyn Smith is an award-winning speaker and a leading trauma, communication, and relationship coach for women.
