Therapy? What's That?

About this episode

The episode discusses the importance of therapy in relationships and how to break unhealthy patterns with partners.

We’ve all heard the jokes—or the heavy silence—around therapy in our community, so I brought Riya on to actually talk about it. She’s finishing her masters in marriage counseling, and we got into the real reasons why we get stuck in the same old patterns with our partners. We’re breaking down everything from childhood attachment styles to the fact that therapy isn't just a "break glass in case of emergency" tool. Our marriages deserve that intentional space even when things aren't "broken." We’re figuring out how to stop the cycle and finally prioritize the partnership, one conversation at a time.
