837 5 Things That Sound Like Boundaries But Aren't
A lot of what gets called "setting a boundary" out on the internet and in real life isn't a boundary at all. Boundaries are not punishment. They are not a lever for controlling other people. They are not what you do when someone makes you mad. I wrote a whole book about this called Boundary Boss, and the definition is simple. Your boundaries are your preferences, your desires, your limits, and

833 Why High Functioning Women Don't Know What Their Needs Are, and How to Identify Them
Do you know what you need? Not what your kids need, or what your partner needs, or what your team at work needs. What you need. In my therapy practice, when I ask high-functioning women what they need for the coming week, many of them either freeze or hand me a list of responsibilities. Things they have to get done. These things are not the same thing. Read the show notes for today's episode at te

831 How to Manage Anxiety in Anxious Times (And What to Look at First)
For the past six months, people have been asking me to do an episode on managing anxiety. We are living in genuinely anxious times, and the real things to be anxious about are not in short supply.

I have noticed a clear uptick in clients describing this

825 What a Mean Mother Leaves Behind (And How to Heal It)
If you had a mean or rejecting mother, you probably learned early not to talk about it. People don't want to believe it. They say things like "you only have one mother" or "she did her best," and suddenly you're defending your own experience to someone who can't imagine having it. That isolation is often the first wound. This episode continues the mother wound conversation from last week. While e

821 The Three Lives You Could Be Living (And How to Design Them)
Vic and I were watching a Richard Feynman lecture on YouTube recently, one of those deep dives into time, space, and quantum physics that makes your brain hurt in the best way. What struck me wasn't the physics.

809 What to Say When Someone Crosses the Line
Has someone ever asked you a question that felt invasive, judgmental, or just plain rude? Maybe it was a parent, a family member, or someone who thinks they're "just being caring."

807 Scripts for When Conflict Makes You Freeze, Defend, or Shut Down
Many people can communicate just fine until a conflict arises. Then the nervous system gets activated, and suddenly you're either shutting down, getting defensive, or saying things you don't mean.

797 The Slow Drip of Poison: Why Passive Aggressive Anger Destroys Relationships
In my almost three decades as a psychotherapist, I've seen passive-aggressive anger quietly destroy more relationships than infidelity. It's a slow drip of poison.
