    17. Ask a Therapist 4: Attachment Styles Wrap Up

    Our favorite couple's therapist, Estefi, comes back to wrap up an introduction to attachment theory by reviewing fearful-avoidant and secure attachment styles and how that shows up in relationships. This is an episode I could listen to over and over.  TW: Mentions of self-harm & abuse.

    15. The Second Part of the Tw*tswatting Fiasco

    When a community starts using humor to cope with hard circumstances, what options would leadership of any sort have? What types of actions are helpful, and what types of actions make it substantially worse?    We explore this on a sociological and psychological level and poke fun at situations like this as a whole. Because smashing the lives of people for making stress-relieving jokes that most people actually really enjoyed would never happen in real life, right? Allegedly.

    14. The Episode That Was Here & Then Gone, & is now Quietly Back Pt. 1

    The very vague discussion about a thing that allegedly happened on a base and what it even means for a community to make jokes in this way.  Explicit warning: We use the term "tw*tswatted" a lot.    The episode was up and then taken down, but now it's up for good.

    Back by popular demand, we have Estefanía Ospina-Alikhan LMFT on to talk about relationships, communication, and connection. We laugh, we cry, we talk about throwing elbows. A good time was had by all, and I'm so excited for you to check this out too.  What is a six-second kiss, and what does it do? In what ways can we maintain connection when our spouse is so far away? How does this relate to family back home? We discuss all of this, and more.
