    Hurting or Healing? - Shimon & Leah's Story

    Understanding the Dynamics of a Troubled Marriage: Shimon and Leah's Journey In this episode of the Attached Life Podcast's Stories of Healing series, the focus is on the complex relationship between a seemingly perfect couple, Shimon and Leah. Despite their outward appearance of success and stability, Leah's frustrations with Shimon's drinking problem and Shimon's feelings of inadequacy create a tumultuous dynamic. The script delves into their weekly patterns, unraveling how Shimon's unpredictability exacerbates Leah's need for stability, while Leah's criticism amplifies Shimon's need for respect. The transformative session highlights the importance of understanding each other's backgrounds, emotional triggers, and the deeper, often spiritual, purpose of marriage challenges. By reframing these problems as opportunities for personal growth, the couple begins the path toward healing and deeper connection.

    Suppressed Emotions - David's Story

    Navigating Inner Conflict: David's Journey to Healing In this 'Stories of Healing' episode of the Attached Life Podcast, we explore the journey of David, a 38-year-old man struggling with his emotions and relationships. David's wife pushed him to seek therapy due to his frequent gaslighting, intense anger, and emotional neglect. The episode delves into his therapy sessions, where it's revealed that David undermines his own emotions similarly to how he dismisses his wife's feelings. This behavior is traced back to his childhood experiences where his feelings were invalidated. Through inner child work and imaginative exercises, David begins to understand and validate his own emotions, paving the way for healthier relationships with himself, his spouse, and his spirituality.

    The Altruistic Personality: Insights from Holocaust Rescuers and Parenting In this episode of The Attached Life podcast, we examine an extraordinary body of research by Sam and Pearl Oliner, presented in their book 'The Altruistic Personality,' which explores common traits in the backgrounds of non-Jewish Holocaust rescuers.
