    #10 - Why Are Therapists So Obsessed With Childhood?

    It's a modern cliche featured in at least half of the series I've seen on Netflix lately. A person walks into a generic looking office and a calm, soft spoken figure with round glasses asks them about their childhood. But is it accurate? Or do therapists also focus on the issues happening now, the issues that made you pick up the phone and book an appointment? In today's episode we cover: Do therapists really focus heavily on childhood?What about childhood is relevant to your adult problems?The major types of parenting and how they affect you as an adultHow our blind spots develop and the problems they causeStuff we missed or didn't have time to talk about can be found in the show notes.

    #9 - Affairs and Infidelity: Why Do People Cheat?

    The single most misunderstood topic in relationships is cheating. There are so many myths, so much information, and so many people on the internet who claim to have the answers. Today, we draw on decades of experience working with couples going through infidelity, and take a look at some of the most common beliefs about cheating. Which do you think are true?: Once a cheater, always a cheater People cheat because of unmet needs in their relationship Some people are just cheaters, some people could never do itIf you don't break up with a cheater, you have no self respectMost couples in therapy for infidelity end up divorcingThere are many more things we cover, and the stuff we missed or didn't have time to talk about can be found in the show notes.

    #8 - Special: The Milgram Obedience Experiment

    After World War 2, American psychologists set out to prove that Americans would never fall for Nazi crap the way Germans did. They set up a clever experiment where a volunteer would be asked to push a button delivering a fatal shock to his fellow man.Their prediction? 0.01% of men would push the button. The result? 65% of men did it. This sent shockwaves through the field of psychology. In our first episode of a special series looking back at landmark experiments, we cover the Milgr...
