    Introducing The Lindsay Clancy Case, Understanding Postpartum Psychosis from The Oprah Podcast. Follow the show: The Oprah Podcast The Lindsay Clancy case has captured the nation’s attention, causing heated debate in the national conversation. On January 24, 2023 Lindsay Clancy strangled her three children in her basement and then attempted suicide by jumping from a second-story window in her house. The resulting injuries left her paralyzed from the waist down. After 21 days of testimony from more than 80 witnesses, the jury was not able to reach a unanimous decision. Lindsay Clancy’s defense team has argued that she is not guilty by reason of insanity as she was experiencing postpartum psychosis, while the prosecution argued she committed premeditated first degree murder. Oprah is in Massachusetts for a wide-ranging conversation about the case with an audience including an exclusive interview with Meg Hamp, a nurse who worked alongside Lindsay for 7 years and testified at her trial - plus medical experts, legal scholars and women who have personally experienced postpartum psychosis. Their stories give us a rare, first-hand insight into what it is to experience this challenging mental health issue. Oprah will also talk with social critics who will share their opinions and she will hear speculation on many sides of the case. Oprah has hosted conversations on postpartum depression and psychosis for 40 years with the intention of providing a platform for a mature discussion. This podcast episode contains discussions of murder, suicide, and mental illness that may be upsetting to some listeners. Listener discretion is advised.

It is practical parenting advice for raising kids who value people over possessions.

Talking about the possibility of marriage tracked with higher satisfaction and commitment for engaged couples, while frequent pre-engagement talk about the proposal, the ring, and the wedding tracked with lower satisfaction among married ones. They are careful about causation, but suggest the difference may be focusing on the relationship itself rather than on the events and objects around it. Read along with the original article(s) here: https://www.luvze.com/is-there-such-a-thing-as-planning-too-far-ahead/ Quotes to ponder: "As a couple grows closer and their relationship becomes more serious, it's entirely natural to discuss future plans." "According to our results, discussing plans to marry may be an important step in moving a relationship forward and likely reflects something happy couples are naturally inclined to do." "However, planning far ahead with frequent discussions about the specifics of getting engaged and having a wedding may not help the relationship or your chances of experiencing a more satisfying proposal, ring, or wedding."

Read straight, it is an inventory of the small corrosive habits that do most of the damage in a long partnership. His closing point is the serious one, that saving the good things usually means doing less of the bad rather than adding a new technique.

He offers a short self-test for emotional dependence, traces the pattern back to childhood, and suggests practical alternatives: sitting with your own mind, comforting yourself, reassuring yourself, and giving instead of waiting to be given to. The payoff he describes is loving from wholeness rather than need, which is the foundation of steadier relationships.

She points out that emotions are data rather than noise, and that an outside observer trained to see beneath the conflict can shift a gridlocked perspective just enough to move. The decision itself stays with the couple, but the process gives them a clearer basis for making it. Read along with the original article(s) here: https://www.prospecttherapy.com/blog/2023/11/7/how-can-a-couples-therapist-help-me-navigate-the-decision-of-divorce Quotes to ponder: "Deciding whether or not to pursue a divorce is a deeply personal and often difficult decision." "Emotions are valuable pieces of information, and ignoring them is to throw away a whole file folder of data." "Sometimes couples get tunnel vision and only see the things that prove their point."

She walks through four reasons routine helps: it builds a positive feeding relationship, it signals that eating matters, it lets kids tune in to their own hunger and fullness, and it creates more chances to serve a variety of foods. She is careful to note that a schedule is a guideline rather than a rule, which is what makes it practical parenting advice for real family life.
