  • The “Restructuring Divorce With Discernment Counseling with Arlene” Episode

    I have so much respect and admiration for Dr. Rob. Over the years, I’ve learned a great deal from him—I’m a licensed clinician myself—and I continue to value his insights.

  • Loads of judgment

    These two clearly have a high opinion of themselves. They promote a single mentality and disparage alternative views. They use benign words like “connection” to exclude addicts and sex monsters.
