Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

236: Trauma Bonds with Dr. Laura Copley
Q: How do you begin working with a couple who has contentious communication?
The first step involves carving out space for myself in the dynamic, allowing the couple to slow down and start to see the relationship as a third entity that needs care and attention.
236: Trauma Bonds with Dr. Laura Copley
Q: Could you define trauma bonds and toxic relationships?
Trauma bonds are connections between individuals shaped by their shared trauma experiences rather than a clear victim-perpetrator dynamic. Toxic relationships, while often labeled as such, can stem from deeper emotional needs and patterns rather than outright abuse.
229: Co-Parenting with Karen Bonnell
Q: What are some good ways of talking to kids who might say something about the other parent that triggers you?
First assess if the situation is actually dangerous, and approach the conversation with curiosity rather than judgment; validate the child's experience while maintaining your boundaries.
229: Co-Parenting with Karen Bonnell
Q: What are some of the biggest challenges that you've seen with going through co-parenting?
The biggest challenge is information; people often don't have accurate information about their options in navigating separation and divorce.
228: A Soulful Marriage with Dr. Rachel Glik
Q: What would be an example of something that's counterintuitive in the book?
One counterintuitive idea is that conflict can be a good sign for a relationship, signaling a chance for growth if handled well.
