Episode 71: Cultural Traumas, MeToo, and School Shootings

Jackie and Jon continue the series on families and the things that impact how we relate and interact with one another.  Every family is part of a larger cultural context which influences attitudes, beliefs, and relationships within that family.  We talk about current cultural traumas like sexual assault and misconduct and mass shootings.

Episode 70: "Little t's" in the Family Tree

Jon and Jackie add another part to their series on family of origin and how we are shaped by the people we grow up with.  In this episode, we explore how the seemingly small things can add up to have a big impact- positively and negatively.  Listen to learn how you can become more resilient to "little t" traumas.

Episode 69: When What Needed to Happen Didn't

Jackie and Jon continue their series on Family of Origin by exploring what didn't happen- or neglect.  Neglect comes in all shapes and sizes, on an extreme end, it is very noticeable.  For many of us, it is less noticeable but still leaves painful scars.  We explore different forms of neglect, the ways it shows up in adulthood, and the messages we internalize when what is isn't enough.

Episode 68: The Story Started Before You Did.

Jackie and Jon start a new series on Family of Origin and its impacts on you.  So much happens immediately and subtly within families that shapes how we feel, who we are, and the relationships we seek out.

Episode 55: Out of the Dog House with Rob Weiss

*This episode is marked explicit because it does contain references to human sexuality and words that some might find offensive- we find that the material is still relevant to our audience and sometimes these topics are best served in frank, adult conversations*

 

Jon and Jackie welcome Rob Weiss (@robweissmsw) to the podcast.  Rob is an accomplished author, therapist, and advocate for sex addicts in recovery.  Today we talk to Rob about his newest book Out of the Dog House: A Step-by-Step Relationship-Saving Guide for Men Caught Cheating.  Our conversation explores the experience of the spouse who has been cheated on as well as the experience of the person who has done the cheating including what happens for both at discovery/disclosure, initial steps to take for stabilization, and changes and growth that can happen in a relationship post-infidelity.

Episode 66: Sexism: Part 2

 

Jon and Jackie revisit their last solo show- where they started talking about sexism and each of our roles in continuing the conversation about it.  Jackie and Jon share personal stories and experiences that highlight how ingrained those ways of thinking and acting are.  It's all around us- like water to a fish.
