Dear Dr. Tracy Helping Our Partners Better Understand the Mental Load - with Zach Watson
Have you ever tried to explain the mental load to your partner only to find yourself struggling to find the words or perhaps frustrated that your partner just doesn’t get it?
If you have, you’re not alone. This is a common experience shared in DMs, comments, and even in therapy sessions. So how do we communicate the mental load so our partners can understand?
In this episode, I sit down with Zach Watson, to talk about the mental load. Zach is a content creator, Accountability Coach using the Fairplay method, husband, father, author, TEDx speaker, rapper, and former teacher.
In this episode, we discuss:
- What lead Zach to learn about the mental load
- Ways we can help our partners better understand the mental load
- The common fallacy about the worth of our time
- Zach’s Christmas present that helped his wife get back into her unicorn space
- Having tough, vulnerable conversations around sex and intimacy
- Showing up authentically and vulnerably on social media
