You Need Therapy

This week licensed marriage and family therapist, Staci Buford, joins us to talk about what we are learning from reading Esther Perel’s book: The State of Affairs. In this episode we discuss the history of marriage and how they have shifted as society and culture has evolved and in turn, how that has affected our expectations and satisfaction in our relationships today.  The State of Affairs: Rethinking Infidelity   Follow Kat on Instagram: @KatVanburen Follow the podcast Instagram: @YouNeedTherapyPodcast Have a question, concern, guest idea, something else?

Is your boss a narcissist or are they just a jerk? If you’re asking yourself this question than this week’s episode is calling your name. Honestly, these days the word narcissist is thrown around so much that it is almost losing it’s true me meaning. The good news: Kat is on a mission to help us understand what is just mean and harmful behavior and what it actually looks like to be in a relationship (specifically at work) with someone who might fit the criteria for malignant narcissism.  disclaimer: This podcast is not a replacement for mental health services and does not have the ability to diagnose or treat any person for mental health needs.

A listener opens up about the journey of dating after an emotionally toxic marriage. The discussion navigates the delicate balance between genuine connection and superficial charm in new relationships. There's a thought-provoking look at the unrealistic expectations we often place on partners, prompting introspection about personal growth and attachment styles. Additionally, the conversation highlights essential support for domestic abuse survivors, including the need for pet-friendly shelters.

This week Kat is back discussing her internal dialogue involving cults and the power of brainwashing. After watching a recent Netflix documentary about a so called "dance management TikTok cult" Kat wanted to create a conversation around how and why we label people involved in these spaces as delusional, brainwashed, and incapable of making rational decisions. The questions left for you to answer is, are those assumptions fair or true?
