3y ago57:01

57:01

Are you living your full self? Are you manifesting all your different passions and talents? Some of us have multiple passions, and don't want to commit to only one profession.

Vulnerability is The Crucial ABILITY in Intimate Relationships (especially for men) 13:44

3y ago13:44

13:44

Many of us learn at a young age (especially boys) that vulnerability=weakness. We therefore try to hide it and don't show it to our partners. This results in shallow, self-presentational relationships with little vitality, excitement, play or curiosity. Moreover, when you're not vulnerable, then you're less interesting to your partner and over time…

The Art of Fighting and Making Up 19:23

3y ago19:23

19:23

Fighting is inevitable in every intimate relationship. Most of us don't like, don't know how, or don't even know when we are fighting. Yet arguments and conflicts are a crucial element in building an intimate, differentiated relationship. Too bad there isn't a blueprint for a "positive" fight and make up... Well, actually, there is! In this talk, w…

Why am I doing everything alone in this relationship? 13:03

3+ y ago13:03

13:03

Many of us find ourselves in charge or a certain dimension of our relationship alone, be it cleaning, financial planning, parenting, and more. This sole responsibility is often a source of tension and frustration in the dyad. This universal pattern is called the seesaw principle (as coined my Michelle Weiner Davis), where the more one person does, …

Relational Bitterness - The Female Pandemic (and that men hide well) 11:23

3+ y ago11:23

11:23

Bitterness. Usually it is a passing feeling, but sometimes we encounter a partner who is constantly bitter, and their partner who is trying to cheer them up (or avoid them). It is so common that it has become almost a stereotype. Women express bitterness through criticism, pessimism, grogginess, and overall negativity. Men express this feeling thro…

Gaslighting is real. Here's how to stop it. 13:53

3+ y ago13:53

13:53

Do you have a sense your partner is sticking it to you but they keep denying it? Do you or your partner deny certain bad behaviors to each other? We all sometimes semi-consciously act in small negative ways to our partners - David Schnarch calls this phenomenon "Normal Marital Sadism". After all, the opposite of love is apathy (not hatred). So we a…

Stop Being Efficient in Your Relationships! 15:55

3+ y ago15:55

15:55

Are you (or your partner) super driven to be efficient? Is it hard for you to lower your productivity and just be? If so, you're not alone. Efficiency is actually a wonderful trait but can also function as a defense mechanism. That is why we call it E-FISH-NET, a big (electronic) net that catches all of you and takes you hostage. What is the soluti…

The 'lost' years of a couple's life occur after about 7-10 years: kids, mortgage, school, aging parents, careers, bills, chores, marriage is stable, annoying in-laws, holidays, boredom, fatigue, routine...

The Art of Relational Crying 13:12

3+ y ago13:12

13:12

"I know all there is to know about the crying game..." Boy George Crying is a natural and organic way to express and release emotions. Yet crying in relationship is not always easy: Some of us cry very often (over-crying) and some of us find it hard to cry at all (blocked cryers). Both of these extremes have advantages and disadvantages, and both d…

Dare to Want... In Your Relationships 11:47

3+ y ago11:47

11:47

"If I can't see your selfishness, I can't believe your generosity." Betty Martin Many of us have a problem expressing our desires and wants in our intimate relationships. Why? For men, this can stem from psychological patriarchy that deems wanting, vulnerability or need as something negative. For others, not wanting protects us from rejection or ri…

Are you a drama queen (or king)? Are you in a relationship with a drama queen? (Truth is that men are the real drama queens.) If so, you probably know how draining and annoying it is interacting with such 'royalty'. But the systemic truth is: You are encouraging them. Yes, there is no drama queen/king without an audience.

The Most Stable Dyad is a... Triad 9:20

3+ y ago9:20

9:20

Most of us think that two is the most stable number in relationships. But every dyad needs a third to stabilize it. The process of including a third in a dyad is called triangulation. Triangulation is a natural and unavoidable dynamic that occurs in every relationship. The problems begin with the triangulation is fixed and rigid. It creates a 'lose…

What is your emotional range? Are you surviving or living? 10:06

3+ y ago10:06

10:06

Imagine all the human emotion would be spread out from 1 being deep despair, all the way to 10 being extreme ecstasy. What would be your range? Which numbers (feelings) are you less familiar with? Many of us are 4-6'ers. We live "between the 40's", keeping it safe, functional but also somewhat numb. In this talk, Galit and I talk about the natural …

Why do we believe criticism more than praise? 11:37

3+ y ago11:37

11:37

Most of us believe criticism (or constructive feedback) more than praise. Why? Because some of us grew up in homes where criticism was a way to show care. Over time, this environment creates a core belief that "love = criticism". Such a tendency leads to relationships fraught with conflict, cynicism, and sarcasm. In this talk, Galit and Assael unpa…

Do you secretly find it hard to feel and/or express joy in your personal life? Are you in a relationship with a joy killer? If you do, then you're not alone! In the past months, we have discovered that Assael has trouble expressing joy (can you say, a pessimist?), while for Galit joy is a natural and accessible resource (optimist, or as we call her…

The Implicit Power Struggles in Our (and every) Intimate Relationship 10:39

4y ago10:39

10:39

Every couple has implicit power struggles in the different areas of their relationship (sex, money, parenting, looks, intelligence, and so on...). We call this the 95/70 rule. It has been our experience that this dynamic is inherently present and shapes the couples' mutual functioning. One of the ways we have been renegotiating our 95/70 contract i…

Precision or Control? 7:22

4y ago7:22

7:22

Many of us insist that feedback be precise or else they won't consider it. Yet often this precision serves more as a block, a defense mechanism that prevents our growth. In this talk, I share how people use precision as a sophisticated defense mechanism to keep them safe and prevent pain. Through examples from the clinic, I show the losses of this …

Solving the problem is the problem. 9:33

4y ago9:33

9:33

Often times, we (especially men) prefer to solve our partner's problems instead of actually letting their feelings or pain into our awareness. This often leads to a "report talk" dynamic where intimacy is low and partners avoid leaning on each other. In this talk, Galit and I unpack why do we prefer to solve our partner's problems and how to stop t…

Lose-Lose or Win-Win? You decide. 13:18

4y ago13:18

13:18

Most couples avoid certain unavoidable Topics or decisions. In couples therapy, we call it crucibles, T-junctions, gridlock, 70% unsolvable issues, and more. Yet by avoiding these 'hot' issues, we are stunting our own growth. In this talk, Galit and I offer a fresh view on these lose-lose dilemmas and offer practical advice on how to lean into them…

Stop over-apologizing! 11:31

4y ago11:31

11:31

Are you (or your partner) one of those people who constantly apologize for everything, even for things that no apology is needed (for example, sorry I didn't pick up the paper you dropped)? If so, this is not only a disempowered, defeated stance but also a subconscious passive-aggressive manipulative move. Yes, over apologizing has a "shadow" side.…

"It's not that important to me" - The sentence that will set you free 9:15

4y ago9:15

9:15

We've all been in this scenario: Your partner asks or remarks to you on something that you don't want to do. Since we're scared of disappointing them and want to avoid a fight, we "smokescreen" our truth and placate them. This often leads to heaviness, lack of play, mind reading, and tension. The solution? “IT'S THAT IMPORTANT TO ME.” In this talk,…

The Victim Competition - Where The Winner is the Biggest Loser 9:42

Why is it hard for us to believe change in our partners? The Natural/Fake Eithor 8:55

4y ago8:55

8:55

Why is it that when our partner tries to change their behavior, we so often shoot it down, claiming its "fake"? Because often we have this dichotomous thinking (Eithor) that if our partner doesn't do it naturally then they're faking it. But every new behavior will feel somewhat fake because if it was natural for us, we would've done it already! Wha…

How to stop constantly interpreting your partner negatively? 12:37

12:37

We all have tense periods where we tend to interpret anything and everything our partner says or does as negative, insulting, hurtful, or aggressive. The Gottman researchers call this dynamic N.S.O - negative sentiment override. This lethal dynamic has a snowball effect that is hard to stop, and can lead to deep resentment and breakup.

Dating today is not easy. Singles are getting tired and confused as to how to date in the 21st century, COVID, apps-filled era.

Mediocre (Maintenance) Sex Is Wonderful! 7:36

4y ago7:36

7:36

The media puts a lot of pressure on us to have wonderful, multi-orgasm, wall-socket sex. But in reality, in a committed long-term relationship, mediocre (maintenance) sex is inevitable. This causes many couples (especially men) to avoid sex and even doubt their relationship. In this talk, Galit and I unpack the truth about maintenance sex and share…

Yelling and Being Passionate - What's the difference? 12:00

4y ago12:00

12:00

For many of us yelling is a sensitive issue. We inherit from our families of origin certain beliefs and attitudes about yelling.

What Kind of Sorry is This? 6:48

We say sorry all the time (or not enough) in our intimate relationships. But often we confuse between the different types of 'sorry' we use. This often leads to more conflict and stress than forgiveness and closeness. In this talk, Galit and I share the four types of Sorry we've distilled in our life together, using examples from our life. Practica…

People are different and so misunderstandings and ruptures are unavoidable. Therefore, disappointments are natural and unavoidable.

Sensory Preferences - Your Idiosyncratic Map of the World 13:01

4y ago13:01

13:01

We all react to our MAP of the world and not the objective world. In NLP we say: The map is not the territory. Our map of the world is shaped by our sensory preference (visual, auditory, kinesthetic, audio-digital). Conflicts and tensions in relationships stem from differences in sensory preferences. Learning to recognize your own and other's maps …

Ambition - The Forbidden Feeling (especially for women) 6:20

Responsible or Playful? Yes! 6:11

4+ y ago6:11

6:11

In each Eithor episode, we tackle a different core dichotomy that limits people's growth. Most of us have a core belief that we can either be playful or responsible. We inherit this core belief from our families of origin and enact it in our lives. This either/or dichotomy (What we call an EITHOR - an internal golem that limits you) hurts your abil…

What is Your Love Language? 11:08

We all have a love tank. When it's empty we feel unloved, angry, lonely, and become passive-aggressive. In short, empty love tank=bad relationships. The secret to a good relationship is filling up each other's love tank. How do you do it? Firstly, you must recognize what you and your partner's love language is. Then you must learn how to speak in t…
