On today's episode of ShrinkChicks, Emmalee and Jen have the honor of sitting down with the brilliant Dr. Alexandra Solomon! Dr. Solomon is a therapist, author, teacher, fellow podcast host and relationship expert! They start the episode off by talking about the challenges and nuances of Instagram and TikTok therapy. They then ask Dr. Solomon about the class she teaches at Northwestern University called Marriage 101. This leads them into the episode topic: hard conversations to have with a partner before marriage or that next big step in your relationship and where to begin when approaching them. Emmalee, Jen and Dr. Solomon explore conversations like: acknowledgement that each partner will change throughout the relationship, political differences in marriages and how to handle them - especially in this polarizing political climate, the decision to have children, attachment styles, cultivating compassion for new versions of ourselves and our partners, and SO much more!
