Mailbag Episode! Trouble in Paradise

Welcome to another summer mailbag episode, in which Dr. Alexandra digs into recent listener questions so that we can all grow, together. Two of the questions today follow a general shape of a question that comes across Dr. Alexandra’s desk quite often. Something like: “Everything’s perfect in my relationship…BUT….” There’s some challenge, incompatibility, or roadblock that feels outside of our control—or, something within *US* that’s holding us back from taking things to the next level, even though everything feels so right—and we can’t get unstuck. Dr. Alexandra speaks to two listeners in this spot, as well as answering a unique question from a listener who is wanting to reclaim a special place for herself and her daughter, a place that holds both “pain and potential,” in her words, in the wake of the end of her marriage. Listen to hear Dr. Alexandra’s tips on how she can reclaim her paradise. “Your Midyear Refresh” on MasterClass: masterclass.com/yourmidyearrefresh Couple Therapy Certification Course from PESI: pesi.com/dralexandra Take the Family of Origin Roles QUIZ - https://www.dralexandrasolomon.com/rolesquiz Previous summer mailbag episodes: Mailbag 1 - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/mailbag-episode-part-one/id1588419386?i=1000710981517 Mailbag 2 - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/mailbag-episode-blended-families-long-distance-talking/id1588419386?i=1000714309514 Order Dr. Alexandra’s book, Love Every Day - https://bookshop.org/p/books/love-every-day-365-relational-self-awareness-practices-to-help-your-relationship-heal-grow-and-thrive-alexandra-solomon/2e7045884bea4a5f?ean=9781683736530&next=t Subscribe to Dr. Alexandra’s Newsletter - https://newsletter.dralexandrasolomon.com/sign-up Submit a Listener Question - https://form.jotform.com/212295995939274 Learn more about the Options Transition to Independence Program which offers education, vocational, independent living, and emotional support for young adults with complex learning needs. https://www.experienceoptions.org/ Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
