Relocating for Love: Finding Agency in Accommodation with Vienna Pharaon

How do we know when we are too accommodating in relationships, or not accommodating enough? Dr. Alexandra invites therapist and friend Vienna Pharaon on the show to talk about major life transitions and how they can impact our intimate partnerships. Together, they answer a question from a listener who is struggling to adjust to a new city and lifestyle, after having moved where her partner is doing his med school residency.Subscribe to Dr. Alexandra’s Newsletter:https://dralexandrasolomon.com/subscribe/Vienna Pharaon’s e-course, “The Origins of You”:http://www.newyorkcouplescounseling.com/Vienna Pharaon’s Instagram, @mindfulmfthttps://www.instagram.com/mindfulmft/ Join Esther Perel's annual clinical conference Sessions Live 2026!
