METROPOLITAN MARRIAGE & FAMILY THERAPY, PLLC
We are celebrating our Podcast’s 1st Year Anniversary! Super excited and proud of this accomplishment. We’ve had growing pains as we went along, but in all it has been so amazing to host these conversations and bring you curated pertinent topics to support you in your Journey. We are here to assist you with your personal development and relationship enrichment to have a Grand Human Experience.
Sometimes couples choose to divorce. Though we are super pro making the relationship work, and by work we mean Thrive, sometimes couples decide they’ve invested enough into the relationship and prefer to take a different route to find their happiness. We support our couples in the decisions they make for themselves, their family, and their life, and we help them through whatever transitions they find themselves in. Through working on the relationship, they might realize that they don’t prefer to stay together after all and choose to pursue separating instead.
Nobody ever said that being a parent is easy, especially the parent of a neurodivergent child… These children have challenges with emotional regulation, executive function skills, sensory processing, communication, social interactions, impulse control, and balance and coordination to name a few.This is a lot to contend with as a little one and as the parent of the little one because these make managing every day routines, interactions, and achieving milestones and other accomplishments more challenging.
Is there chaos in your home because of tantrums, meltdowns, acting out, or disobedience from your child? Is your child neurodivergent? Have they been diagnosed with ADHD, autism, or other diagnoses on the spectrum?
Being a parent is one of the most rewarding roles in this human experience, as far as I’m concerned. Also, one of the most challenging ones. It is a huge responsibility to create and raise another human being… The role brings with it inherent challenges and demands, and it does even more so when we have children with special needs of some sort.
Do you find that one of you wants more sexual intimacy in your relationship?
Differences in libido and desire levels are common in a relationship because of how penis and vagina owners are wired differently and because of the differences in how their sexual organs work. This is especially true for heterosexual couples, but still true for all couples in that individuals bring their uniqueness to their interactions and sex life
Have you ever experiences stretches where you feel like nothing you do is working? That you just can’t seem to get ahead?You might feel stuck in your relationship, can’t seem to lose the weight, your income or revenue is not increasing, your kids are getting on your nerves, and so on?I have found that when this happens, we are in need of a refresh and reset. We might be going at things the old way that no longer give us the results and outcomes we seek. What might have worked once, no longer does. We are in need of a new approach… So, after refreshing and resetting, we can go at our new beginnings and fresh start differently!
Rituals are a significant facet of our human experience. They enrich and give meaning to our life, and they make everything more fun- if done right!If we didn’t have rituals, our days would just meld into each other as would our weeks, months and years… Our life would not have distinctive segments to focus on for personal care, productivity, creativity, relaxation, connection, fun and enjoyment… It would be a string of passing time without it being acknowledged and properly experienced
Doing the same old will continue to generate the same old. As Spring is just around the corner, it is that time of year to do our refresh for newness… When we refresh our environments, situations, and even our approach to our relationship and our life, we create the relationship and life we desire… We are already familiar with spring cleaning, cleanses and detoxes, and possibly even clearing our spaces, our body, and our energy. But we might not be so familiar with the idea that we can apply these concepts to our relationship…
