I'm diving into something more personal in this special episode. 

Unlike our usual format, it's just you and me as I step into both the host and the expert role. I'll take you behind the scenes of my daily life, addressing the common questions clients ask a relationship therapist like myself. Each segment will begin with a question, prompting you to ponder whether it's true or false before I share my perspective based on my experience. 

So, get ready for an enlightening and thought-provoking adventure as we delve into the realm of relationships, therapy, and the intricate nature of human connections! 

You will also learn the following: 

⚉ TRUE OR FALSE: Do most people say they want more sex because they desire pleasure and closeness? 
⚉ TRUE OR FALSE: Does talking too much about sex make it mechanical? 
⚉ TRUE OR FALSE: Are communication challenges a major complaint of couples presenting for counselling? 
⚉ TRUE OR FALSE: Is a therapist a super problem solver?

⚉ TRUE OR FALSE: Is it crucial for couples to be friends and lovers for the longevity of their relationship?
