- A Sense of Belonging with Gergana MarkovPeople’s sense of social belonging, or their sense that they have good relationships with others, is a fundamental human need. That is, having solid social connections can be as important to human health and happiness as having food, water, and shelter. Indeed, there is research to support this idea, including the finding that having social relationships can increase your odds of survival by 50%. To put this in perspective, this effect is comparable to the effects of smoking and excessive drinking on mortality, suggesting that having quality social ties is vital to our lives. This episode features our very own Gergana Markov, a therapist at The Montfort Group. Therapist Unplugged is brought to you by The Montfort Group.

- Postpartum & RelationshipsRelationships do change when kids become a part of the picture—there's no way around that. Typically, the joy and excitement that come with being a new parent outweigh the frustration or disappointment. However, the relationship tension that often comes up under this added stress cannot be ignored. Similarly, the focus on the new child is critically important, but it isn't selfish to tend to your own needs, too. Good parents aren't necessarily the ones who sacrifice themselves entirely for their child, but rather the ones who know they can't pour from an empty cup. They work to balance their own needs with their children's to provide the very best for their entire family system. If you are experiencing conflict or distance in your relationship after having children, couples therapy may be a beneficial option. The therapists at The Montfort Group have extensive training and expertise in helping couples communicate, maintain or regain intimacy and grow together after having children.

- Affairs: Starting therapy in a crisis with Cory MontfortFor those of you who have been cheated on, you know what we're talking about. The constant, gnawing, gut-wrenching awareness that you’re not special anymore, that you’ve been abandoned for someone prettier, smarter, sexier than you. It sends the betrayed into a spiral of self-doubt, wondering about their worth, unable to completely trust well until healed. And it sends the betrayer into a similar whirlwind in their struggle to come to grips with how they’ve hurt another (usually accidentally). Recovering from an affair is a messy business. We try to help each relationship no matter the circumstances. For the betrayed, rebuilding the ability to trust. For those who cheated, rebuilding their trustworthiness. These things take an exorbitant amount of courage, patience, and time well-spent to accomplish. Therapist Unplugged is brought to you by The Montfort Group.

Each episode will feature the unplugged views of guests and fellow therapists as we navigate hot topics, therapy trends and the world around us. We’ve got a big lineup of hot topics and all kinds of things for future episodes, but this will be a fun opportunity for listeners to get to know us a little bit, So, in talking about therapy and therapists, we believe it’s a huge myth that therapists lead these perfect lives, that we have all the answers, that we sit in our chair from this place of leading a perfect life, maybe judging our clients? Nothing could be farther from the truth.0 comments0
