Since You Asked with Lori Gottlieb and Gretchen Rubin

Should Parents Stay at Your Place or a Hotel? Plus: Temptation in the Office

Hi everyone, it’s Lori. Today we’re sharing another episode from my other podcast, Dear Therapists, where my fellow therapist Guy Winch and I do real sessions you can sit in on, offer practical interventions, and then hear how these interventions worked out after the session.

Today’s session is with Jason, who still carries emotional scars from his childhood. Now married and with children of his own, Jason is aware that his parents are aging and wants to be a good son, and wonders how to navigate these relationships while also freeing himself to enjoy the adulthood he worked so hard to create. 

So you’ll hear his letter, we’ll bring him on live for the session, give him some homework to do, and hear how it all went when he put it into practice. I think you’ll find this session valuable in your own life too. 

To hear more sessions, go to Dear Therapists wherever you listen to podcasts.

 

We’ll be back for Season 2 in the new year! Have a question or advice to share? Leave a voicemail or write to us atthesinceyouaskedpodcast.com.
