Is it wrong to ask my partner to cut all contact (block) someone that they used to hook up with if it makes me feel uncomfortable?
I found out something about my boyfriend’s past, and he doesn’t know that I know. Should his history matter to our current relationship?
I told my partner I loved them, and they told me they “aren’t there yet.” How do I handle it, and how long should I wait to see if they do get there?
How do I stop making a crush into a bigger deal than it is?

EP37: Feeling, Emotion, and Recommended Reading May 25, 2023

Welcome to This Changes Everything, the only running podcast hosted by two mental health professionals–just kidding! But Therapy Jeff and Sarah Rice do happen to have some stories about their recent journeys into physical movement that have some real tie-ins with some of the topics they’ve talked about on the show. They also answer plenty of your questions, of course. This week, they focus on questions about emotion: emotional regulation, availability, vulnerability, all of the stuff we know is good for us but can sometimes struggle to access. Sarah recommends a trio of books this weeks: The Body Keeps the Score by Bessel van der Kolk M.D.

What Happened to You? Conversations on Trauma, Resilience, and Healing by Oprah Winfrey and Bruce D. Perry, M.D., Ph.D. (Jeff highly recommends getting this one as an audiobook.) Self-Compassion: The Proven Power of Being Kind to Yourself by Dr. Kristin Neff. (And the accompanying TEDTalk) Therapy Jeff recommends Eckhart Tolle’s absolutely iconic work, The Power of Now. But be warned, it did make Jeff want to become a monk.

(The Gottmans aren’t sponsoring this episode. We’re just fans.)

EP30: 12 Questions to Ask Yourself Before You Breakup Apr 06, 2023

In today's episode, Sarah Rice and Therapy Jeff are tackling a topic that is difficult, but one that many of us have gone through or will go through at some point in our lives: breakups. Breaking up can be a really tough decision to make, and sometimes it's hard to know if you're acting in the heat of the moment or if you've really considered the choice you're about to make. To help you sort through how you're feeling, Sarah and Jeff are sharing twelve questions you should ask yourself before you decide once and for all to breakup. Some of these might be uncomfortable because they'll require taking a long, hard look in the mirror, and we all know how much fun that isn't. But hopefully these questions will help you find the focus and clarity you need to help you decide if you're going to stick it out or if it's time to say goodbye.

EP25: Dealing With Grief, Pt. 2 Mar 02, 2023

Sarah and Therapy Jeff are back with the second half of this listener-suggested episode. Last week, we focused on what grief looks like and the ways it can show up in your life that you might not instantly recognize. This week, Jeff and Sarah are talking about what to do when you are grieving: how to accept grief, how to give yourself permission to feel what you need to feel. They talk about the ways a therapist can help you work through what you're feeling, and how it doesn't always look like having a huge meltdown. Sometimes it does though, and that's fine, too!

EP24: Dealing with Grief Feb 23, 2023

This week, Therapy Jeff and Sarah are covering grief, so you might want to have your happiest movies and softest blankets ready to go after this one. When we think of grief, we usually think of grieving the death of a loved one, and that’s definitely one kind of grief. But we can grieve for so many reasons. Whether due to death, the end of a relationship, or leaving a job, any kind of loss can lead to grief, and it’s important to recognize this. We can even experience grief when something good happens. Moving in with a partner or getting married, for example, can lead to a feeling of loss that deserves to be felt and processed. To help with this process, Sarah walks us through Elisabeth Kübler-Ross’s famous stages of grief. Most people are familiar with her early model, which outlined five stages: denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance, but she eventually added two additional stages, shock and testing, which helped to create a more accurate and nuanced model. Understanding these stages may be helpful when it comes to identifying grief and its associated feelings and behaviors. But once you’ve identified the fact that you’re grieving someone or something, what should you do? Sarah and Jeff have some suggestions in this episode, but of course, everyone is different, so if you are someone who’s going through it right now, try to show yourself some compassion and remember that there’s no single right or wrong way to grieve.

EP23: Green Flags That Look Like Red Flags Feb 16, 2023

We’re starting this episode off with an update from Sarah on the relationship question she asked Therapy Jeff last week. Then we’re picking up on the conversation we started last week. Last time we were talking about red flags that look like green flags. This time, we’re talking about green flags that might, at first glance, look like red flags. A lot of these are the healthy side of habits that can be problematic. For example, last week we talked about the fact that wanting to spend every single second with a new partner might be a red flag. This week, we’re saying that making yourself available is a green flag. As always, there’s nuance here. It’s all about balance, and it’s important to recognize when a behavior is veering from green flag to red flag.

EP22: Red Flags That Look Like Green Flags Feb 09, 2023

This week, Sarah starts this one off with a personal relationship question for Therapy Jeff, and he really flips it on her. Then they get into the heart of the episode, red flags that look like green flags. It might seem pretty obvious, but so many of our favorite love stories are deeply problematic when you think about them for, say, 10 seconds? Jeff blames The Princess Bride for his “As you wish” behaviors and Sarah explains her own complicated relationship with The Neverending Story’s Childlike Empress. How do we see these tropes playing out in our real adult relationships? Therapy Jeff and Sarah are pointing out a few things that seem positive at first but might warrant a second look. Come back next week for part two: Green flags that look like red flags.

EP21: 4 Things to Keep in Mind Before Getting Married Feb 02, 2023

Last week, Therapy Jeff and Sarah focused on breaking up. This week, they're talking about staying together. Specifically, they're talking about marriage. Sarah asks Jeff to break down his "Four Things a Relationship Therapist Wants You to Keep in Mind Before Getting Married" video. First, they're talking about the fact that when you say yes to one person, you are, in a way, saying no to the possibility of anyone else. Second, Jeff reminds us that when you settle down, you're settling for a person who can't possibly meet all your needs (and you shouldn't expect them to). Third, you're going to get triggered by your spouse, but the important thing to remember is that's not necessarily a bad thing. Fourth, when you get married, you're going to have conflict with your spouse. So be prepared to take a break and get some space. These are all realities of being in a long term relationship that might seem negative at first glance, but they all provide opportunities to learn more about yourself, your partner, and the relationship you're building together. And that's a good thing.

EP20: Breaking Up Jan 26, 2023

Therapy Jeff and Sarah Rice are talking about something that’s always hard to deal with and not always fun to talk about–the dreaded breakup. Whether you’re the one being broken up with or the one doing the breaking up, it’s never a good time. But Sarah and Jeff are offering their thoughts on the best way to deal, no matter what side of it you’re on. If you’re the breaker-upper, what do you say? How do you say it? When do you say it? Jeff makes the distinction between ending things after just a few dates, and Sarah makes a good point, that this avoidance falls into the camp of good old procrastination. It’s a little different than breaking up with someone you’ve been dating for a little while. Or what about when you’re in a long term relationship? What if you’re married? Things definitely get more complicated then. There’s no totally right or completely wrong way to do it, but Sarah and Jeff have some ideas that can help both people in the relationship come out better on the other side of their breakup.

EP18: Dealing With Sadness Jan 12, 2023

As we enter the post-holidays, post-New Year part of winter, people may be dealing with bigger, heavier feelings of sadness. This week, Sarah Rice and Therapy Jeff are here to help you recognize and identify those feelings, to break down the difference between general sadness and depression, and to tell you about a few of their own strategies for dealing with sadness. Sometimes, it means laying on the floor and listening to the most angsty emo you can find; other times, it might mean being as gentle with yourself as you would a child, and sometimes, you have to start simple and do what Sarah’s mom says: “Chop wood. Carry water.”

Here's an article about the differences between sympathy, empathy, and compassion Sarah referenced:

EP17: New Year's Resolutions: Dos and Don'ts for Creating Lasting Change Jan 05, 2023

It's 2023, and we're back, baby! Everyone's talking about New Year's resolutions, and Sarah and Therapy Jeff have some thoughts of their own to share. Despite the fact that so many of us make them, New Year's Resolutions are notorious for being unsuccessful. Why is that? And why do we bother making them in the first place? As Sarah explains, there's nothing inherently wrong with wanting to start out the New Year with some goals in mind, but having unrealistic expectations can lead to feelings of failure, disappointment, and self-judgement. So Sarah and Jeff are here to talk about what makes for successful goals and resolutions in the New Year. Sarah explains why it's so important to look at the difference between resolutions we make for the person we think we should be versus the person we really want to be. And Jeff talks about setting goals that are based in inspired versus anxious action. Sarah walks us through a really useful exercise that starts with examining your current self-story and envisioning the best version of you that you want to work toward in the coming year, and Jeff has some really useful tips for how to start enacting that story in actionable ways. We hope you all had a healthy and restful holiday. We're excited to kick off 2023 with you all! Stop throwing your money away.

EP16: Letting Go and Moving On: What to Do When a Relationship Ends Dec 15, 2022

Sarah and Therapy Jeff are continuing last week's conversation about ending relationships. Dealing with the end of a relationship is hard, no matter the circumstances. Do we need closure? How do we get closure? What do we even mean by "closure' in the first place? We often think getting closure means understanding exactly why a relationship has ended in the hopes that this will save us from heartache, but Sarah talks about the importance of closure in terms of allowing yourself to grieve the end of a relationship. Jeff asks us to consider why we feel like we need closure in the first place. Sometimes it's a healthy and healing experience. Other times, we're just looking for ways to retread old wounds, and maybe that's when it's time to think about having a conversation with a therapist instead of your ex. If you are struggling with letting go, Jeff's got some questions you can ask yourself to help you think through moving forward from the end of a relationship, and Sarah's got some concrete suggestions for things you can do to get back in touch with who you are when you're not in relationship. Take yourself out on a date. Eat the spicy food your partner couldn't stand. Remember, you aren't alone because you're always with yourself, and this is a great time to put you first!

EP15: 7 Signs Your Partner Might be Feeling Done with Your Relationship Dec 08, 2022

Relationships aren't always easy, and every relationship has its ups and downs. But how do we know when a rough patch is more than a rough patch? How can you know for sure that something isn't quite right in your relationship, and what should you do about it? The best answer is probably the most obvious one: talk to your partner. But there are some signs you can be on the lookout for that might mean it's time to priotize talking with your partner in the first place. So here they are. Seven sins your partner might be feeling done with your relationship. **DISCLAIMER** Therapy Jeff and Sarah are not saying that if any of these signs resonate with you that your relationship is doomed. If anything we talk about today sounds familiar to you, it might be time to sit down and have a conversation with your partner about what you both want from your relationship. And if it turns out your relationship is ending, that's okay! The important thing is that you're taking care of yourself, in whatever way is best for you.

EP14: Relationship Attachment Styles, Part 2 Dec 01, 2022

Well, it's the so-called "cuffing season," which means folks may be feeling the pressure to find someone to snuggle up with or to lock things down with that cutie they've already found. It's a fitting time of year to wrap up our mini-series on attachment styles because Therapy Jeff and Sarah Rice are breaking down all the ways different attachment styles interact with one another. For example, what happens when two anxiously attached people get together? Fireworks! Maybe some inadvertent love bombing? Sarah and Jeff are breaking down the tendencies that can lead to stress or roadblocks in your relationship and offering ways you can address those issues to make sure your relationship is as strong and healthy as you want it to be!

Jeff shares the story of his first kiss. It's very sweet. Got a good one, yourself? We'd love to hear it!

EP13: Relationship Attachment Styles, Part 1 Nov 17, 2022

Sarah Rice and Therapy Jeff are breaking down a topic that listeners have been asking for: relationship attachment styles. Attachment styles are established with our earliest relationships, so they can be deeply ingrained and take a lot of work to recognize and work through. Jeff tells us why the securely attached might seem boring, but really they're #goals. Sarah tells us what secure attachment has in common with The Four Agreements. They also outline dismissive/avoidant, anxious, and disorganized attachment styles. Then, they outline some useful ways to think about your own attachment style and how it interacts with the attachment style of your partner(s). Sarah and Jeff each suggest a few ways to work on becoming more secure in your own attachment style, and Sarah provides a delicious metaphor in the process.

EP12: Home for the Holidays Survival Guide Nov 10, 2022

The holidays can be a really wonderful time to connect with the people you care about, but that doesn't mean they aren't also a really stressful time. Whether it's as simple as feeling like you have to wrap the presents exactly right, or the more complicated aspects of going home for the holidays, especially when home doesn't always feel like the safest place, Sarah and Therapy Jeff are sharing their best strategies for making it through the holidays, no matter what you're dealing with. Sarah talks about the importance of making your own traditions. Jeff shares what it was like the first time he decided he wasn't going home for the holidays. If you think you might need to skip out on the family celebrations this year, that's okay. And remember, you're not going to fix your childhood trauma over Thanksgiving dinner. The most important thing is that you take care of yourself, no matter the time of year.

EP11: Understanding, Recognizing, and Dealing with Anxiety Nov 03, 2022

Sarah Rice and Therapy Jeff are talking about that old classic, anxiety. Jeff provides a useful explanation of the actual science behind how anxiety works in your brain and what you can do to help yourself work through it when it feels like anxiety is really taking over. Sarah breaks down the ways that physiological, cognitive, and emotional responses can feed and be fed by anxiety. Jeff has some strategies for recognizing early subtle signs of oncoming anxiety. Sarah talks about grounding as a really helpful way to manage anxiety in the moment. Jeff and Sarah trade their favorite grounding exercises, from doing semi-complicated mental math to five-finger breathing. Remember though, no matter how you get there, when it comes to anxiety, your main goal is to convince your brain that it's safe. This episode is chock full of great ways to think through and about anxiety.

Sarah recommends Bruce D. Perry and Oprah Winfrey's book What Happened to You?: Conversations on Trauma, Resilience, and Healing. The audiobook is especially good!

EP10: Let's Talk About Sex, Part 2 Oct 27, 2022

Therapy Jeff and Sarah Rice are back, and they're answering even more of your sex-related questions. This week, they tackle tricky questions like:

-How important is sexual chemistry? -Is it okay if my partner thinks about someone else when they masturbate? -Are kinks a dealbreaker? -How do I talk to a potential partner about having an STI? -How to manage high and low desire discrepancies in a relationship?

Hint: the answer is almost always, "it depends," and/or "just say the thing."

Plus, Sarah tells us how she took some advice she and Jeff shared last week and applied it to her own relationship. There's also plenty of talk in this episode about what makes Halloween the sexiest holiday and why Jeff has wet dream envy. So, you know, it's a totally typical episode of This Changes Everything.

How do you stop worrying about how much energy your partner is putting out when you're having sex?

What's the nicest way to tell your partner their after-gym scent just isn't doing it for you? Sarah and Jeff share their thoughts, experiences, and some advice to help you live your best sex life.

EP08: Living and Loving the Single Life Oct 13, 2022

This week, Therapy Jeff and Sarah Rice are talking about the single life and why it's important to find ways to be happy and secure when you're not in a relationship–whether for 6 months or the rest of your life. What are the benefits of taking some time to be single and just focus on yourself without having one eye toward looking for your next relationship?

Sarah tells us about folks who are, as Dr. Bella DePaulo describes them, "single at heart?" Are you someone who doesn't need a plus-one at every event? Do you thrive in solitude? Would you much rather watch your shows and eat your snacks without having to share with someone else?

Jeff breaks down the Relationship Escalator–those steps society expects us to take when it comes to finding a partner and advancing our relationships (dating, marriage, kids, etc.)–and describes the ways society can really look down on people who, for one reason or another, don't adhere to that formula.

Jeff and Sarah talk about their favorite Disney movies and how stories like The Little Mermaid and Aladdin can reinforce our ideas of what being in a relationship should look like, for better or worse. Give up your voice for a man? Come on!

If you're single, now's the time to lean into the cliche of dating yourself. Use the fancy teacup. Don't save the bath bomb. Take some time to explore and ask yourself who you are, for your own sake. This might be a great time to revisit our episode, "How to Feel Your Feelings". https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/how-to-feel-your-feelings/id1640548625?i=1000578782910

EP07: On Boundaries and Accountability, Part 2 Oct 06, 2022

Therapy Jeff and Sarah Rice are tackling the second part of their conversation on boundaries and accountability. They're breaking down what accountability is, how to take accountability, and why it's so crucial for our relationships. The importance of intention versus impact comes up big time in this episode. Should you be ready to take accountability when you cause someone pain, even if your intentions were good? Jeff tells a story about a past relationship with someone who really helped him figure out the purpose and value of a genuine, authentic apology. Sarah wonders if an apology can be authentic if it doesn't come with remorse. After all, she's definitely witnessed her fair share of inauthentic apologies during her time on The Challenge. Taking accountability can be its own kind of challenge, but it gets easier the more you do it, and Sarah and Jeff have another template you can use if you need a little help to get you there.. As Jeff says in this week's episode, "Taking accountability is like the glue that keeps relationships together in a lot of ways." And as Sarah says, "Accountability is foreplay! Who knew?"

EP06: On Boundaries and Accountability, Part 1 Sep 29, 2022

Sarah Rice and Therapy Jeff are back with the first half of their two-part conversation on boundaries and accountability. This first episode is all about defining, understanding, setting, communicating, and respecting boundaries.

Jeff breaks down why setting boundaries can be really difficult and how we might gaslight ourselves into thinking our desire to set boundaries is asking for too much. But really, a boundary can be a "gift or a little map" to tell someone else how to be a good friend, lover, co-worker, or family member (because boundaries aren't just for romantic partners).

Sarah and Jeff model a caring, loving way to set boundaries, and Sarah shares her "Relationship Mad Libs" which is a template you can use when you need to establish a boundary in your life.

We also get introduced to Sarah's superhero alter ego that she calls in to do the hard stuff. Her name is Rogue Carbonara, and she's a boundary-setting badass.

We want to hear about your superhero alter ego! They're your favorite superhero combined with your greatest weakness. Jeff's is He-Man Algebra, but we're still workshopping that one.

EP05: Ten Questions for a Healing Relationship Sep 22, 2022

Sarah and Therapy Jeff have been talking a lot about grief and how to deal with it when a relationship ends. Now, they're shifting gears a bit to talk about how to make sure your next relationship is a healing one. We all have fears and insecurities that follow us from one relationship into the next, but as Sarah says in this week's episode, "rather than letting those fears and worries and doubts grow legs," it's important to get them out in the open before they become too overwhelming to address. To help do this, Jeff poses ten questions you can ask yourself and your partner at the start of a new relationship to make sure you're both feeling safe, seen, and supported. Questions like, "What didn't you hear enough of in your last relationship that you would like to hear more of in this one?" and "What's your biggest relationship fear?" These questions might be just a bit too intense for the first date, but you'll definitely want to keep them in your back pocket so you can pull them out on the fifth or sixth. We also learn a lot about our hosts this week, like what animated children's movie the two share a deep love for, and why you shouldn't bother inviting Sarah to Coachella.

EP04: When Is a Red Flag Really a Red Flag? Sep 15, 2022

This week, Jeff is sharing his list of "9 Completely Normal Things That Don’t Have to Be a Red Flag in a Relationship." For example, is it a red flag if someone holds a place in their heart for an ex? How about wanting to go on vacation without you? Is perpetually fighting about the same thing a red flag? (Look, Jeff just wants to go watch basketball by himself. And Sarah is definitely going to text you back... eventually.) This week is all about the tricky aspects of a relationship that make us stop and wonder if we're with the right person. What do you think? Did any of your usual red flags make Jeff's list?

EP03: How to Feel Your Feelings Sep 08, 2022

This week, Sarah and Jeff go on a journey that runs the full spectrum of human emotion. Jeff starts by telling us about a really hard decision he had to make recently, which leads to a thoughtful discussion about grief and why it's so important to feel your feelings, even–and especially–the more difficult ones. As Sarah says in this episode, "Grief helps you explore more of the human experience." Jeff breaks down parts work and Internal Family Systems therapy, and Sarah explains why it can be helpful to identify where and how in your body you feel particular feelings. Sarah also tells us how a mosquito bite and Tommy Lee's penis made her reflect on the tattoos she got when she was a younger person. This revelation brings up some other questionable decisions our hosts' younger selves made, like when Jeff wore suspenders with baggy pants and Sarah rebelled by going through a ska phase.

EP02: Wants and Needs, Saying the Hard Thing, and How Your Parents Loved You Sep 01, 2022

Sarah's a happy camper, literally, and Jeff doesn't get what's so great about sleeping in the dirt. Sarah claims camping is a great way to see a different side of your partner–for better or worse. Sarah and Jeff talk about the importance of understanding and articulating wants and needs in any healthy relationship, but what happens when you realize you and your partner want and need different things? As Jeff says this week, "The cliché is true: relationships are hard work, but how hard should they be?" Apparently, how your parents loved you when you were a child has a lot to do with how you love others as an adult. In fact, the first two months of life are the most important when it comes to being a securely attached, emotionally intelligent adult. Sarah's mom carried her constantly for the first few months of her life, which Sarah claims is the reason she isn't a serial killer. Sarah reminds us that even though our coping and survival strategies can become our superpowers, "Batman can't be Batman all the time."

EP01: Dating as an Adult, Creating Love, & Navigating Narcissism Aug 25, 2022

Sarah Rice, AMFT and Jeff Guenther, LPC are here with the first official episode of This Changes Everything! They're talking about dating as adults and the ways that creating love for other people comes from inside you. Sarah breaks down the ways that an identity crisis sent her back to The Challenge. Jeff shares how narcissistic tendencies aren't necessarily a bad thing, but offers a caveat about how to manage them. They describe how being a therapist doesn't mean you've got your whole life under control, but it does make you more aware of how you move through the world. Jeff tells us how blowing up on TikTok has affected his relationships, and Sarah tells us how a mango almost made her cry, and they start diving in on online dating stories. Sarah and Jeff have so much to share with you, and they're just getting started!
