I went live with Dr. Psych Mom and we hit a bunch of topics that keep showing up in my inbox: anxious guys clinging to “rules,” the internet turning people into rigid weirdos, why echo chambers make relationship problems worse, and how to tell if therapy (or a therapist) is actually helping.
We also got into:
Fast courtship vs slow courtship (and why the “3-year rule” can backfire)
Why open-mindedness is a major green flag (and “fixed identity” people are exhausting)
Neurodivergence, rigidity, black-and-white thinking, and why some guys chase blueprints
“Love languages” as a conversation tool… and how people weaponize it
When it’s time to fire a couples therapist
How to know if you’re ready to date again after a breakup/divorce
If you’re a guy who’s been burned before and you’re trying to keep your head on straight, this is one of those talks that should help you zoom out and stop making decisions from fear.
