In this episode of Therapists Unhinged, we tackle the intricate dynamics of relationships and the impact of our past experiences on our present interactions. We kick off the conversation by acknowledging that no partner will fulfill 100% of our needs, and we often project our unmet childhood needs onto our relationships.

Throughout the episode, we emphasize the importance of self-awareness and understanding our own expectations before seeking a partner. We discuss the concept of trauma bonding and how individuals may choose partners based on past experiences rather than genuine compatibility.

Communication emerges as a key theme, as we explore the necessity for both partners to express their needs and boundaries openly. We also highlight the difference between chemistry and compatibility, urging listeners to reflect on what constitutes a healthy relationship for them.

As therapists, we share our insights and experiences, encouraging our audience to engage in self-acceptance and personal growth. We remind listeners that a successful relationship is built on mutual respect and understanding, and that true fulfillment comes from recognizing our own worth as complete individuals.

In this episode of Therapists Unhinged, we had the incredible opportunity to sit down with our second guest, Alexa, a 52-year-old Puerto Rican veteran who shared her powerful journey through mental health and personal transformation.

From the outset, Alexa opened up about her struggles with therapy and medication, emphasizing that finding the right combination was crucial for her healing. She candidly discussed the stigma surrounding mental health, particularly within the military and her cultural background, where seeking help is often viewed as a weakness. Alexa's story is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit, as she navigated her upbringing, military service, and the complexities of coming out in a strict religious environment.

Throughout our conversation, Alexa's humor and authenticity shone through, reminding us that while the path to mental wellness is fraught with challenges, it is also filled with moments of growth and self-discovery. She shared how her wife played a pivotal role in encouraging her to seek therapy and how important it is to find a therapist with whom you can connect.

We also delved into the broader implications of mental health in the military community, discussing the need for better support systems and the importance of understanding one's emotions. Alexa's transformation from feeling like a victim to embracing her identity as a survivor is a powerful reminder that healing is possible with dedication and the right support.

This episode serves as a beacon of hope for anyone struggling with their mental health. We hope that Alexa's story resonates with our listeners and inspires them to seek help, embrace their journeys, and remember that they are not alone in their struggles.
