James van Cuylenburg - What’s Your Relationship Status?
About this episode
<p>It’s our last episode of Summer School, and today we welcome back clinical psychologist (and “clinical cousin” of Hugh and Josh), James van Cuylenburg.</p> <p>In this episode, James tells us EVERYTHING we need to know about our relationships… well almost everything…there’s a lot to cover.</p> <p>From attachment styles, to breaking trust, to learning how to own your feelings and navigating coupledom through life’s changing seasons.</p> <p>Getting into the nitty gritty, Hugh asks James about intimacy and what happens when you’re not…. having any. And how to start a conversation with your kids about pornography.</p> <p>Relationships make life worth living and whether they’re with an intimate partner, a friend, or yourself, they should be cherished and treated with care.</p> <p>James, we thank you for your guidance.</p> <p>If you liked this episode, and wanted to do some further reflection on it, each week our Vulnerabilitea-mail newsletter shares a question to get you thinking deeper.
