ABOUT WIRED

I’m taking this video off my playlist because that super annoying T Mobile ad played twice before I could watch it.
In some cases what she says at the start of an answer completely contradicts what she says at the end, like 12:26 and there were other places.
8:51 wait. What? This is a dumb bias.
She explains — not all men.
@lindarousos3865 Yeah, this comment doesn’t help one bit. The ‘not all men’ line got old the moment we realized it was just a line. Men have to tip-toe around any generalization, but women do it mid- breath and we just have to accept it.
It’s all exhausting. I’m staying single. I may date. But that’s it.
I love to listen to people. I’ve always wanted to become a therapist. But now the doe says it’s not professional smh
I just live to hear reasonable people speak. This is like ASMR.
Can I pet your dog, crazy eyes?
me screaming as soon as I saw the dog lol
She is so concise! There’s a lot packed into each response.
Not only is she spot on but very generous with her awesome psychoanalysis skills. Love this Q&A.
Truth is the Shadow of Trust ✨️
My opinion and experience
That dog is ridiculous 😂 too cute
anticipated witnessing my husband with the very individual he had once vowed to sever all contact with. The experience was disorienting like something out of a nightmare.
I’m truly sorry you’re experiencing this. I faced something similar about two years ago. At the time, my cousin recommended I speak with Father Tosin Ayodele for counseling. His guidance helped my husband and me immensely my husband even offered a sincere apology. Seeking help truly made a difference. You might consider speaking with him as well.
Thank you for your kind words. I’ll definitely look into contacting him.
his on google
I really enjoyed this video. (Or, should I say “session”. lol) Thank you for doing this! 🙂
geez this lady is the platonic idea of a couples therapist
i am on my wifes account. She ordered food only for herself; this is bad man; she really doesn’t love me. what should I do?
She hit me for posting that comment
help
Female and male friends are what probably cause that 56% divorce rate It’s not so it’s a mutual agreement like a preventative measure
Horrible advice. This is the type of advice responsible for most of societal issues today.
Her show was amazing
The communication exercises in this video are so accessible and realistic. It’s encouraging to see tools that don’t require major effort but still create connection. Really helpful for any couple wanting to grow together. For more personalized support, MindShift Wellness Center also offers therapy centered on building healthier relationship patterns.
