The Dr. Psych Mom Show with clinical psychologist Dr. Samantha Rodman Whiten

Many of my most highly successful clients are confused by the fact that they are able to excel in all arenas... except their marriages. Today I'll discuss why this happens, why it's not as unusual as you think, and why you should never fall into the trap of blaming your partner for it.

Why she doesn't.... or why she may not tell them to you! On this episode, we cover who may and who may not have fantasies, and what you may be doing to contribute to her not wanting to be open with you about fantasies she does have!

Increasingly, younger (under 35) women believe this is okay and in fact the only ethical solution to their desire not to have sex.

So many guys take their wife's low sex drive or lack of desire at times (even within the context of an average sex drive) personally... and manosphere content amplifies this inaccurate idea that you can change your wife's sex drive by being hotter/cooler/better. You cannot impact your wife's sex drive, just as she cannot impact yours. Here is how to use this info to be in a happier mar...

Some guys say that women will only want to date tall guys, or rich guys, or super hot guys, and this allows them to wallow in their negativity and not really put themselves out there when dating. Ironically, I've seen negativity be the only thing that women REALLY can't stand. Listen for why your "statistics" about Tinder swiping don't mean anything in terms of finding love....

So many people think they are just really smart, or conscientious, or realistic... but they are really suffering from Generalized Anxiety Disorder. Here's why it's harder to admit to anxiety than most other disorders, what anxiety actually looks like, and how to recognize if this is you or a spouse!

Many, many of my couples clients end up in my office after spending years with other couples therapists who told them, "When you get emotionally closer, the sex will follow." When this doesn't work, they come to me, as I work on sex and emotional closeness in parallel in therapy .  However, these therapists are not completely wrong, because their theory is true for a subset of women,...
