Episode Details:
In this conversation with Dr. Assael and Galit Romanelli, we dive deep into the realms of relationship psychology, and human behavior. This is a follow up to the episode “The Best Therapist You’ve Never Had: With Assael Romanelli.”
Dr. Assael Romanelli is in his third marriage to his first wife. Their experience is not just a romantic tale, but it's also filled with valuable nuggets about maintaining a thriving relationship, being open to self-development, and creating lasting intimacy.
How do you respond when faced with conflict in your relationship? Dr. Assael and his wife Gila open up about their own struggles, sharing insightful tips on managing conflict, renegotiating needs, and the importance of effective communication. They introduce us to the concept of 'differentiation in relationships,' which they attribute as a significant factor in building their own strong connection. They aren’t shy about discussing self-esteem, self-validated intimacy, and even the uncomfortable weight gain discussions, giving us a real look at what it means to be in a longstanding, authentic partnership.

Dr. Assael, a renowned psychologist with decades of experience, brings his expertise and unique perspective to our conversation. Galit is an accomplished researcher and advocate for mental health. She complements Dr. Assael's knowledge with her passion for understanding the intricacies of the human mind. Together, they explore a wide range of topics, including relationships, personal growth, mindfulness, and navigating the challenges of modern life.
