If you’ve read Anne Rice’s The Vampire Chronicles, you already know the tonal whiplash that comes with moving from Interview with the Vampire into The Vampire Lestat. If you haven’t, the new season premiere of AMC’s critically acclaimed vampire series, an episode called “Detroit,” will do an admirable job of disorienting you anyway — in both good and occasionally overwhelming ways. After a two-year break, Interview with the Vampire returns rebranded, louder, and more in-your-face as it steps into its third season. The series now fully embraces The Vampire Lestat, shifting its focus to Lestat de Lioncourt and the myth-making…

Finding a romantic partner is no small task. Neither is figuring out an answer to the age-old question, “Who am I?” Can these two tasks be pursued simultaneously? Or, must you “know yourself” before you’re able to have a successful relationship? Prioritizing the Self May Support Finding Love You probably know someone who dated regularly, decided to focus on themselves, and then found their dream partner. The classic story goes something like this: A friend jumps from serious relationship to serious relationship, finding a new partner very quickly after the last. They adopt the habits of their “now” partner, only…

We are in the midst of a childhood mental health epidemic, and one thing is clear: Our children are suffering. The causes of the epidemic are multiple and varied. For example, social psychologist Jonathan Haidt (2024) has argued convincingly that smartphones and social media have taken a toll on children’s well-being. The Impact of Shifting Parenting Practices Over Time Another factor, however, deserves attention: the possibility that in less than a century, modern Western families have drifted away from parenting practices that existed for millennia, which likely helped children become more cooperative, emotionally stable, and resilient. Journalist Michaeleen Doucleff explored…

I spend a lot of time talking to clients who are coming to terms with their autism diagnosis. For many, the initial act of working up to an assessment and receiving confirmation that they are autistic comes with a massive sense of relief. It brings answers, it explains past experiences, and it provides a sense of permission to start changing their lives as they move forward. This is backed up by research into the experiences of women diagnosed as autistic1. That initial sense of relief, though, often comes and goes, and post-diagnosis autistic adults often struggle with their identity. They…

Infidelity is as old as relationships itself. Early definitions of infidelity centered around sexual infidelity, a physical transgression outside of the primary relationship. Over time, experts started to expand its definition to include emotional infidelity, which occurs when someone forms a deep emotional bond and possibly falls in love with someone outside of that primary relationship. Studies show some gender differences in how people react to cheating: Men appear to be more hurt by physical transgressions, while women feel more betrayed when they believe that that their male partners have cheated emotionally. Interestingly, this gender difference was only seen in…

Psychologically speaking, twins are born as twins and as individuals with a passion for their individuality and the fun and comfort of having someone who understands them very deeply. Side by side and intertwined, both identities continue to grow and mature together. Once a twin, always a twin, even though the nature of the twin relationship changes over time and with the environmental and internal stress that creates necessity for many types of significant life changes. Unlike single born children, individuality evolves in the context of being a twin. And twinship always includes individuality in spite of a desperate need…
