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…

Maybe you’re one of those people with a short fuse. It doesn’t take much to set you off, to go from 0 to 60 in a heartbeat, or even to lash out and blame others. Or, no, you’re at the other end of the spectrum, holding your emotions in or pushing them away through rationalization or self-blame. As Goldilocks discovered, there is a middle ground that is just right, and it is the key to being a responsible adult. Anatomy of running too hot. Yes, it starts with your parents and upbringing. If you grew up with emotionally volatile parents—or…

Co-authored with Vicente Estrada Gonzalez Many encounters in everyday life seem to confirm the cliché, “Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.” Maybe your teenager plays an unbearably cheesy song repeatedly enough that you start questioning the idea of genetic inheritance. Or another person’s bizarre fashion choices leave you bewildered. Perhaps the art hanging in a friend’s living room repulses you, making you wonder if you really know who they are. At the same time, many feel a strong intuition that some preferences are universal. Why do many people agree on which actors are attractive? Why do we trust…

What “thin” looks like and means in Western culture continues to morph over time, but one implied narrative threads it all together: the belief that the thinner body signifies a more psychologically controlled and more disciplined self. By making appetite suppression a chemical and physical process, the use of GLP-1s for weight loss ostensibly rewrites that narrative; but does it? While men increasingly face their own pressures around body size and physique, compulsary thinness has historically been directed most intensely at women. During the ‘90’s, the androgynous Kate Moss “heroine chic” image marketed deprivation as edgy and cool; then the…
