Two minutes into the podcast and I know this is going to be one of the best podcasts in a while. Every word Esther Perel utters seems to contain wisdom.
“taking responsibility is liberating because the only thing you can really change is you” so good!! 👌
"Listen more than you speak, understand more than you know and be present"
I would love to see more podcasts addressing mental illness in relationships. The same approaches and philosophies are not applicable. But many of us still desire a loving relationship.
"One person is more afraid to lose the other and one is fighting for their identity". Wow. Always seems to be one wanting the other more. Really need some more on that subject. Great show.
Esther Perel is the best therapist out there. Every podcast or TED Talks she gives is a mind blowing and frontier breaking experience. I learn every single time new techniques about relationships and all in all about life. Long live Mrs. Perel
I had a pretty upsetting argument with my girlfriend of five months, and it caused me to wake up at 4am. Somehow your interview with Esther popped up in my feed and I've been watching it and taking notes. I felt like I was losing my relationship with her due to the deeper self-evaluation we are having, and now I'm realizing a whole lot more that I need to work on with myself and with her. Thank you so much

I don't know why but I have been feeling really sad today, overthinking and dwelling on things I shouldn't. Watching this episode has really lifted my spirits and turned sad tears to happy, hopeful ones. Thank you Jay and Esther for a nourishing conversation 💗💗
The insight of this woman is unparalleled. Such a privilege to have access to her thoughts
Love love Esther Perel, she makes it so easy to understand relationships and is almost very accurate with most information. The best of two!!
"Why are you not competent so that I don't have to feel so helpless?" This applies to so many work situations as well!!
I really love any time someone lets Ester Perel guide them into her world of conflict resolution. Brilliant.
"My life is so important. Thank you for understanding it."
14 mins in and im weeping at my desk. So relieving to hear language given to confusing things
Cool video, My relationship of 5 years ended a month ago. The love of my life decided to leave me, I really love her so much I can’t stop thinking about her, I’ve tried my very best to get her back in my life, but to no avail, I’m frustrated, I don’t see my life with anyone else. I’ve done my best to get rid of the thoughts of her, but I can’t, I don’t know why I’m saying this here, I really miss her and just can’t stop thinking about her
Going through a breakup heartache. This is just what I needed
This woman is on another level of wisdom
Mind blown by the depth of insights in this conversation with Esther Perel ❤🧡 Who else feels like they just had a therapy session? ~ ⭐Forever Mind Story⭐
she is really the GOAT of relationship psychology
