Esther Perel || Love, Eros, and Infidelity
Exciting news: The Psychology Podcast got a makeover! We are now officially a member of the Stitcher / SiriusXM family, along with Bill Nye and Levar Burton. Check out our new cover art and new theme music!
In this episode, I talk to renowned psychotherapist and author Esther Perel about love and relationships. We tackle the true essence of the word “eros” and “freedom” in the context of romantic relationships. Esther offers her perspective on marriage and affairs, getting to the root cause of why people cheat. With the redefinition of fidelity and sexuality, our current society is still learning how to navigate new patterns of relationships. We also touch on the topics of soulmates, masculinity, how to keep passion alive during a global pandemic, and Esther’s practice as a cross-cultural therapist.
