Summary

On today's episode of ShrinkChicks, Emmalee and Jen have the pleasure of sitting down with Dr. Tracy Dalgleish! Dr. Tracy is a clinical psychologist, couples therapist, and author who specializes in the topics of resentment, the mental load, and other challenges that can show up in our partnerships. They start the episode off by diving into the complicated emotion of resentment and how resentment connects to the mental load. Dr. Tracy shares about the common relationship dynamic that includes an overfunctioner and an underfunctioner and how we can get stuck in these roles. She answers your questions about getting out of the tit-for-tat/keeping score mentality, how to explain what the mental load is to a partner, guilt that comes up around sharing the mental load, releasing control to lighten your mental load, why we may resent the things that initially attracted us to our partners, and so much more!
