We Need To Talk with Dr. Darcy SterlingWe Need To Talk with Dr. Darcy SterlingWhat We Get Wrong About Supporting a Struggling FriendMost of us think we’d know how to help if someone we loved was struggling with their mental health.But here’s the truth: Mental health crises rarely look the way we expect. They don’t come with warning sirens or dramatic breakdowns. They come with canceled plans. Short texts. “I’m just tired.” A fake smile and a quick change of subject.In this episode of We Need to Talk, I sat down with Dr. Joseph Donnelly and Elena Saldutti—two experts in Mental Health First Aid—to talk about the signs we miss, t...2025-05-0650 minWe Need To Talk with Dr. Darcy SterlingWe Need To Talk with Dr. Darcy SterlingThe Right Way to Show Up for Someone Who’s GrievingMost people are going to want to skip this episode.I get it—grief is uncomfortable. It’s messy. It brings up stuff we’d rather avoid.But if you want to develop strong relationship skills—if you want to be the kind of person who shows up when it matters—this is mandatory listening.We don’t talk about grief until we have to. And even then, most of us don’t know what to do. Do we check in? Give space? Bring up the loss—or avoid it altogether?In this...2025-04-2944 minWe Need To Talk with Dr. Darcy SterlingWe Need To Talk with Dr. Darcy SterlingBad Therapy Is a Real Thing—And It’s More Common Than You ThinkTrying to find the right therapist can feel like a job—especially when every Psychology Today bio starts sounding the same.

We fear being judged, misunderstood, or canceled—so we stay silent. Or worse, we speak at each other instead of with each other. But real connection isn’t about having the perfect words. It’s about showing up with curiosity, intention, and presence—even when it’s uncomfortable.In this powerful conversation, I’m joined by legendary therapists and relationship experts Dr. Harville Hendrix and Dr. Helen LaKelly Hunt, creators of Imago Therapy and authors of the new book How to Talk With Anyone Ab...2025-04-151h 08We Need To Talk with Dr. Darcy SterlingWe Need To Talk with Dr. Darcy SterlingHow to Know If You’re the Problem in Your RelationshipsDo you keep ending up with the same type of partner—different face, same red flags?Are your relationships lopsided—with one of you craving emotional intimacy, and the other can’t (or won’t) go there?Do you find yourself thinking, “Why does this keep happening to me?”If so, this episode is for you.At some point, we all have to stop pointing fingers and ask the harder question: What’s my role in this?Not to take all the blame.

Maybe you want to tell a friend they hurt your feelings. Or ask for a raise. Or bring up that thing your partner said that’s still bothering you.We all do it. But why? Why do we avoid conversations that could actually improve our relationships—and our lives?Most of us dodge these talks because we fear conflict or don’t want to hurt someone’s feelings.

And with 24/7 news cycles, social media outrage, and family group chats that feel like landmines, staying sane in this political climate can feel impossible.But how much of our political stress is actually within our control? How do we stay informed without feeling consumed?

But in reality, gaslighting is a relational dynamic. Its "success" hinges not only on the manipulator’s actions but also on the recipient's openness to self-doubt and questioning their own perceptions.Certain traits make people more vulnerable to gaslighting. These qualities often lead the person to trust the gaslighter's version of reality over their own. Gaslighters often choose partners who value harmony and trust over conflict, knowing their partner might be more willing to question themselves rather than the pers...2025-02-041h 00We Need To Talk with Dr. Darcy SterlingWe Need To Talk with Dr. Darcy SterlingNew Year, Old Triggers: Why Resolutions Fail Without Emotional HealingIt’s January, and everyone’s still buzzing about their New Year’s resolutions—promises to hit the gym, eat healthier, or finally start dating with intention. But the reality is, by mid-February, nearly 80% of those resolutions are abandoned. Why?Because willpower alone can’t outmuscle unresolved emotional wounds. The patterns you can’t seem to break—the procrastination, the self-sabotage, the over-committing—they’re often rooted in emotional triggers tied to unhealed pain. And until you address those triggers, goal-setting can feel like pushing a boulder uphill.Today, we’re diving into the emotional baggag...2025-01-2847 minWe Need To Talk with Dr. Darcy SterlingWe Need To Talk with Dr. Darcy SterlingGetting Personal with Dr. Darcy (and Steph!)Normally, I ask the questions, but this time, it’s your turn. To be honest, I’ve avoided doing an Ask Me Anything episode because I feel like I talk about myself too much.

It’s clumsy, it’s awkward, and for some, it’s completely off-limits.Research shows that only 2 out of 3 long-term partners know what their partner enjoys sexually, and just 1 in 4 knows what their partner dislikes.Why is it so hard to talk about something so fundamental to intimacy? And how could our relationships transform if we learned to communicate about sex with honesty and confidence?To answer these questions, I’ve invited Shannon Boodram—better known as Shan Boody.

What if our cultural narrative around sexuality and desire is part of what makes it so difficult to sustain?In this epi...2024-12-1050 minWe Need To Talk with Dr. Darcy SterlingWe Need To Talk with Dr. Darcy SterlingBlinded by Love: Why We Ignore Red FlagsWe've all been there—stuck in a relationship where red flags are hard to ignore, yet we find ways to dismiss them. We tell ourselves things will change, that it’s just a rough patch. But while we’re busy justifying, friends and family can see the reality far more clearly.Why are we often the last to recognize toxic patterns or to accept when a relationship has reached its limit? What keeps us holding on, even as the red flags pile up? In this episode, we dive into the psychology of ignoring red flags, exploring how mu...2024-12-0353 minWe Need To Talk with Dr. Darcy SterlingWe Need To Talk with Dr. Darcy SterlingNavigating Polyamory with Attachment TheoryOur early experiences with our caregivers creates a blueprint that influences how we trust, connect, and build relationships in adulthood. We call that blueprint our attachment style. And to keep it simple, that style will either be secure (ideally) or insecure (more likely). If you suspect or know that you have an insecure attachment style, don’t lose hope—healing is possible. And it often happens through our adult relationships—when we choose partners who help us feel safe, who show up for us consistently, who speak the truth, and who navigate conflict in ways that make us...2024-11-2645 minWe Need To Talk with Dr. Darcy SterlingWe Need To Talk with Dr. Darcy SterlingThe Passion Paradox in Long-Term Relationships with Dr. Emily JameaThere is nothing quite like the feeling you get when your new relationship becomes official. That shift from casual dating into knowing that you and your partner are truly becoming a committed team. You develop relationship rituals for when you see each other, and you’re beginning to create a framework for navigating life together. For so many people, it’s simultaneously grounding and intoxicating.But it’s almost inevitable that as relationship familiarity grows and partners become more secure with each other, that initial passion starts to wane.And it doesn’t just happen w...2024-11-191h 00We Need To Talk with Dr. Darcy SterlingWe Need To Talk with Dr. Darcy SterlingMeet The Breakup Therapist: Ginger DeanI have often fantasized that there should be a place where you can go for a week to heal from the devastating loss of a breakup.

But what if someone did?Today’s guest is Ginger Dean, a therapist who specializes in breakup recovery and guides people through the healing process after a breakup.

But today I want to shift the lens in this conversation to something that doesn’t get nearly enough attention: Childhood trauma, and how it connects to the mental health crisis underlying these violent acts.Today, we’re going to examine the long-term effects of childhood trauma and how it intersects with the kinds of violence we see in schools.

For some, it’s a tool for exploring curiosity. For others, the mere thought of their partner viewing porn crosses the line of infidelity. But no matter where you stand, there’s no denying that porn has the power to shape our understanding of sex, our desires, and how we relate to our partners.Today we’re diving into the psychological, emotional, and ethical dimensions of pornography’s influence on love, trust, and sexual s...2024-10-2257 minWe Need To Talk with Dr. Darcy SterlingWe Need To Talk with Dr. Darcy SterlingThe Reality of Dating When You’re A Reality Star with Tiffany PollardTiffany Pollard is a woman whose name has become synonymous with reality TV Royalty.

Being a dancer was. But I came to dance late — just before my 18th birthday — ancient by dance standards. Still, I was determined and auditioned to be a dance major in college. Dance training shaped me more as a person than as a dancer. Dance taught me discipline, perseverance, and the ability to tolerate failure. From the beginning, I knew I had to work twice as hard as everyone else because I started so late.

But we also want a partner to make us feel loved, safe and secure — and that means accepting the current version of us. The person we are today. To help us become tomorrow’s version, we place a partner in a double bind where they have to acknowledge a difference between today’s version and the version of us we’re capable of becoming. For that, they need to be able to see us through a critical lens. And...2024-09-1706 minWe Need To Talk with Dr. Darcy SterlingWe Need To Talk with Dr. Darcy SterlingCanceling Your Family with Dr. Joshua ColemanThe threads that bind us to our families have begun to feel optional in recent years. And in our culture of social media — where anyone with a phone can proclaim themselves to be an expert on subjects that they have no training or qualifications in — influencers are everywhere, some of them encouraging followers to end what they deem to be toxic relationships, or to break unhealthy cycles, or to rethink the obligation of being in our closest relationships. I am a fan of healthy relationships.

The excitement, the intense physical attraction, the space they take up in your mind — it can be all consuming. A new relationship is a high you can’t find in a drug.  Because of that, new partners can struggle to pace themselves — to slow their roll — so they don’t burn through those early months. Which is why pacing a new relationship can become its own thing. And because she is in a new relations...2024-08-2748 minWe Need To Talk with Dr. Darcy SterlingWe Need To Talk with Dr. Darcy SterlingEverything You Need To Know About Hormones with Karen Tang, MDPainful sex? Torturous periods?PMS that makes you feel like you should be wrapped in yellow caution tape?This episode is PACKED with answers to your HORMONE questions, and all the other “lady-problems” that women are shamed into silence about. In this conversation with TikTok sensation Dr. Karen Tang, you’ll learn:  If birth control causes long-term hormonal imbalances.How much period pain is too much pain.Whether hormone replacement therapy is really dangerous.AND… Dr. Tang debunks some of the biggest myth...2024-08-201h 11We Need To Talk with Dr. Darcy SterlingWe Need To Talk with Dr. Darcy SterlingThe Power of Attachment with Diane Poole HellerOne of the hottest topics in mental health is attachment theory, which is a psychological framework that posits that the way we bond to our primary caregivers creates a template for how we’ll move through relationships as adults. It goes like this: We learn how to love and how to get our needs met through the care we received from our primary caregivers. The extent to which they fulfilled our needs informs how we will then express our needs as adults and how we’ll respond to the needs of those closest to us, particularly, our pa...2024-08-131h 14We Need To Talk with Dr. Darcy SterlingWe Need To Talk with Dr. Darcy SterlingCommitment Phobes And The People Who Love ThemWe all know someone who manages to avoid fully committing to a relationship, either because we’ve dated them, or someone we love has. They may say they’re committed to you — they may even identify as being in a relationship — but there are things they Do or Don’t Do that leave you feeling like you’re standing on a house of cards: You don’t feel fully integrated into each other’s lives. They avoid making plans for the future. You feel like you’re chasing.

Her book, “More: A Memoir of Open Marriage” documents her journey as a Brooklyn Mom who ventures into the world of polyamory, as she opens her marriage. My interview with her sparked such a buzz from listeners — more than any other episode of WNTT.

Since you listen to this podcast, you probably think that the idea of boundaries is appropriate — that people should have the right to set them. But that doesn’t mean you find it easy to set boundaries. Humans, particularly women, are raised to be likable. And for a lot of people, “likable” and “boundaries” are oxymorons. I teach people how to set boundaries every week. But when it comes to setting them in my personal life, I squirm.

And what I can tell you is that throughout history, adults have consistently seen new technologies as potential threats, and we’ve been particularly concerned about the harm those technologies can have on children. It’s part of the reason why I’ve been slow to join the hand wringing around social media. Which doesn’t mean I’m dismissing the concerns. I’m clear that social media has played a role in triggering certain mental health issues. But a...2024-07-0942 minWe Need To Talk with Dr. Darcy SterlingWe Need To Talk with Dr. Darcy SterlingMicro-Marriages: Because “till death do us part” isn’t great odds.Marriage, today, is a very long partnership. Half a century or more, if you do it in your 20’s and you’re lucky enough to live out the average lifespan in the USA: 77. When I think about the length of that intended commitment, I wonder how reasonable it is that we expect anyone to make it. I’m going to use a very unromantic analogy here: Making a long-term commitment can be a little like a teacher who gets tenure. You just don’t try as hard. Because you don’t have to. You’ve...2024-06-2538 minWe Need To Talk with Dr. Darcy SterlingWe Need To Talk with Dr. Darcy SterlingWhy Some People Need To Hit Rock Bottom To Get Help, With Dr. Tamir AldadI love a good redemption story.And few things epitomize redemption better than successful recovery from addiction. One of the fundamental aspects to recovery is a notion that you have to hit rock bottom to realize you are no longer a recreational user who has any control over how much, when, and where you use. But what is it about needing to reach a breaking point in order to decide, once and for all, that you’re done using substances? Joining me in this discussion is Dr. Tamir...2024-06-1849 minWe Need To Talk with Dr. Darcy SterlingWe Need To Talk with Dr. Darcy SterlingSecrets: The Price Of Keeping QuietI keep secrets for a living. That’s more or less what a therapist does. But in my personal life, I don’t want anything to do with them. I don’t find delight in them whatsoever. To me, they’re an imposition. Humans are hardwired to feel valued when someone confides in us. It scratches an evolutionary itch that can leave us feeling bonded to the person who shared the secret. But that’s only the case when the secret doesn’t directly impact you. There’s an...2024-06-1113 minWe Need To Talk with Dr. Darcy SterlingWe Need To Talk with Dr. Darcy Sterling“You’re Not Listening!” with Stephanie SterlingGuess who you get to meet in this episode? My WIFE, Steph Sterling. Today’s topic is all about communication.And in the spirit of walking the walk, I felt there’d be no better person to have this conversation with than the person who is on the receiving end of the ways I communicate, so I invited my wife, Steph Sterling, to join me for this episode. Steph has been a practicing therapist for 18 years. She and I met when we were at NYU.

It’s not that I’m in denial.But as a relationship therapist, people generally come to me to avoid the D word. However, once divorce is on the table, guiding my client through the process can feel like we’re a team of two in need of more support.

But, to be clear, monogamy is a social construct. It is not inherent to our biology. That’s an important fact to keep in mind throughout today’s conversation with New York Times Best Selling author, Molly Roden Winter, whose recent book “More: A Memoir of Open Marriage,” documents her journey through non-monogamy. In this episode, you’ll learn: Why humans adopted monogamy as our dominant relationship construct (the answer is grim).The surprising response she got from her therapist about opening up her marriage...2024-05-0759 minWe Need To Talk with Dr. Darcy SterlingWe Need To Talk with Dr. Darcy SterlingHow To Heal PTSD with Dr. Laurel ParnellWhat you may not know about Post Traumatic Stress Disorder is that talk therapy is more likely to retraumatize you than to heal you. There’s a neurological explanation for why talk therapy is often ineffective for trauma:Talking about the bad thing that happened opens up the same networks in your brain that were activated when you were in the situation that traumatized you — and unless you also activate the part of your brain that knows how to organize that information, which a trauma-certified therapist can do — you won’t experience relief.

They describe themselves as having a “bad picker.” The problem was in their choice of partner — not in how they co-managed the relationship.Today, I’m making the argument that we all pick the wrong partner.You will pick a partner who, over time, will almost certainly feel like the wrong partner, and it actually doesn’t matter.

It’s more like a series of discussions in which the person discloses to their loved ones that they are not the expected default, and instead are lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer/questioning — or some combination thereof.The process of coming out is largely influenced by when a person comes out. Like, literally, the era they find themself living in, as well as by the culture they find themself living in. Gay rights has come a long way in the past 10...2024-04-1650 minWe Need To Talk with Dr. Darcy SterlingWe Need To Talk with Dr. Darcy SterlingWhy Your Life Sucks (and how to fix it)People who are unhappy in their lives have common denominators.

There’s a general sense of burnout — a fatigue that weekends and time off no longer cures.  Which makes sense to me from a mental health perspective.  Life, particularly in recent years, has felt incredibly unpredictable, and as humans, we can tolerate a lack of predictability for short periods of time.

How Feelings Are Weaponized Against UsI hate hearing, “You’re too sensitive.” Maybe because when I’ve been on the receiving end of it, a flood of shame has followed. On the rare occasion when it hasn’t made me hang my head, a defensive retort has usually flown out of my mouth, leaving me feeling like I just validated the judgment that was hurled at me, and I feel even worse.There’s something about “sensitivity” that causes people to discourage it.
