Emotional PhysicsMicro-Breakups: On relationships that seem to end just as soon as they have really begun, and how to remain CUNTY throughout. Featuring music by Lambrini Girls!In this week's episode, Tink and Gilly catch up on relationship experiences present and past. Gilly shares her love for the relational freedom anthem of 2025, Lambrini Girls' song Cuntology 101, and an accidental listening party for two that she recently hosted on a dinner date. We field a listener question on Micro-Breakups, or what we call the particular confusion and non-specific ache when relationships end a couple of months in, right when we might have started getting cozy and settling in. We talk about how to grieve the hopes you had perhaps *just* started allowing yourself to have, how to sta...2025-07-3138 minEmotional PhysicsHow To Ease Into Kink: From talking about talking about it, to getting a dominatrix action figure in your own likenessToday's episode addresses a listener question on how to consider what kink might have to offer them, particularly after a shame-based history around sex from a strict religious upbringing. We bring in shrinky topics like staying within a "window of tolerance" (maybe a tiny bit edgy but very close to the sphere of what feels safe and familiar at first) when expanding after the constriction of a traumatic experience, while also defining some of the basics of what is often considered the realm of kink for those who might be interested but may not have much context. We also ta...2025-07-2441 minEmotional PhysicsAll My Friends Hate It When I'm In A Relationship! Jumping into the basket of romance without overturning the lettuce display of friendshipIn this week's episode, we catch each other and you the listeners up on our travels over the last few weeks, including an exploration of the high concentration of ex-partners cluttering the grocery stores of the great state of Vermont. We also respond to a listener question about struggles to balance friendship and relationships, and skepticism or withdrawal from friends that can then occur when we get into a new relationship. Tink and Gillian analyze why they themselves have in their youth past lost themselves in relationships and abandoned friendships, only to come crawling back without acknowledgement once in a...2025-07-1738 minEmotional PhysicsBonus Episode: An unsupervised early conversation on non-monogamy and queernessWe are both on vacation this week, so we took our cues from you, our listeners! Before we got our producer and started recording for real, we spent about a year meeting each week, recording our conversations like wierdos, and honing in on what we wanted the podcast to be about. One such conversation in the summer of 2024 generated some of the clips that have been most popular on our instagram account, and have caused y'all to ask us "Hey, where is the episode with this conversation in it??" Fair enough, friends, so we had our producer do his be...2025-07-1035 minEmotional PhysicsTopping In The Apocalypse: Atopcalypse? Apocatop?This week Tink and Gillian answer a listener question on the pressure on tops (those who tend to lead, or "do" the action in sexual engagement while bottoms might tend to submit to, allow or receive the action) to perform sexually, and how to handle it in relationships when a top is simply too pooped. Or depressed. Or understandably overwhelmed. By the terrifying times. We are all living in. But especially those of us who don't fit the cookie-cutter societal expectation. In this episode we cover: ADHD-specific clothing destruction tactics, fighting the helplessness and dissociation that unhealthy power...2025-07-0340 minEmotional PhysicsWhose Business Is This? How, when and why to share sensitive information with new partnersThis week Gillian and Tink answer a listener question about how to navigate disclosing things like mental health diagnoses, trauma histories, health information, or anything else that we might feel shame about or might give a partner pause. We discuss considerations of whose business is what based on potential impact at different stages of dating, as well as how to think about sharing what we know about the "care and feeding" of ourselves and our nervous systems, as early as we feel we might really like someone, not out of owing or altruism but actually out of a selfish d...2025-06-2632 minEmotional PhysicsWho's Doing What and What's Doing to Who? All about threesomes and how we can prepare for and execute them well.Today's show answers a listener question specific to how monogamous coupled-up folks can best prepare for, talk about and have fun with threesomes! We discuss how common this fantasy is, and how important it is to actually start at the level of fantasy when bringing new ideas into the sexual repertoire, including some fun role-play to try before a real third person ever enters the mix. We also discuss how to set healthful and ethical expectations going into a threesome, as well as how to avoid being a dreaded "unicorn hunter" or a coupled-up duo forgetting about the three di...2025-06-1939 minEmotional PhysicsOnce You Hit Magma You Can Text Them Back: How to navigate blooming into new love while grieving old love?In this episode Tink and Gillian dive into one of our favorite topics which wierdly enough is actually grief! But before you fear that this episode will be a huge downer, take heart because this episode is actually about:1. Finding the wisdom, relief, stillness and "aha" quality of grief2. Courageously relinquishing the idea that you need to be healed before finding new love3. Developing a map of positive signs that you are ready to date while grieving4. Recognizing that grief is a shared human experience both bigger than but also more c...2025-06-1235 minEmotional PhysicsLonely vs. Alone: How can we carry our seasons of single-hood with grace and panache?In this episode, Tink and Gillian answer a question from a listener who is choosing a single life right now, but is wondering how to sit wisely with loneliness when it arises. We discuss aloneness versus loneliness, and take a look at our cave person/survival brain's tendency to create the negative experience of loneliness by telling us that we must be alone due to having been rejected, punished, or otherwise left to be eaten by the wildebeests. We discuss therapy tools from modalities like Internal Family Systems therapy and somatic therapy to both interrogate and find compassion for lo...2025-06-0535 min

Gillian identifies some things that have tended to hold her back in doing this, in particular middle-school lingering fears of rejection, or even of it being shameful to be a human in the world with eyes and ears who might potentially look at or jump into the conversation of someone else in a public space. Together, we discuss some psychological ideas about confidence, authenticity, and balancing discernment with loving like you ca...2025-05-2941 minStance of CuriositySocial Humility: Replacing confusion with curiosity.

He developed and pr...2025-05-2655 minEmotional PhysicsFightin' Words: How can we level up the fighting style to make our relationships powerful cauldrons of growth and maturation?In this episode we address fighting, a big topic as far as both listener questions and our couples therapy practices. We discuss ways that we actually are in favor of fighting at times, and note that a fight with a healthy repair can create even more strength in a relationship than never having had any rupture (rip in the fabric of harmony and getting along) at all. As always we share some of our own stories to illustrate topics like:- How fights with partners are uniquely positioned to illuminate our blind spots and give us...2025-05-2243 minStance of CuriosityWhat do we think about technology use among kids and teens now?Gillian and Joelle discuss their ever-evolving professional opinions on technology, social media, and video gaming use among elementary, middle, and high school students. While it may seem clear what schools should do in elementary and middle school, high school turns out to still be an area of debate. Joelle proposes that setting clear boundaries is easier than it may seem. Gillian offers nuance from neurodiversity-affirming practice and what she is learning from self-advocates. Our thinking may have even evolved during this conversation! Join us to see how your experiences line up with our current opinions. Find...2025-05-1942 minEmotional PhysicsMountain Dew Donuts and Fiat Flamingos: Why partners embarrass us sometimes and how we can handle itIn this episode, we take a look at the theme of embarrassment in relationships, based on several listener questions on the topic including:1. How can I get my partner to stop being so embarrassing?2. Why is my partner so embarrassed by me?and3. Why do I find myself roasting or trying to embarrass my partner sometimes when I know this isn't cool behavior?As always Tink and Gillian share some tales of their own historical foibles and what they have learned from them.

Roger shares his approaches to supporting students in the context of heightened stress and certainty. He shares a strategy that utilizes routine, writing, and connection to support students to access learning even when they are contending with powerful emotions. Some themes that emerge include self-trust, sharing the worry, and always having a plan.

We have gotten several different questions on this topic and WE GET IT being serial-friend-crushers ourselves. We do our best to get to all of it in this episode including:1. Should I tell my friend I have a crush on them? If so, how? Is it bad not to tell them?2. Is there a way to tell if my friend is also crushing on me?3. Why do I keep getting crushes on my f...2025-05-0840 minStance of CuriosityWhat is PDA (Pathological Demand Avoidance/Persistent Drive for Autonomy) and is it a new thing?Gillian and Joelle talk about the framework of PDA and how it can both reinforce approaches we have long-used very wisely, as well as inspire some new ways of understanding student responses and needs. As with any new concept, we can temporarily lose our sense of confidence and competence. The ideas offered by the PDA framework can also increase our depth of understanding of the capacity for our community to support all learners. Joelle and Gillian talk through some examples to play around with how the ideas offered through PDA can help us anticipate the reaction to various strategies and...2025-05-0539 minEmotional PhysicsWhy romance can make us all a bit harebrained and how to let it in without wrecking your lifeIn this episode we answer a listener question from someone who finds themselves avoiding their romantic longings out of fear that love might, once again, wreck the many awesome things going on in their independent life. We talk about the neurobiology of how and why a big romantic spark can make humans feel both so disoriented and so vulnerable. Gillian brings out the super shrinky psychoanalytic theory to identify how new relationship energy can even dissolve people into a regressed infantile state at times, causing us to misperceive any old hottie as some idealized partner/caregiver who is perfectly a...2025-05-0139 minStance of CuriosityCommon mistakes to avoid and interpersonal tweaks to try when fostering connection with stressed kidsGillian and Joelle chat about frequent suggestions that they make to school teams to support students who are strugging to cope effectively. They talk about the specific ways that we can approach a stressed person to help assure their needs will be met, validate their emotions, and move forward together successfully. The strategy of replacing “You need…” with “I need…” along with other ideas helps align with the child against the problem, invite them to an alternate approach, and co-regulate. In the stampede of the public school pace, school professionals are working to intentionally set their own personal pace and adjust the...2025-04-2842 minEmotional PhysicsYou Can't Say That About My Mom: Why in-law conversations so often go south and what to do insteadIn this episode Gillian and Tink answer a listener question about discussing within a partnership things about each others' family patterns that we don't want to repeat in our present-day dynamic. Risky business, folks! We considered:Why the childhood survival brain makes people so reactive to criticism of their parents How to "go first" acknowledging the challenges of your own family of origin before offering feedback on your partners' parentsTaking a balanced look together at the gifts and drawbacks of the dynamics of each partner's family and cross-referencing these against shared values and intentions for the futureWhy we hav...2025-04-2442 minStance of CuriosityStaying Curious and Presuming Competence With Non-Speaking LearnersGillian offers a version of the stance of curiosity that will guide our approaches with students who are non-speaking. Our culture is so reliant on spoken communication that we can have implicit bias that influences our social behavior to under-estimate the capacity of those who communicate via different channels. How can we change our mindset to presume the competence of non-speaking learners, while taking responsibility to adjust the pace, volume, and language that we use in our conversations without talking down? Joelle adds ideas related to problem solving including attunement, educated guesses, and modeling. Visual tools are brought up as a...2025-04-2135 minEmotional PhysicsWhen Is It Time To Leave a Relationship?Today Tink and Gillian answer a listener question about how to determine when a relationship needs to end? How do we figure this out for ourselves? And when would we how would we ever reflect to close friends if we have a sense that their relationship might need to end? As always we start with some tangential tales, this time including parrots and dolphins, but we swing right around to foundational ideas like:1. The telltale signs of "Wrong Life Syndrome" 2. The personal factors as far as wellness, values, and what you want a given relationship to "...2025-04-1740 min

This pattern often comes up among students who do not have the basic human need met of feeling special in some part of their lives. Sometimes this pattern comes up when students have family lives outside of school in which their parents are overwhelmed, the student is in foster care, or the student feels anxious about parental well-being. This can also come up when school-based tra...2025-04-1439 minEmotional PhysicsCommitment Beyond The Norm: Without the assumptions of a heteronormative relationship escalator, how can we figure out where to go next in our partnerships?In today's episode Gillian and Rebekah respond to a listener question on navigating casual sex, situationships, and considering deeper commitment outside the standard box of the heteronormative expectation and timeline. We discuss pontoon boats, the plural of moose, and the attachment styles of ghosts. Even still, we arrive at some ideas for how you can deeply inquire of yourself what you truly want and need, taking into account your current capacity, desire, and sense of easefulness and expressiveness for and with those you are around. We also discuss common pitfalls as far as an un-interrogated need to be chosen, an...2025-04-1038 minStance of CuriosityHow do you cope when uncertainty and change become constant?A liminal experience is a concept related to an "in between" time in which there is both familiarity and disruptive change. Joelle and Gillian talk about the impact of the many significant challenges of public schooling in the past five years including the COVID-19 pandemic, staffing shortages, budgetary changes, and the current political context. They talk through how to deal with all this, with the conclusions that:Grounding can be found in one’s values, core beliefs, and goals. Complex communities can create space for varied coping styles. We can be a source of guidance for our students not by...2025-04-0741 minEmotional PhysicsEverlasting Lust: How can sexual heat be maintained as relationships age? And what do we do when it can't?Rebekah and Gillian explore a listener question on the relationship between lust and love, and the common predicament of dwindling lust in a long term relationship. Discoveries include: Some evolutionary psych intel on the different instinctual drives of hunting versus nesting and how these might relate to different kinks as well as ebbs and flows in lustA relationship anarchy lens on combing out and giving equal weight to the platonic, romantic, and sexual elements of our closest bondsThe role having kids with someone can play in amping up the "family" brainwaves of relationships and confusing or muting the "lu...2025-04-0334 minEmotional PhysicsCheating Part 2: But wait, is there a way forward after cheating? How do people repair?Rebekah and Gillian come back to finish the conversation on cheating, with the important element of how they have seen couples successfully repair after infidelity. Personal responsibility and accountability, as well as distress tolerance seem to be the superpowers used by partners we have seen be successful in learning from, healing from, and growing together after betrayal. We talk about needing to be perfect in front of a partner, and unprocessed shame in general, as both a risk factor for cheating in the first place, and a block to repairing afterward. We also discuss some reasonably unhinged strategies for bur...2025-03-2636 minEmotional PhysicsCheating Part 1: What is cheating, really, and can it be prevented?Rebekah and Gillian respond to a listener question about cheating by taking a look at:What kinds of “cheating” (really, betrayal) exist in relationships from the sexual to even the financial or informational! We consider how relationship agreements can help to clarify what cheating really means for each partnership, and how can we normalize talking about these agreements early and often before painful confusion, accidental, or plausibly-deniable betrayal come into the picture. We also talk about that darn amygdala/survival brain and how unmet needs can pair with unexamined fears leading us down the path of sneaky or damagin...2025-03-2041 minEmotional PhysicsFinding freedom in relationship and why non-monogamy isn't always the solution we might expectIn today’s episode Rebekah and Gillian respond to a listener question about the dismay of finding that non-monogamous relationship structures can sometimes end up feeling just as confining and trapping as monogamous structures! So disappointing! What’s a seeker of liberated love to do? Rebekah and Tink share some ideas, identifying how a sense of feeling trapped in relationship is likely less about number of partners, and more about the unexamined questions of “what is it that I feel I can’t do, in this relationship? Where did I get that idea? What would it take for me to check th...2025-03-1338 minEmotional PhysicsCan I Get A Witness: A psychological deep-dive on the validation we seek from romantic partnersGillian gets into a vortex of shrinky theory (she does this a lot) and brings in Kohut's theory of Self Psychology, which defines some primary things that children need to get from their caregivers to develop well. Today we focus on the first of these which is "mirroring," or a caregiver's ability to reflect back to a child that they are loved and special because GUESS WHAT, how this did or didn't happen for us will directly impact the ways that we will crave to be witnessed and seen by our romantic partners! Gillian and Tink reflect on their ow...2025-03-0634 minEmotional PhysicsDopamine Dragons and Spacious Starts: How not to lose yourself in your relationshipIn this episode, Gillian and Tink answer a listener's question about individuality in relationship, and how to maintain independence and connection to self while in a committed, monogamous relationship. They dive deep into the theme of family systems and "individuation" or: how it worked or didn't work to be our own people in the company of the adults who raised us and how autonomy was or wasn't nurtured. They answer questions like: "How do we avoid enmeshment?" "How do we stay present in our bodies and authentically grounded while in romantic attachments?" So often we lose connection to our ow...2025-02-2735 min

When we are experiencing big emotions but can’t show them, this can contribute to something called “allostatic load,” or the stress response our bodies and brains have to try to address a problem and come back to homeostasis. Joelle and Gillian consider an “emotional parking lot” to remind us of big emotions that we needed to “put somewhere else” during the day but may still need a chance...2025-02-2442 minEmotional PhysicsIt’s an I Believe You Party and everyone’s invited!Patterns of codependency and manipulation can really sneak into romantic relationships despite the best intentions of all involved. An "I Believe You" Party is one of our favorite tools to keep thinking clearly, to honor ourselves, to stay in our own business, let go of the pressure to convince the other person of anything including our own worth, and to treat partners with compassion even during conflict. We can throw this party for ourselves and/or a partner when we accept and offer acknowledgement that someone’s position is their position, even if we don’t like or agree with...2025-02-2042 minStance of CuriosityWhy should play be prioritized in school?Gillian and Joelle talk about the importance of including scheduled time to play in the school routine. Recess is unstructured child directed play and offers students a time for movement, fresh air, social connection, creativity, and a break from responding to task demands. Elementary school students also have semi-structured child directed play in which the teacher creates stations in the classroom and children choose among play options. These times are often called “choice” or “explore” time. Choice time includes the presence of the highly skilled regular educator who can model and teach emotional regulation and social cognition in situations that are typ...2025-02-1736 minEmotional PhysicsWhat is Emotional Physics and who are Rebekah and Gillian?In this episode Rebekah Tinker and Gillian Boudreau introduce themselves, and this: The question-based podcast exploring all things romance, love and lust particularly within non-traditional containers and setups.

Both note that despite the nervousness parents and psychologists both can feel before letting children know about an autism diagnosis, these conversations are typically somewhere between neutral and very positive for the children and adolescents receiving the information. Joelle and Gillian stress the importance of getting informing adults connected to a neurodiversity affirming stance that autism is not bad news, before as promptly as possible sharing with a ch...2025-02-1038 minStance of CuriosityVibe Check! Teaching the skills of self-monitoring and situational awarenessGillian and Joelle talk about the skill of self-monitoring, which is an executive functioning skill in which one can self-evaluate and take a “bird's-eye view” to see how one’s emotions, thoughts, and actions are working to meet their goals. This goals is related to but unique from situational awareness, which is the skill of recognizing the focus, actions, and energy of a group of people. In both cases, the awareness of self and social context can inform how the person may need to adjust their internal state or actions to meet goals and successfully join groups.

A “parking lot” is a tool that can help with impulsivity and calling out in the group. Having an idea, then sorting through whether it is a helpful idea for the group in the moment, and THEN figuring out how to “shelve” and remember it for later if it’s not a “right now’ thing are an incredibly complex set of mental and emotional tools that kids need to model and practice before they can do independently. T...2025-01-2735 minStance of CuriosityOur Go-To Strategies!Gillian & Joelle share two of their most common suggestions when consulting with educators and clinicians working with kids. “Step over the behavior” helps us connect with the need and emotion driving negative behavior, shift engagement to be more positive for all, and protect us from taking on stress that is not ours to own. “Two by ten” is a strategy of spending two minutes per day for ten consecutive days sitting nearby and focusing on a student with whom you have a tricky connection. This can look like joining their action, asking connecting questions, and always looks like sitting next to and...2025-01-2036 minStance of CuriosityHow do we know if we are helping or making things harder?Joelle & Gillian discuss the tension between offering support and skills to help people build stress tolerance for growth promoting opportunities and validating and supporting those who are experiencing anxiety and trauma response.
