Summary

Hey Heal Squad! We’re so happy to have Dr. Laura Berman back. She is, a New York Times best-selling author, podcast host, and relationship expert who’s spent 30 years helping people master love, intimacy, and connection—mind, body, and soul. Here she discusses the complex dynamics behind infidelity revealing that emotional disconnection and the need for validation can play major parts. Cheating is so opportunistic too! With modern social media acting as a "high school reunion on steroids," where people can be tempted by the idea of "the one that got away." Dr. Laura also explains why serial cheaters may be driven by a desire for the chase and dopamine hits rather than just sexual need. Let’s not hate the cheater just yet, rather learn about what’s really going on because like Dr. Laura mentions, anything can be addressed through better communication. -- HEAL SQUAD SOCIALS IG: https://www.instagram.com/healsquad/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@healsquadxmaria HEAL SQUAD RESOURCES: Heal Squad Website:https://www.healsquad.com/ Heal Squad x Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/HealSquad/membership Maria Menounos Website: https://www.mariamenounos.com My Curated Macy’s Page: Shop My Macy’s Storefront Prenuvo: Prenuvo.com/MARIA for $300 off Delete Me: https://bit.ly/43rkHwi Code: SQUAD EMR-Tek Red Light: https://emr-tek.com/discount/Maria30 for 30% off Airbnb: https://www.airbnb.com/ GUEST RESOURCES: More on Dr. Laura: https://drlauraberman.com/ Follow Dr. Laura on IG: https://www.instagram.com/drlauraberman/?hl=en Follow Dr. Laura on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@drlauraberman PRE-ORDER Sex Magic: https://www.amazon.com/Sex-Magic-Relationship-Spectacular-Intimacy/dp/1637746946 Transform Your Grief w/ Dr. Laura: https://drlauraberman.com/griefhealingcollective/ Check out Dr. Laura’s Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/language-of-love-with-dr-laura-berman/id1552549384 ABOUT MARIA MENOUNOS: Emmy Award-winning journalist, TV personality, actress, 2x NYT best-selling author, former pro-wrestler and brain tumor survivor, Maria Menounos’ passion is to see others heal and to get better in all areas of life.
