Summary

Today on ShrinkChicks, Em and Jen are practicing what they preach by resting and taking the week off from a new episode. They don't want to leave you all hanging of course, so they're re-releasing one of their most listened-to episodes: Carrying The Mental Load. Emmalee and Jen break down the term "mental load," which is also known as cognitive labor. They discuss gender roles and how the mental load has historically fallen on women, the over-functioning/under-functioning dynamic in relationships and what it might look like, why the mental load falls onto the person who cares more, being the default parent, what to do when you feel like you’re the only one who knows how to do it "right," and so much more. Dear Em & Jen answers a listener's question about constantly having to remind her partner to help around the house. Tune in to gain insight, awareness, and action! Emmalee and Jen will be back with a new episode next week! Get Matched With One of Our Therapists! ShrinkChicks on Instagram Our new Know Yourself Grow Yourself Journal!!
