Hey, everyone listeners.

Today it's just me, and I'm going to be talking about the new movie called

Marriage Story.

A lot of people have been asking me to talk about this because it has a lot to do with psychology,

personality, relationships, marriage divorce, conflict, personality,

disorders, attachments, so I thought I would get into it in detail.

children. I've been with many people as they go through this in my clinical work. I sort of specialize in this sort of work.

for whatever reason,

partially because of my own professional interest and also

partially because of just becoming known for it, I have attracted a lot of clients who are suffering from this. It's a very common scenario where a couple

will come to me saying they are on the verge of divorce or for an individual adult to come to me and say that they're

thinking about divorce or for a person to come into me just having gone through a divorce or just

having gone through a breakup or something like this and so there's a lot of

pain and suffering that goes through you know people's lives as they go through this.

And it's a part of our society and experience

that we don't talk about that much.
