Research tell us that living together before marriage increases the probability of a couple getting divorced by 50%. Yea, you read that correctly... you are MORE likely to get divorced if you live with you partner before you get married. So, does that mean you shouldn't do it? Kat isn't quite convinced that that should be the main takeaway from this information...

This week, Kat dives into cohabitation before marriage... Should couples do it? And wait- what if someone doesn't want to get married ever- are they allowed to live with their partners?

Apparently millennials are getting married later in life and realizing that life isn't just about creating the nuclear family we grew up watching on tv. . . so how is this effecting divorce rates? You'll hear about this PLUS Kat and her fiancé, Patrick Van Buren, talk about how their views on living with a partner before marriage have shifted throughout both their lives.

You Need Therapy - What is Narcissism?

What is Narcissism?

You Need Therapy

12/07/20 • 45 min

Ever called someone a narcissist? I would bet some money that you have. The word narcissist has become somewhat trendy these days and along with that we are seeing a huge rise in people who have the traits associated with the word in America right now. That is why, this week I (@kat.defatta) brought back my friend Kellyn (@kellynjo) to get the truth out there when it comes to what narcissism really is. I explain the difference between having traits of narcissism and having Narcissistic Personality Disorder as well as tell you what it feels like to find yourself in a relationship with someone with the disorder. It was a labor of love and something I think is extremely important to educate others on. And if you have any questions about the topic go ahead and email [email protected]. Enjoy.

This week is a special week because Patrick, AKA Big P, AKA Kat's boyfriend joins the podcast for the FIRST TIME (and hopefully not the last). Have you ever found yourself crying over something like mustard being put on your burger when you asked for ketchup or getting tots instead of fries? How about getting cream cheese on your bagel when you asked for butter? Chances are- you know exactly what we are talking about and this week Kat is walking listeners through the most recent time she cried over getting the wrong food order.

Why do small inconveniences sometimes take away our ability to utilizes rational thinking and drive us to make these mountains out of molehills? What is underneath our inability to regulate our emotions in the moment? Kat talks about how she processed her "dramatic" moment and brings Patrick on to give his take on what he saw going on as it was happening. Learn how to gain information about your needs during experiences when it feels like your disappointment is someone else's fault.

You Need Therapy - Choosing Authenticity Over Other's Expectations
play

06/14/21 • 40 min

This week Kat (@kat.defatta) is FREAKING PUMPED to have her friend Max Barry (@maxtbarry) on the show to talk about some things that have been ON HER MIND the past couple of weeks. Kat started reading the book, Man Enough, by Justin Baldoni and has had a couple revelations about the normative culture we are surrounded by. In this episode, Kat sits down and has a very real and raw conversation about how societal norms encourage some individuals to not choose themselves. Max walks us through his story of self discovery when it comes to his sexuality, shares with us a very important perspective on what it feels like to try to fit in as a "man" in our culture today, and discusses what he believes needs to change in order to allow more humans to find full freedom to be who they are. And TBH the timing is impeccable because... HAPPY PRIDE MONTH.

Kat also shares about a charity event that is happening in Nashville on June, 20, 2021: Songs to End ALZ: an evening benefiting The Longest Day & the Alzheimer’s Assocation

This is the episode that could not have been timed any better. This week it is all about feeling lonely and sitting in the pain of hope; hope for what we feel is missing in our lives. Sarah Aughtman, a fellow therapist, sits down with Kat (@threecordstherapy) & Megan (@meganMoir) to talk about her walk with her own loneliness and her experience being single. Together, they process what it's like to be in a space of "want" and Sarah tells us why she believes singleness is more of a calling than a curse.
