  • Do You Hear What I Hear?: When Silence Speaks Volumes [Brad and Kate - Part 2]

    In this episode of Room for Two, Dr. Finlayson-Fife shows the couple that their guardedness isn't protecting their relationship—it's suffocating it. She helps Brad understand that Kate can handle the truth, even when it validates her fears. And she helps Kate see that her own ambivalence and self-protection are also keeping her from the clarity she's seeking. There aren't any real secrets between them—just truths that haven't been spoken yet. See show notes for dialogues.

  • Understanding Sexual Shame

    In this NEW episode, Dr. Finlayson-Fife joins Chris Rich of The Mixed-Faith Relationship Podcast to unpack where sexual shame comes from and how it shows up in adulthood.
