About this episode

Have you listened to the FULL EPISODE yet?

Renowned relationship expert Esther Perel challenges the notion that affairs only happen in troubled relationships, revealing that even people in happy partnerships can stray. She explores the dual perspective of infidelity, highlighting the betrayal and hurt it causes, but also the underlying longing for emotional connection, intensity, and a sense of aliveness that drives people to seek affairs. Esther emphasizes the importance of understanding the different versions of oneself that emerge in various relationships and the need to integrate these parts for personal growth and relationship satisfaction. Through her insightful analysis and thought-provoking questions, Esther invites listeners to examine their own relationships and the role they play in creating desire and maintaining a sense of curiosity and exploration with their partners.
