Notable Couples Therapist Guests on Lifestyle Show

Alongside Host Kevin Pennell, Dumbroff discussed a model she uses, with couples, called The Vulnerability Cycle. This model illustrates each partners vulnerabilities (what triggers them), along with their coping strategies, both of which are often developed in the families we grow up in. She goes on to discuss that we, unconsciously, take these early coping strategies into our adult relationships, but that context has changed and they are not necessarily useful in these situations. She uses relational genograms of each partner’s family to help them understand how their past informs their present.

Dumbroff also explored the complex nature of intimacy and the many ways it can be defined. Intimacy is allowing for vulnerability I think vulnerability is one of the hardest things for people. When were angry, its a lot harder to access those emotions.

She noted that going to therapy requires vulnerability and courage and applauded individuals for taking this initiative.
