On this episode, we spoke to Eli Weinstein,  an incredible psychotherapist, husband, father, and fellow podcaster behind the Dude Therapist podcast. We chatted with him about what drew him to psychotherapy, and what he finds so special about helping people. He opened up about how hearing people’s difficult stories affects him, and the self-care he follows to stay grounded as a therapist. He then delves into what it’s like working specifically in couple’s therapy, and where he fits into the equation as a therapist. He celebrates the beauty of love, and the opportunity he has to help people figure out the puzzles of their relationships. He lets us on in the ingredients of a healthy relationship, and the top signs that a relationship isn’t going to work out. We dig deeper and talk about the significance of cheating, and if a relationship can genuinely be salvaged after cheating occurs. We then shift to the struggles of being single - especially in the Jewish community - and how to work on ourselves during singlehood by finding out what we need. He tells us more about why he started a podcast about mental health, and how many amazing people he’s had the opportunity of meeting and connecting with through his podcast. We discuss how Eli is able to manage his busy schedule and his mental health along with being a husband and a father. Apparently, Shabbat plays a major role in keeping him grounded. Finally, we wrap up the episode discussing New Years resolutions, and how we can realistically achieve them this time around. Connect with Eli via his website at eliweinsteinlcsw.com and his Instagram @eliweinstein_lcsw. Be sure to also tune into his podcast, The Dude Therapist.
