A Bit of Optimism · Why We Fall for the Wrong Person with Couples Therapist Dr. Harville Hendrix · 7 Jul 2026 podcast

Okay, so why don't we do that?

So we said, okay, we're going to practice what I preach, the dialogue process.

She was now still in the women's world, so she hadn't been teaching it very much then.

So we did that nine months of dialogue on a weekly basis.

And finally got to the point where we moved through our polarization and went through this revision in which we moved out of seeing each other as a resource.

Because that always generates frustration.

And see each other as a gift.

That generates gratitude.

And that is what transforms marriages.

A commitment because this therapist was a catalyst for that because she was so cruel in her diagnosis that we said, we'll show her.

Right.

And there was no therapy that would help us.

So we needed to use our own therapy and it worked.

And in fact, that transformed my own understanding of my own intellectual system.

Okay, so this is a technical thing.

So I'll say it right now.

When you're a baby, your orientation to the world is that my needs are outside of me.
