What happens to a relationship when trauma comes home?

In this episode of Let's Talk Psychology, Dr. Danny Derby and Osnat Cohen-Ganor speak with Prof. Candice Monson, one of the world’s leading experts on PTSD and a co-developer of Cognitive Behavioral Conjoint Therapy for PTSD - CBCT for PTSD.

Together, they explore how trauma affects not only the person who experienced it, but also the couple, the family, intimacy, communication, parenting, and everyday life at home. Prof. Monson explains how partners often try to protect and support each other, but may unintentionally accommodate PTSD symptoms in ways that maintain avoidance, distance, anger, and distress.

The conversation touches on returning home from war, the burden carried by partners, sexual withdrawal, walking on eggshells, hope, and the possibility of healing through connection.

A conversation about PTSD, couples therapy, love, responsibility, and the power of recovering not alone, but together.

In this episode of Let's Talk, I host Prof. Philip Held for a conversation about the growing role of artificial intelligence in psychotherapy. We begin in the therapy room, exploring how AI can serve as a supportive tool that expands what the therapist offers, provides continuity between sessions, and enables new forms of presence with clients. From there, we turn to training - looking at how AI-based tools can teach therapists core skills like Socratic dialogue, deliver immediate feedback, and help us become sharper, more attentive, and more confident in our practice.
