Intrusive thoughts are an unwanted part of every relationship but they do need to be addressed when they come up. Avoiding them will only allow them to linger and get worse, possibly to the point of acting on them. In this episode, Alex and Jon answer listener questions about the need for prenups, dealing with insecurities about your partners past, setting boundaries with your aging parents, the negative impact of trauma dumping on a friend, and when a husband’s intrusive thoughts may lead to a scary reality.
