Let's Talk About Love, Sex & Infidelity: Recent Episodes
Todd Creager
Todd Creager is a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with over 30+ years of experience helping couples. In this podcast, he examines common issues and how to overcome them that prevent people from having the love that they want in their life.
Your partner hasn't finished the sentence yet, and your stomach has already dropped. Your jaw is clenched. There's a tightness across your chest that wasn't there ten seconds ago. That isn't stress. That's a part of you speaking through your body before your thinking mind gets involved.
In this solo episode, licensed Marriage and Family Therapist Todd Creager explains why parts show up as physical sensation first, and why they move faster than you do. A protector can tighten your shoulders and cross your arms before you've consciously registered what your partner said. A firefighter can flood you with the urge to leave the room or reach for your phone before you've decided anything. An exile, the wounded part that got triggered, can drop a heaviness into your chest that makes you feel small and younger than you are, in a way that doesn't match the moment in front of you.
Todd describes what he sees in his office almost daily: two people reacting to each other's reactions. His protective parts guarding his wounded parts, hers guarding hers, the whole thing escalating in seconds. The body told the truth first. The body showed which part came online before either person opened their mouth.
He offers one practice you can use before your next hard conversation. Pause for thirty seconds. Notice where you feel something, whether that's tightness, heat, heaviness, or numbness. You don't have to understand it. Name it. "Something clenched in my chest." That small gap between a part activating and you seeing it is the difference between the part running the conversation and you being present for it.
Todd then walks through a session from the week before. A woman was anxious about an upcoming trip out of the country with her partner and his family, after a panic attack on a plane the year before during unresolved conflict. Tracing the sensations led to a much younger part of her, one shaped by people she counted on who abandoned her. Her boyfriend was able to see it as a young part rather than a statement about their relationship. She was able to give that part some care and recognize that nothing is wrong with her.
If this one landed, try the thirty-second pause this week and notice what your body says first. Follow the show for more conversations on love, sex, and staying connected in long-term relationships.

Your partner reaches for you, and something inside pulls back. Not all of you. A part of you.
In this solo episode, licensed Marriage and Family Therapist Todd Creager talks about the young part that decided long ago that if anyone got close enough to really see you, they wouldn't like what they found. He calls that part an exile — a child who absorbed a message like "I'm not worth attention" or "something is wrong with me," and has been carrying it ever since. The child didn't choose that belief. They lived in conditions where it was the only conclusion that made sense.
Todd describes the protective parts that form around an exile and why they are built to keep intimacy at a distance. One protector deflects every compliment before it lands. One keeps sex physical but never emotionally present. One picks a fight right when things are going well. Another becomes whatever the partner needs, pleasant and agreeable, so the real self never has to show up. None of these are character flaws. They are parts doing exactly the job they were given.
The way through isn't forcing yourself to be more open, Todd says, because the protectors won't allow it. It's turning toward the exile with Self — the part of you that isn't a part at all, the calm and connected essence you were born with — and letting that young part be seen without judgment first.
He closes with a client story from years back. A man whose mother projected onto him her hatred of his biological father, who grew up carrying the message that he was bad, acted it out as a juvenile delinquent, served time, and then sabotaged the marriage he wanted most. Todd walks through how they identified the protective parts, reached the shame underneath, and used EMDR (eye movement desensitization and reprocessing) with that wounded part. Once the man knew the belief wasn't his, the protectors could rest, and closeness finally had somewhere to land.
If any of this sounds familiar in your own marriage, listen with some gentleness toward yourself and your partner. Intimacy becomes possible when we look within and heal. Todd Creager, making the world safe for love.

What happens when trauma therapy stalls, even when you're doing everything right? In this solo episode, licensed Marriage and Family Therapist Todd Creager pulls back the curtain on how he works with clients, and why pairing two respected approaches, EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) and IFS (Internal Family Systems), helps people heal faster than either one alone.
Todd starts with the basics of IFS, the idea that we're all made up of different parts. Some of those parts are wounded, carrying old pain from feeling unsafe, inadequate, unlovable, or abandoned as a child. Other parts are protective, working overtime to make sure we never feel that pain again. He shares a relatable example of how someone who was abandoned might keep choosing partners who feel emotionally safe but not very stimulating, because a protective part refuses to risk abandonment again.
Then he explains where EMDR fits in. EMDR helps the brain reprocess a stuck traumatic memory so the past can stay in the past instead of hijacking your reactions in the present. It works beautifully on its own, Todd says, until it doesn't. Sometimes clients go blank, dissociate, or hit a wall. That's not failure. That's a protective part saying the system isn't ready yet.
This is where the combination matters. Todd describes how IFS builds the relationship first, helping you meet the protective part, understand what it's guarding, and earn its trust, so EMDR can then release what the wounded part, or exile, has been carrying. He walks through a real-world scenario from his practice with infidelity recovery, where a betrayed partner can't move past the discovery of the affair because a part of them believes letting go would mean letting their partner off the hook or treating themselves like the betrayal didn't matter.
You'll hear how befriending that protective part, rather than fighting it, opens the door to processing the deeper wound, whether it's the betrayal itself or earlier abandonment it stirred up. As Todd puts it, one approach builds the relationship, the other releases the burden, and together they can help parts that have carried the same wound for decades finally put it down.
If you've tried therapy and felt stuck, or you're working through trust after infidelity and wondering why the pain won't loosen its grip, this episode gives you a clear, compassionate picture of what healing can actually look like.
If this episode resonated with you, share it with someone who's carrying something heavy, and follow the show for more honest conversations about love, healing, and relationships. This is Todd Creager, making the world safe for love.

Why does your child's meltdown sometimes bring out a version of you that sounds exactly like your own parent?
Marriage and Family Therapist Todd Creager breaks down self-led parenting, a concept rooted in Internal Family Systems, and why so many parents end up reacting instead of responding when a child pushes their buttons. Todd separates the wounded, protective parts of us — the manager, who worries about looking good and getting it right, and the firefighter, who explodes or shuts down — from the calm, confident "self" that can actually hold a boundary without losing warmth.
He shares two stories to make the idea concrete. The first is personal: watching his three-year-old daughter get turned away by other kids on her first day of preschool, and realizing his own strong reaction as a parent had more to do with his own childhood than with what was actually happening to her. The second involves a client whose fear around her own childhood health struggles gets triggered every time her son won't listen about food, and how naming that pattern is helping her respond to him differently.
Todd's point isn't that parents need to be calm all the time or get it perfect. Self-led parenting means noticing when a part of you has taken over the moment, and coming back to yourself before you respond. That shift is what lets you set a limit without making your child feel small, and let them sit with a hard feeling without needing to fix it or shut it down right away.
If you've ever said something to your kid that you swore you'd never say — and heard your own parent's voice come out of your mouth — this episode gives you a way to understand what's actually happening in that moment, and a starting point for handling it differently next time.
Follow Todd Creager for more conversations on relationships, parenting, and healing the younger parts of ourselves, because raising kids well often starts with parenting the parts of us they trigger. Making the World Safe for Love.

Why does a small comment from your spouse sometimes set off a reaction that feels way bigger than the moment calls for? Todd Creager, a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with over 30 years of experience, breaks down what's actually happening when your partner triggers you.
In this solo episode, Todd explains that the size of your reaction is the clue. When your heart races, your jaw tightens, and you're three steps into an argument before you've decided to have it, it's rarely the grown-up version of you responding. Todd describes a protector — the part that goes on offense with anger, blame, or distance — and an exile, an older wound in you that once felt dismissed, controlled, criticized, or abandoned. He uses a familiar example: a partner forgetting something at the grocery store, and the anger that follows feeling out of proportion to what actually happened.
Todd offers a question you can ask yourself mid-fight: how old does this feeling actually feel? That question alone can change a conversation, because it helps you see you're not really fighting your spouse — you're reacting to a moment from long ago that just got pressed again. Todd is careful to note this isn't about excusing a partner's behavior, and it isn't about blaming yourself either. It's about recognizing which part of you is driving the reaction so you can respond instead of react.
If you've ever wondered why you overreact to your partner, or why the same argument keeps repeating with more heat than it deserves, this episode gives you a way to slow down and understand what's underneath it.
Listen to this episode to learn how recognizing your own triggers can change the way you and your partner talk to each other, and subscribe for more honest, practical guidance from Todd Creager on love, sex, and building the relationship you actually want.

When your partner shuts down in the middle of a hard conversation, it's easy to read it as punishment — as coldness, stubbornness, or not caring. What if that's almost never what's actually happening?
In this episode, Todd Creager — Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with 35 years of experience — takes a closer look at stonewalling, one of the patterns John and Julie Gottman identified as a serious warning sign in relationships. Todd offers a different way to understand it, one rooted in Internal Family Systems (IFS) and the way protective parts of us learned to manage emotional danger long before our current relationship existed.
He explains that stonewalling isn't cruelty. It's a manager — a protective part that decided somewhere along the way that silence was safer than speech. That part didn't develop in response to your spouse. It developed in response to what happened much earlier: a child who was dismissed when they spoke up, shamed when they were vulnerable, or simply never had anyone attuned enough to make expression feel safe.
Todd walks through real examples from his practice, including the client who remembers being met with anger as a child for expressing a normal feeling — and the client who has no clear memories of meanness, only an absence of attunement. In both cases, the outcome was the same: the body learned to go quiet.
The shift Todd describes — from "why are you doing this to me?" to "what does that part of you need so we can come back to each other?" — is where real repair begins. Not just of the current conflict, but of older wounds the relationship has quietly been carrying.
If you or your partner stonewalls, this episode gives you a new framework for understanding what's actually happening, and a starting point for approaching it with less blame and more curiosity.

What if the fight you keep having with your spouse isn't really about dishes, money, or who said what last Tuesday? What if the two of you aren't even fighting each other at all?
In this solo episode, Todd Creager — licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and relationship coach with over 30 years of experience working with couples — walks you through a framework he uses with couples every day: the three internal parts that show up in virtually every relationship conflict. Once you can see them, the whole fight starts to make sense.
Todd breaks down the Firefighter — the part that attacks, raises its voice, and catalogues every grievance from the last six months. It looks strong, but it's actually operating from fear. Then there's the Manager — the part that goes quiet, pulls back, or tries to smooth everything over. From the outside it looks calm, but inside it's just trying to survive the moment. Underneath both of those protective parts lives what Todd calls the wounded or exiled part — the younger, more vulnerable self that feels unseen, unimportant, unsafe, or like it doesn't belong.
Todd shares a real couple he's working with right now: a wife who grew up in a loud household where no one really listened, and a husband who was told as a child he should never have been born. Their fights look like her escalating and him withdrawing — but what's really happening is two wounded parts trying desperately to protect themselves. As Todd puts it, their protective parts are actually making things worse for each other, even when that's the last thing either of them wants.
The shift happens when couples stop seeing each other as enemies and start recognizing the parts driving the conflict. That awareness — paired with compassion for your own internal experience — is what makes real repair possible.
If you and your partner keep getting stuck in the same cycles, this episode gives you a clear, honest way to look at what's actually going on beneath the surface.
Todd works with couples navigating communication breakdowns, intimacy issues, infidelity recovery, and long-standing patterns that feel impossible to move through. If you're ready to work with him directly, visit toddcreager.com to learn more about his couples therapy and coaching services.

What if the thing you've been doing to fix your relationship is actually what's keeping it stuck?
Most couples hit a wall. You've read the books, planned the date nights, promised to listen better — and somehow you're still in the same spot. More exhausted, more frustrated, and further apart than before. If that sounds familiar, this episode is for you.
In this solo episode, Todd Creager — licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with over 30 years working with couples — explains why trying harder rarely works, and what's actually happening beneath the surface when your best efforts fall flat.
Todd introduces a way of thinking that goes deeper than most couples therapy advice: the idea that we're made up of different parts — and that the real reason relationships stall isn't lack of effort. It's that one part of you is trying to fix things while another part — a wounded, scared, or quietly resentful part — isn't on board. No amount of willpower gets through to that part.
He walks through a real couple he's currently working with: a woman who never felt seen as a child and erupts when her husband gets defensive, and a husband who grew up with an aggressive father and shuts down the moment conflict starts. Neither is the villain. Both are being driven by protective parts that took shape long before they ever met.
What they're learning — and what Todd wants you to take away — is the difference between a protective relationship and a self-led relationship. A self-led relationship doesn't come from trying harder. It comes from getting curious about the parts of you that keep showing up in the same painful patterns, and learning to lead from a place of clarity, compassion, and genuine connection.
This episode won't hand you a quick fix. It will give you a different way of seeing yourself, your partner, and the cycle you keep getting stuck in — and that shift is where real change in a relationship actually begins.
If you're in a long-term relationship and feel like you've tried everything, start here.

What if the thing getting in the way of your sex life isn't a physical problem — it's a protective one?
In this solo episode, licensed Marriage and Family Therapist Todd Creager takes a candid, grounded look at what happens when your inner critic shows up in the bedroom. Whether it sounds like Am I good enough? Is my partner enjoying this? or it shows up as numbness, avoidance, or a total loss of desire — Todd explains that these aren't failures. They're protective responses doing a job.
Using Internal Family Systems (IFS), Todd breaks down two types of protective parts that commonly interfere with sexual intimacy. The manager is the critical voice constantly scanning for what could go wrong, trying to protect you from shame, inadequacy, or humiliation. The firefighter is the part that numbs out, dissociates, or finds every possible reason to avoid sex altogether — because if you never show up, you never have to feel exposed.
Both are trying to shield you from older wounds: the fear of not being good enough, the memory of embarrassment, or the quiet belief that you're somehow less than. And because desire and the inner critic can't occupy the same space at the same time, understanding what's running interference is the real starting point for change.
Todd also introduces EMDR — Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing — as a therapeutic tool that can help people access and process the older memories keeping these protective parts on high alert. When those memories are worked through, the protective parts don't have to work as hard, and your natural desire and arousal have room to return — not through willpower, but through healing.
If you've been struggling with performance anxiety, sexual avoidance, or feeling disconnected from your partner in the bedroom, this episode offers a way to approach it with curiosity rather than judgment.

Is jealousy making you feel out of control — or controlling? Before you try to talk yourself out of it, it's worth understanding what it's actually doing for you.
In this solo episode, licensed Marriage and Family Therapist Todd Creager takes an honest, compassionate look at jealousy — not as a character flaw or a red flag, but as a protective response rooted in older, unhealed pain. If your partner mentions a coworker and your chest tightens, or a liked photo on social media sends your mind into overdrive, this episode speaks directly to what's happening beneath that reaction.
Drawing on Internal Family Systems (IFS) — a framework that recognizes we all carry different "parts" of ourselves — Todd explains that jealousy is rarely about the present moment. It's a protective part standing guard over a much older wound: the early learning that love can be taken away, that you can be made to feel unimportant, invisible, or replaced.
Todd walks through two specific types of protective responses that show up when jealousy hits. The first is the manager — the part that watches, checks, scans for threats, reads texts over your partner's shoulder, and keeps a quiet inventory of who they spend time with. The second is the firefighter — the part that reacts, explodes, accuses, or shuts down just to stop an unbearable feeling. Both are trying to prevent pain, even when the behaviors are causing damage.
The shift Todd offers isn't about pushing jealousy away. It's about bringing curiosity and compassion toward the part of you that's scared — so you can stop reacting from fear and start communicating from your whole, settled self. When you understand that jealousy's intent is always protective, you gain options you didn't have before. You stop being run by your past and create real space for a different kind of relationship.
Whether you're the one struggling with jealousy or you're on the receiving end of a partner's reactions, this episode gives you a way to see it differently — and work with it rather than against it.

Do you go blank, get quiet, or feel like you've completely left your body the moment conflict shows up in your relationship? There's a reason that happens — and it has nothing to do with not caring.
In this solo episode, Todd digs into one of the most misunderstood patterns in long-term relationships: shutting down during conflict. Whether you go still and silent or reach for your phone, the fridge, or anything else to escape the moment, Todd explains what's actually driving that response — and why blaming yourself or your partner for it keeps you stuck.
Drawing from his 30+ years working with couples, Todd breaks down how our earliest experiences with conflict — loud households, being shamed for speaking up, or learning that staying quiet was simply safer — wire a protective part of us that can still show up decades later, even when our partner isn't actually a threat.
Todd introduces two key protective patterns from Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy: the manager, who tries to smooth things over and avoid making things worse, and the firefighter, who numbs you out or pulls you into distraction the second things get too intense. Both are doing the same job — shielding a younger, wounded part of you that once learned that conflict meant something bad was about to happen.
The good news? Once you can recognize these protective parts with curiosity instead of frustration, you can start showing up in conflict as yourself — calm, present, and actually able to stay in the room.
Todd shares a real client story that illustrates how deep this goes, and walks you through what it looks and feels like to begin separating yourself from the part that hijacks you — so you can respond from a place of clarity instead of running on autopilot.
If you've ever wondered why you or your partner shuts down, this episode gives you a grounded, honest look at what's happening beneath the surface — and what you can start doing differently.
Listen in and take that first step toward showing up more fully in your relationship.

What does cheating actually do to the person doing it?
Most conversations about infidelity focus on the betrayed partner — and for good reason. But in this episode, Todd Creager turns the lens inward, looking at what happens inside the body and mind of the person having the affair. It's part of his ongoing series on how cheating cheats the cheater, and this episode zeroes in on something rarely talked about: the physiological cost of living a secret.
Using the lens of Internal Family Systems (IFS), Todd walks through how our protective parts operate when deep wounds go unaddressed. The "firefighter" part acts out — in this case, through an affair — as a way to escape pain. The guilt and self-attack that follow? That's the "manager" part doing its job. The result is an internal system at war with itself. The body pays the price.
What does that look like in practice? A stress cycle that doesn't stop. The adrenaline of secrecy. The cortisol of shame. For most people — not sociopaths, as Todd plainly notes — this creates a chronic internal conflict that quietly drains physical and emotional wellbeing. Infidelity recovery starts with recognizing that the affair was never really about the other person. It was a response to pain that never got the attention it needed.
The path out, Todd explains, isn't more self-punishment. It's actually getting honest — with yourself, with a professional, and eventually with your partner if reconciliation is part of the picture. When the wound beneath the behavior gets real attention, real healing becomes possible. Todd has seen it happen, over and over, in his 30+ years working with couples.
This episode is for anyone who has been on either side of betrayal, or who suspects there's more going on beneath the surface of the choices they've been making.
If you're ready to stop the internal war and work toward actual peace — in your body, your relationship, and yourself — Todd's work is a good place to start. Reach out at toddcreager.com.

Have you ever wondered why someone who's having an affair can still feel profoundly alone?
In this episode, Todd Creager continues his series on how cheating cheats the cheater — and this time he looks at one of the deepest costs of infidelity: the loss of authentic intimacy. Using the Internal Family Systems (IFS) framework, Todd explains why keeping a secret doesn't just strain a relationship. It cuts the person having the affair off from the one thing that actually heals loneliness — being truly known.
At the heart of IFS is a simple but important idea: we are all made of parts. Some of those parts carry old wounds — messages like "I'm not good enough" or "I'm not safe" — picked up through childhood, family dynamics, and life experience. Protective parts form around those wounds to keep us functioning. But when someone operates from a secret, hidden part — the part running the affair — they can no longer show up as their whole self. And without that, there's no real intimacy. The affair partner may feel connected to them, but they're only connecting with a fragment. Not the full person.
Todd draws on his book The Long Hot Marriage, published in 2008, to talk about the qualities of genuine connection — many of which align closely with what IFS calls the Eight C's of the Self: curiosity, compassion, clarity, and the rest. These aren't abstract concepts. They're what becomes possible when someone stops hiding and starts doing the real work of looking inward.
He also touches on something that gets overlooked in conversations about infidelity — the role society plays. Marriage and committed relationships have, in many ways, conditioned people to hide the parts of themselves that feel messy, broken, or less than perfect. That cultural pressure makes authentic intimacy harder for everyone, not just those who have cheated.
The good news? That capacity to connect — truly and fully — is already inside you. It doesn't have to stay buried.
If you're ready to stop living from a protected place and start building the kind of relationship where you actually feel seen, Todd's approach gives you a real path forward. Learn more at toddcreager.com.

What if the person most harmed by an affair isn't the one who was betrayed — but the one who did the betraying?
In this solo episode, licensed Marriage and Family Therapist Todd Creager returns to one of his most talked-about topics: the psychological cost of infidelity to the person who cheats. Drawing on over 30 years of working with couples, and through the lens of Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy, Todd breaks down why cheating is so often less about desire and more about escape — and what that escape actually costs.
At the center of this conversation is the IFS concept of "self-leadership." Todd explains that each of us has a core Self — sometimes called your higher self or best self — that is naturally compassionate, calm, curious, and clear. This is the part of you that, when in the driver's seat, gives you the capacity to show up fully in your life and your relationship.
When someone cheats, Todd argues, they've effectively handed those keys to what IFS calls a "firefighter" — a protective part of the psyche that distracts from pain, boredom, emptiness, or a wound that hasn't been addressed. The affair feels like relief in the moment. But it pulls the person further from the self they actually want to be. Add in the lying, the managing appearances, the fear of being found out, and suddenly two more parts — the manager and the firefighter — are running the show while the real self sits in the back seat.
Todd is careful here not to reduce any of this to moral judgment. He's seen too many cases where someone cheated after a job loss, a blow to self-esteem, or a long history of feeling alone — and the affair was a desperate reach for something that felt like connection. That doesn't make it okay, but it does make it understandable. And understanding it is what makes healing possible.
Whether the relationship survives or not, Todd makes the case that doing this inner work still matters. The protective parts that drove the affair — the firefighter, the manager — will keep running the show in future relationships unless the underlying wounds get addressed. Therapy isn't just about saving the marriage. It's about getting back in the driver's seat of your own life.

What happens between you and your partner in bed may have less to do with technique and more to do with how you're wired for connection.
In this solo episode, Todd Creager — licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with over 30 years of experience working with couples — breaks down the four attachment styles and what they look like during sex and physical intimacy. Most people have heard of the four attachment categories: secure, anxious (fearful), avoidant, and fearful-avoidant. But Todd draws an important distinction that changes how you think about all of it: you're not just one type. Different parts of you carry different attachment patterns, and whichever part gets triggered in the bedroom is the one that shows up.
When the secure part of you is present, you can give and receive fully — physically and emotionally — while still holding onto your own sense of self. There's an ease and openness in that dynamic that most couples are working toward.
When the fearful or anxious part takes over, you may find yourself becoming a pleaser. Your own desires go quiet. You focus on keeping your partner close, avoiding judgment, and making sure they don't pull away. The connection you're working so hard to protect becomes harder to actually feel.
The avoidant part shows up differently — more closed off, less tuned into what your partner is experiencing, and focused primarily on personal release rather than mutual intimacy. Vulnerability in the bedroom feels like too much exposure.
For those who carry fearful-avoidant patterns, both tendencies can surface — sometimes within the same encounter. Swinging from intense people-pleasing to sudden withdrawal, that kind of unpredictability can leave a partner feeling confused about who they're actually with.
Todd's message throughout is clear: this is not about labeling yourself or your partner. It's about recognizing the patterns that are already running so you can start working with them rather than around them.
Whether you're dealing with emotional distance, uneven intimacy, or a quiet sense that something is off in the bedroom, this episode gives you a clearer picture of what may be driving it.
Todd reads every comment — share your reaction and let him know what came up for you.

What if the part of you that shuts down sexually — or the part that keeps reaching for porn — isn't a character flaw? What if it's trying to protect you?
In this solo episode, licensed Marriage and Family Therapist Todd Creager explains why forcing your way through sexual performance anxiety — or trying to stop compulsive sexual behavior through sheer willpower — almost always backfires. Drawing from two therapeutic approaches he uses in his practice, Internal Family Systems (IFS) and EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), Todd walks through what's actually happening beneath the surface when sex becomes complicated.
At the center of this episode is a reframe most people have never heard: the parts of us that create sexual problems are not broken. They're protective. Todd breaks down two types of protective parts from the IFS model. "Managers" are the parts that preemptively shut things down — lowering libido, interfering with arousal, erection, ejaculation, or orgasm — to keep us from feeling shame or inadequacy. "Firefighters" are the parts that kick in when emotional pain gets too close, often using porn, affairs, or compulsive behavior to numb out or escape the fear of being truly seen.
Todd shares an example from his own caseload: a client who began having an affair after significant failures at work. The affair wasn't about attraction — it was a firefighter response to the pain of feeling like a failure.
Getting out of these patterns isn't about more effort or stricter rules. It starts with getting curious about those parts rather than fighting them. When you can approach your protective parts with compassion — understanding what they're guarding against — you create the conditions for what Todd calls self-led sexuality. That's when the grounded, confident part of you leads the experience rather than the scared or shamed parts.
This isn't a quick fix. But it is a way to heal from the inside out — one Todd applies regularly in his work with both individuals and couples.
If you're dealing with sexual performance anxiety, low sexual desire, compulsive sexual behavior, or intimacy avoidance in your relationship, this episode gives you a new frame for what's actually going on — and why treating it as a willpower problem keeps you stuck.

If you've discovered a partner's affair and wondered why the pain feels like it might actually kill you, you're not overreacting. In this episode, Todd explains exactly why betrayal trauma hits so deep — and what healing actually looks like.
When an affair comes to light, the shock is real and the cause is clear. But what makes it feel so all-consuming is that it often wakes up something much older — the wounded parts of you that have been quietly buried since childhood. Feelings of not being good enough. Of being abandoned. Of not being safe. The present pain and the past pain collide, and suddenly you're not just dealing with what your partner did. You're dealing with a lifetime of unresolved wounds all at once.
Todd walks through how he uses two therapeutic approaches together — Internal Family Systems (IFS) and EMDR — to help betrayed partners understand and heal what's really happening inside them. IFS helps you identify the different parts of yourself that get activated after betrayal: the protective managers who keep you functional, the firefighters who help you escape the pain, and the exiles — the wounded parts that carry the old memories and beliefs. EMDR then helps your brain actually process those stuck memories so that the past stops flooding into the present.
The goal isn't to rush into trusting a partner who hasn't yet earned that trust back. The goal is to help you — the betrayed person — get clear. To get out from under the weight of old wounds so your own intuition, your true self, can tell you what's actually happening in your relationship right now and what you want to do about it.
Todd also talks about what a healed relationship can look like when both partners do this work — what he calls a self-led marriage, where each person is guided by their healthiest self rather than their most reactive parts.
If you're in the aftermath of infidelity and wondering whether healing is really possible, this episode gives you an honest look at how the work actually happens — and why it works.

Do you and your partner keep circling the same argument, no matter how many times you've tried to resolve it? The problem might not be what either of you is saying — it might be who is actually doing the talking.
In this solo episode, licensed Marriage and Family Therapist Todd Creager introduces a concept from Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy that helps explain why so many couples get stuck in what he calls the "bickering loop." According to IFS, we all carry protective parts — internal responses shaped by our past wounds — and when those protectors take over during conflict, the real person in the relationship goes quiet.
Todd walks through two real-world examples from his practice. In the first, a wife who learned to fight for visibility raises her voice and criticizes to avoid feeling devalued — just as she did growing up. Her husband, raised with a mother who was out of control, learned early on to shut down and disappear into distractions. When she pushes, he withdraws. When he withdraws, she pushes harder. Neither is wrong; both are operating from protective parts that hijacked the conversation long before either of them opened their mouth.
In the second example, Todd describes a couple where a husband's drinking — a firefighter response in IFS terms — allowed him to escape difficult feelings, while his wife's manager part kept her passive and accommodating. That pattern held until it couldn't anymore.
The shift Todd teaches is a simple but powerful one: instead of speaking as a part, learn to speak from a part. That means pausing, recognizing which protective response has been triggered, and then communicating from your grounded, adult self. Something like: "There's a part of me that feels lonely when you pull away" lands very differently than "You never care about me."
This is the pause-and-pivot approach — and Todd has seen it stop the bickering cycle for good in couples who were convinced they'd run out of road.
He also briefly explains the difference between IFS managers (parts that try to prevent wounds from surfacing) and firefighters (parts that react fast when pain is already flooding the system) — both of which show up in most long-term relationship conflicts.

After discovering a partner's affair, many people ask the same question: Am I going crazy?
You love this person deeply — and part of you wants to walk out the door. That contradiction isn't a sign something is wrong with you. It's what happens when betrayal creates an internal war between competing parts of who you are.
In this solo episode, Todd Creager breaks down what he calls the Civil War of Betrayal — and why both the person who was cheated on and the person who cheated experience this painful internal conflict.
Using the framework of Internal Family Systems (IFS), Todd explains the three distinct inner parts that get activated in the aftermath of infidelity: the managers (the part obsessively checking phones, gathering evidence, trying to stay in control), the firefighters (the part that acts out in anger, revenge, or impulsive decisions to escape the pain), and the exiles (the deep wound underneath it all — often tied to old feelings of abandonment that this betrayal has brought back to the surface).
Todd also introduces what IFS calls the Self — that part of you that holds the capacity for compassion, clarity, curiosity, and calm. When the Self leads, something different becomes possible: instead of reacting from your most wounded or most angry place, you get curious. You start to ask what part of me is doing this right now? And that question changes everything.
Drawing from a real couple he worked with — he calls them John and Lucy — Todd walks through how IFS combined with EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) helped them move from blame and reactivity to genuine understanding. Their relationship didn't go back to what it was before. In some ways, it became deeper than it had ever been.
If you or your partner are somewhere in the middle of this — loving each other and hurting each other at the same time — this episode gives you a language for what's actually happening inside. And a starting point for something better.

What draws someone back to a relationship they know is hurting them — and what does it take to finally walk away?
In this episode, Todd sits down with author and spiritual counselor Stephen Paul Edwards, whose memoir The Venus Fly Trap chronicles one of the most intense, chaotic, and revealing relationships of his life. Named by the woman at the center of it all, the title says everything — and nothing you're quite prepared for.
Stephen shares openly about falling hard for a woman he recognized early on as dangerous, and staying anyway. What follows is a candid, often funny conversation about gaslighting, borderline personality disorder (BPD), childhood trauma, and the complicated reality that toxic relationships are rarely all bad.
Todd and Stephen dig into why smart, self-aware people end up in relationships that slowly erode their sense of reality, what BPD actually looks like to live alongside, and why the partner on the receiving end often blames themselves.
They also explore the current sexual revolution — shifting attitudes around monogamy, sexuality, and identity — and whether polyamory or monogamy can both be done well or badly depending on the people involved.
At the heart of it all is the work Todd talks about with clients regularly: facing the parts of ourselves we've spent a lifetime hiding. Stephen's memoir forced him to stop running and look inward — the same work that often marks the difference between a relationship that survives and one that doesn't.
If you've ever stayed past the point you should have, this one will feel familiar.

What if the "insecurity" you've been working so hard to reassure isn't insecurity at all?
In this solo episode, Todd Creager—a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with over 30 years of experience—walks you through one of the most confusing dynamics he sees in his practice: when what looks like a partner's fear and need for reassurance is actually a pattern of manipulation and control.
Todd explains the key differences between genuine insecurity and deliberate manipulation. Someone who is truly insecure may need reassurance, but they'll also take responsibility for their actions, apologize sincerely, and work to respect your boundaries over time. A person who is manipulating, on the other hand, keeps moving the goalpost—what satisfied them yesterday becomes a problem today. They rarely apologize, and when you bring up your own pain, the conversation gets turned back around onto you.
This episode covers several warning signs to watch for: when your sense of reality gets questioned until you start doubting your own memory; when jealousy turns into isolation from friends and family under the guise of "protecting" you; and when the silent treatment becomes a tool for punishment rather than a sign of hurt feelings. Todd draws a clear line between fear-based insecurity and power-based manipulation—one comes from a place of wanting connection, the other from wanting control.
If you've been weathered down over time and feel like you've lost your sense of self, this episode offers clarity. Todd shares how he helps clients begin to trust their own perception again by asking simple questions: What do I think? What do I feel? What would I believe if my partner wasn't telling me otherwise?
Whether you recognize these patterns in your own relationship or in someone you care about, this conversation can be a starting point for understanding what's really happening—and what you can do next.
If this resonates with you, consider reaching out. Todd works with individuals and couples navigating these complex dynamics and is here to help you find your footing again.

You know they lied. You've seen the evidence. So why can't you just move on?
In this episode, Todd addresses one of the most painful experiences in relationships: loving someone who has betrayed your trust through infidelity or other serious lies. Drawing from real cases in his practice, he explains the psychological phenomenon of cognitive dissonance—when your reality of love and commitment conflicts with the truth you're now facing.
Todd walks through three core tensions that keep you stuck: the love you felt versus the reality you're confronting, your emotional attachment versus the evidence of betrayal, and your hope for change versus the fear of abandoning yourself. He explains why it's completely normal to feel confused, even when the facts are clear.
This isn't about quick fixes. Todd acknowledges that some partners do change and relationships can heal, but he's equally honest about the work required and the time it takes to know if real change is happening. You'll hear practical guidance on how to be kind to yourself during this process, how to recognize genuine transformation in your partner (not just crisis management), and how to hold space for hope without losing yourself.
If you're questioning why you can't let go, or if you feel stuck between wanting to trust again and protecting yourself, this episode offers perspective and validation. Todd's 30 years of clinical experience helps you understand what's happening inside you—so you can make clearer decisions about what comes next.
This is honest talk about the messy middle of relationship recovery, where everything feels contradictory and nothing feels simple.

Have you ever felt like something's off in your relationship, but your partner keeps telling you you're the problem? That knot in your stomach, that nagging sense that things aren't right—what if it's not your imagination?
In this episode, Todd addresses gaslighting—a pattern where one partner makes the other doubt their own reality. Sometimes it's calculated, sometimes it's unconscious self-protection, but the result is the same: you stop trusting yourself. You walk through your own home like you're stepping through a minefield, wondering what will set things off next.
Todd has worked with countless men and women who lived this way for years. They'd cover for their partner, make excuses to family and friends, anything to keep the peace. And when they finally stepped away—or when the relationship healed through honest work—they'd say, "My God, it was never me. It felt like me when I was with them, but it never was."
Todd shares a story from his own practice: a man who walked into his first session hurling insults, trying to intimidate. His wife had been living in that storm for years, second-guessing herself constantly. Through their work together, Todd helped the wife reconnect with her own instincts while helping the husband face the pain underneath his behavior—childhood abuse from a critical father that he'd never addressed. Years later, Todd ran into the wife. She told him her husband had become "a teddy bear." The relationship survived because both partners did the hard work.
Here's what Todd wants you to know: If you feel invisible, if you're constantly told you're overreacting, if you've learned to shrink yourself to avoid conflict—that's not you being difficult. That's your gut telling you something real. The first step is finding someone you can trust, whether that's a friend, family member, or a therapist, to help you see clearly again.
Your gut isn't wrong. And you can get free from this, whether that means leaving or—in some cases—rebuilding the relationship on healthier ground.

Have you noticed your partner acting differently but they tell you you're imagining things? You might be dealing with something more than just infidelity.
In this episode, Todd talks about what happens when someone who's cheated uses gaslighting to avoid taking responsibility. He walks through the specific tactics unfaithful partners use—from denying obvious behavior changes to minimizing what actually happened.
Todd explains how gaslighting works as a protective mechanism for the person who betrayed. They might tell you you're overreacting when you notice they're staying late at work. They might change their phone password and then say "Why don't you trust me?" They might even suggest you need therapy for being suspicious. The person who betrayed often uses these tactics because they don't want to face their own shame or lose their family.
From his three decades working with couples, Todd describes the "drip method"—where someone admits to one thing but leaves out critical details. You find out about a one-night stand, then discover months of text messages that led up to it. The person who betrayed rewrites events to make themselves look better, sometimes even claiming they were the victim of someone else's aggression.
If you're constantly questioning yourself or thinking "what's wrong with me?" around your partner, you may be experiencing gaslighting. Todd covers the most common gaslighting strategies: denying the obvious, reversing blame, rewriting what happened, and using anger to shut down your questions. These tactics can make the betrayed partner feel unstable and disoriented—even before they know about the infidelity.
This episode is for anyone who's noticed changes in their relationship and gotten defensive responses when they bring it up. Todd's approach is straightforward: name what's happening, step out of self-blame, and recognize these patterns for what they are.
Listen if you're trying to make sense of confusing responses from your partner or want to understand the connection between cheating and manipulation.

What happens when you shut down during a fight with your partner—when your chest tightens, your voice vanishes, and you feel small like a scolded child?
Todd explains why some people collapse during conflict while others lash out. It's not about caring less—it's about caring so much that your nervous system shuts down from shame. When shame takes over, you disappear emotionally. Your partner might see it as indifference, but the truth is you're stuck in an emotional freeze response.
In this episode, Todd shares the story of Cheryl and Jerry, a couple caught in a painful pattern. Every time Jerry expressed frustration or disappointment, Cheryl would collapse into shame. She felt like a bad child, unable to access her adult self. One client described it perfectly: "Every time we argue, I feel like a six-year-old who just wants to hide in my room."
The turning point came when Cheryl learned to recognize the moment shame kicked in. Instead of spiraling, she placed her hand on her heart and whispered, "You're safe now." She grounded herself with her breath, felt her feet on the floor, and imagined her adult self stepping forward. Then—still quiet, still tender—she sat beside Jerry. He later told her, "That was the first time I felt like you stayed, like you didn't disappear into shame."
Here's what Todd wants you to know: Shame tells you to apologize your way back to connection. It doesn't work. Real repair doesn't come from self-erasure or over-explaining. It comes from presence. Your partner doesn't want a shame-ridden version of you. They want you whole, grounded, and available.
If you notice yourself slipping into shame, try this: Name it ("This is shame, it's not the truth"), notice how it feels in your body, then regulate through breathing and grounding. Finally, reconnect—sit close, breathe with your partner, and let your presence speak.

What happens when the person you love most goes quiet—not yelling, not fighting, just... gone?
In this episode, Todd Creager addresses one of the most painful patterns in relationships: silent punishment. It's not always intentional. You've been hurt, so you pull back. You turn away. You go cold. It feels like self-protection, but to your partner, it feels like rejection.
Todd shares the story of Ken and Terry, a couple stuck in a cycle where defensiveness led to withdrawal, and withdrawal led to loneliness. Terry stopped trying because Ken kept dismissing her feelings. Ken felt alone because Terry stopped reaching out. Both were protecting themselves—and both were suffering.
The turning point? Terry did something small but significant. Instead of leaving the room during their next argument, she stayed. She sat on the couch with her back turned, still struggling, but physically present. That one act of silent presence—not silent treatment—opened the door for their first honest, soft moment in months.
Todd explains why conflict doesn't always need to be solved through talking. Sometimes connection starts in the body. The silent cold shoulder feels like control. Silent presence feels like repair. When you stay in the room—not to punish, but to witness—you're telling your partner: I'm still here. I'm still open.
This episode offers practical guidance on recognizing when you're withdrawing as punishment versus self-protection, and how to use non-verbal communication to repair your relationship. Todd walks you through what it looks like to let your body say "I'm still here" when your words can't.

What happens when you freeze up during a difficult conversation with your partner—when your mind goes blank, your voice disappears, and you can't find the words? Todd explains why shutting down isn't a weakness. It's your nervous system trying to protect you from emotional overwhelm.
In this episode, Todd breaks down the freeze response and why it happens. When your body shuts down, your partner might interpret it as disinterest or rejection. But that's not what's really going on. You're not choosing to withdraw—your nervous system is trying to help you survive an emotional flood. Todd shares the story of Martine and Larry, a couple who struggled with this pattern for years. When Larry would get expressive about his frustrations, Martine would completely shut down. The more desperate Larry became to connect, the deeper Martine would retreat.
Then Todd taught Martine something different. Instead of disappearing completely, she learned to stay present in her body through simple grounding techniques: pressing her feet into the floor, holding a warm cup of tea, placing her hand on her heart, and maintaining eye contact with Larry. She didn't say a word, but Larry felt her presence for the first time. That shift changed everything.
Todd reminds us that healing doesn't always come through talking. When your nervous system is frozen, words won't come—and that's okay. What you need is more safety. Safety in your body, safety in the relationship, and safety to feel without having to fix anything. When you can stay in the room energetically, you begin to rewire that freeze response and reclaim your sense of choice.
If you or your partner shuts down during conflict, this episode offers practical tools you can use right away. You don't have to perform connection—you just have to allow it.

Does every conversation with your partner turn into a back-and-forth where nobody feels heard? You're not alone—and you're probably not doing anything wrong. You just care deeply about being understood.
In this episode, Todd breaks down why defensiveness shows up in relationships and what it's actually doing to your connection. When you defend yourself, even with good intentions, your partner doesn't hear clarification—they hear rejection. The result? More intensity, more frustration, and zero resolution.
Todd shares the real story of Rob and Jody, a couple stuck in a cycle of miscommunication. Every time one spoke, the other immediately explained their side. They weren't trying to fight—they were trying to be heard. But instead of playing catch, they were both throwing tennis balls in the air with nobody catching anything.
Here's what shifted everything: Rob stopped defending himself mid-conflict. Instead of talking, he paused, took a breath, and reached out his hand. No words. No explanation. Just presence. Jody softened immediately and opened up more than she ever had before.
That moment changed their relationship because they learned something most couples miss: your partner doesn't need your defense. They need your presence.
If you've been stuck in defend-and-repeat mode, Todd walks you through exactly what to do next time the urge hits. Pause. Soften your body. Reach out in a nonverbal way. When you make connection more important than being right in that moment, the entire dynamic can shift.

In this episode, relationship expert Todd Creager shares the real story of Sam and Barbara—a couple who came to him with "communication problems." But what they actually had was something deeper: a years-long Cold War fueled by the need to be right.
After four decades of working with couples, I can tell you this pattern shows up everywhere. Smart, successful people who've built their lives on being right suddenly find that same skill destroying their most important relationship.
Here's what we talk about:
- Why the need to be right functions like an addiction
- The "Be Like Me" trap that keeps couples stuck in conflict
- How different personality types create complementary values (not obstacles)
- The shift from "I need you to agree with me" to "I want you to feel understood by me"
- Building emotional muscle to handle disagreements with grace
- What it actually looks like when couples choose connection over correctness
This isn't about learning to agree more with your partner. It's about something more powerful: developing the strength to prioritize understanding over validation.
If you and your partner keep circling the same arguments, if you're exhausted from explaining yourself, or if you just want to feel truly heard—this episode is for you.

Here's a podcast episode description optimized for podcast platforms and Todd's brand voice:
Episode Title: How to Stop Bickering: The Real Problem Isn't Communication
Short Description (for podcast apps that limit characters): Constant bickering isn't a communication problem—it's a nervous system problem. After 20+ years working with couples, I share why "just communicate better" is terrible advice and what actually breaks the cycle.
Full Description:
You know that moment when you realize you've had the same argument for the third time this week? Not even about anything important—just that familiar dance where one person brings something up, the other gets defensive, and within minutes you're both exhausted and further apart than when you started.
Here's what nobody tells you: more talking won't fix it. Better communication techniques won't fix it. Because when you're already in reactive mode, your brain literally can't access the parts responsible for empathy and perspective-taking.
In this episode, I share the story of Rick and Diane—a couple married 25 years who came to me stuck in what I call the "bicker-escalate-disconnect" loop. They didn't save their marriage by learning to communicate better. They saved it by learning to slow down their nervous systems first.
In this episode:
- Why your brain can't process your partner's perspective when you're defensive (it's neurological, not a character flaw)
- The speed problem that keeps couples stuck in the same arguments
- What's actually happening underneath the bickering (spoiler: it's not about the dishes)
- Why disconnection feels easier—and why that's the biggest trap
- The one skill that actually breaks the cycle (and it's not what you think)
- How Rick and Diane reconnected without needing to talk more, solve more, or explain more
If you're exhausted from the same fights and wondering if there's a way out, this episode will show you where to actually start. Hint: it's not with better words—it's with a calmer nervous system.

In this revealing episode, relationship expert Todd Creager tackles the profound identity crisis that occurs when infidelity is discovered. If you've betrayed your partner, you're not just facing relationship damage—you're confronting fundamental questions about who you are.
Todd guides listeners through five essential questions for identity rebuilding: Who am I now that I've betrayed my values? Can I become trustworthy again? Is change possible? What does recovery look like for serial betrayers? And do I need professional help?
Drawing from decades of clinical experience, Todd offers a compassionate yet honest roadmap for those looking to rebuild after betrayal. He explains how recovery isn't just about stopping behaviors, but about becoming curious about all parts of yourself and finding new ways to meet your needs without secrets or betrayal.
Whether you've betrayed once or multiple times, this episode provides practical insights for moving from compartmentalization toward wholeness, from shame toward integration, and from secrecy toward authentic connection.

If you've been unfaithful to your partner, you're probably drowning in one question: "Why did I do this?" And if you're the betrayed partner, you desperately need to understand: "How could they do this to me?"
In this episode, I'm talking directly to people who've cheated—though I want betrayed partners to listen too. Because understanding what drives infidelity isn't about excuses. It's about getting to the truth of what's really happening beneath the surface.
After decades of working with people on both sides of betrayal, I've learned something that might surprise you: The person who cheats isn't broken or fundamentally bad. But they are deeply disconnected—from themselves, from their partner, and from the values they thought they held.
I'm breaking down five critical questions every person who's been unfaithful needs to answer:
1. Why did I do this, especially more than once? I explain how infidelity often begins in childhood (yes, really) and how we learn to regulate emotional energy in ways that eventually sabotage our relationships. You'll hear about the "never enough" part—that wounded younger self that operates separately from your conscious values.
2. Am I broken, addicted, or just selfish? Let's get real about these labels. I walk through what each one actually means and why the real issue is disconnection, not moral failure.
3. Was I trying to escape something in myself or the relationship? The honest answer is usually yes. I talk about how people use infidelity to escape pain—whether it's inadequacy in other life areas or the discomfort of being fully present in a relationship.
4. How do I stop this pattern? This is where we get into the real work. I share why trying to bury the part of you that cheated makes things worse, not better. You'll learn about the two-step process: awareness of your parts and processing the underlying pain through approaches like EMDR trauma treatment.
5. Do I even deserve to be forgiven? I separate this into two questions: Can your partner forgive you, and can you forgive yourself? The answers are different, and both require you to do the work first.
What Makes This Episode Different:
I'm not here to shame anyone or offer simple answers. Infidelity is complex. The reasons people cheat are rooted in unprocessed emotional wounds, learned patterns of self-regulation, and disconnection from pa

In today's episode, I'm diving deep into one of the most important questions I get: when there's been a discovery of infidelity, when do we need therapy? What kind of therapy? What makes sense?
I'll be blunt with you - I think you always need therapy after infidelity. Here's why: it's so painful that emotions completely take over. Friends or family may not always be the right people to go to during these times because they have their own feelings. When you're in that stress mode, in that survival mode, you really can't see what's really going on underneath it all.
In this episode, you'll discover:
- Why we need to understand what's going on inside - that's where the real issues are
- The truth about people who cheat (spoiler: they're not bad people, but they are hurt people)
- Why someone might not know how to communicate their problems in a relationship
- What the betrayed partner really needs from therapy
- The kind of therapist you should look for (and the question most people never think to ask)
- Why therapy needs to work on both past wounds AND present skills
- What real success looks like in infidelity recovery
I share insights from my "Healing Infidelity From the Inside Out" approach and explain why it's not as simple as "people that cheat are bad people." They're people who have had a lack of resources in how to regulate their emotions or communicate well.
For example, if someone never saw their parents communicate about problems, how are they supposed to know how to say "I'm unhappy with the way our marriage is going, let's work on it"? Their healthy choices are limited.
I also talk about my own 41-year marriage and how even I have more options now for dealing with conflict than I did before I worked on my own wounds and core issues.
Key takeaways:
- A skilled therapist won't put simplistic ideas on complex problems
- You want someone who has worked on themselves and gone through some things
- The best therapy goes deeper and works with trauma (because it's almost always part of the problem)
- Success isn't just that the person doesn't cheat anymore - you want to become better than you were
Whether you're the betrayed partner needing support and empathy, or the person who betrayed needing to develop better options, this episode will help you understand what to look for in effective ther

One of the most common questions I get from betrayed partners: "Todd, do I need to separate from my partner to get clarity? Do I need to separate to have self-dignity?" And I completely understand why people ask this.
When you discover infidelity, your nervous system goes into shock. You can't think straight. You're so agitated by your partner's presence that all you want to do is cry or hit or scream. And here's what I know for sure: you cannot go back to business as usual like nothing happened. That would be betraying yourself.
In this episode, I talk about the different types of separation that can help you heal - physical, emotional, and sexual - and why most couples I work with don't physically separate but still need space in some form.
In this episode, you'll hear:
• Why going back to "business as usual" is actually betraying yourself
• How infidelity shocks your nervous system and why you need to calm down first •
The difference between physical, emotional, and sexual separation
• Why most couples don't physically separate but still heal successfully
• How to set clear rules if you do decide to separate temporarily
• The hyper-attachment and hypersexual response that some people have after betrayal
• Why you might need to stop having sex while you heal
• How to be your own person instead of acting out of fear of losing them
• What healthy separation looks like versus just avoiding your feelings
I share stories from my practice about people who needed different types of space - some went to stay with supportive family, others created emotional boundaries while staying in the same house. The goal is always self-regulation so you can get clarity about what's right for you.
And here's something important: if your partner can't handle you taking space to heal - if they threaten to go back to the affair partner because you're not making things nice for them - bye-bye to that person. A truly remorseful partner will support your need to regulate your nervous system.
My "Healing Infidelity From the Inside Out" approach isn't about quick fixes. It's about growing through the crisis so you have more options, more maturity, and become healthier individuals.

After you discover infidelity, everything changes. The sacred boundary around your couple has been ruptured by secrets, and now you need to rebuild it from the ground up. But what does that actually look like day-to-day?
In this episode, I walk you through the specific boundaries that are needed post-discovery so that healing can happen and your relationship can thrive again. And I need to be clear about something right up front: if you're the one who betrayed, you don't get to keep your "privacy rights" anymore. Not now. Maybe later when your partner's nervous system calms down, but right now? Total transparency is the price of rebuilding trust.
In this episode, you'll hear:
• What boundaries really are and why infidelity violates them so deeply
• How secrets rupture the sacred boundary around your couple
• Why the betrayer has to go way beyond normal to prove they're safe
• The right way to end an affair relationship (hint: your partner needs to witness it)
• When changing jobs is necessary for healing
• Social media boundaries that actually work after betrayal
• Why complete access to phones, computers, and bank accounts is non-negotiable
• How to tell real threats from anxiety-driven fears
• The difference between being controlled and helping someone feel safe
I share a story about a teacher who gave up his job of 25 years at a school where he was highly respected because that's where his affair partner worked. His wife wasn't comfortable with him staying, and he understood. That's the price you sometimes pay to resacralize—make sacred again—the boundary you have with your partner.
This isn't about being micromanaged or controlled. It's about helping the person who was betrayed feel safe again. That's what this is all about.

One of the most painful questions I get asked: "Todd, how do I forgive my partner after they cheated on me?" It feels like a monumental task when you've been so hurt, so tossed around, so dishonored by your partner's secrets.
Here's what I want you to know right up front - you don't have to forgive. That's totally up to you. But if you can, it makes you feel better because forgiveness is really about the person forgiving, not the person being forgiven.
In this episode, I walk you through the two different paths of forgiveness after infidelity: when you stay with your partner and when you don't. Each path looks different, but both require you to feel the pain before you can let it go.
In this episode, you'll hear:
• Why you don't have to forgive (but why it might help you)
• The two situations where forgiveness makes sense
• How to forgive when you're not staying together
• What it looks like when a partner is actually safe to forgive
• Why infidelity is a symptom, not the core issue
• How to talk to the protective part of you that doesn't want to forgive
• Living in the world of probability instead of demanding certainty
• Why forgiveness is a process, not a one-time event
You can't let go of pain that you don't feel. You got to feel first. It's like a tight fist and then you just let it go. Maybe you do that a thousand times, but you start to enjoy the feeling of being open again.
Whether you stay or go, I want you to give yourself permission to soften the wall, loosen the ties, and be open to have the love you deserve.

In this episode infidelity expert Todd Creager discusses one of the hardest questions you're grappling with right now: How do you know when your partner who betrayed you is actually becoming safe again?
You thought they were trustworthy before, and then your whole world got turned upside down. I hear this all the time from my couples - "I never thought my partner would be capable of doing that." So how do you recognize real change when you see it? This is such an important question, and I want to share with you what I've learned from working with so many inspiring couples who've walked this healing journey.
Here's what you'll discover in this episode:
- Learn the real reasons why people cheat in the first place - it's not what most people think, and understanding this is crucial for recognizing genuine change
- Discover the specific signs that show your partner is learning to regulate their emotions in healthier ways and why this is the key to lasting transformation
- Understand how true healing looks when your partner starts opening their heart to you more and learning to depend on you in healthy ways
- Find out why real safety comes when your partner learns to be both uplifted and soothed by YOU instead of seeking that regulation elsewhere
- Get the concrete behaviors to watch for that indicate your relationship dynamics are genuinely shifting toward deeper connection and trust
Todd has seen it happen many times - people who betrayed learning to regulate differently, opening up more, and truly enjoying their partner in ways they never did before.
There's no 100% guarantee in life, but there comes a point where there's a very high probability that person will not cheat again.
Todd wants to help you recognize what that looks like so you can make the world safer for love. Tune in, and let's talk about this together.

What happens when your partner hasn't just cheated once, but multiple times?
If you're dealing with serial infidelities, I know you're asking yourself some really painful questions: "What's wrong with me?" "Why do they keep cheating on me?" "Was any part of our relationship even real?" And here's the thing - after decades of working with thousands of couples, I have some answers that might surprise you.
In this episode, you'll discover:
Why multiple infidelities are never about you, the betrayed person - and I mean never, not once in all my years of practice has it been about the betrayed partner
The real reason why people become serial cheaters, and how understanding the "parts" of a person can help you stop personalizing their betrayal
Why the love in your relationship was real, even with all the pain and deception - and how to separate the part of them that acted out from the part that genuinely loved you
How to rebuild your self-worth when it feels completely shattered, starting with learning to "unblend" from your partner's destructive behavior
Why it's completely normal and even admirable that you still love them after everything they've put you through
Look, I know this is incredibly painful territory.
You're probably feeling like your world has been turned upside down, and you're questioning everything you thought you knew about your relationship. But I want you to know that there is hope, and there are real answers. This is the first part of what will be a multiple-part series on dealing with serial infidelity, and I'm going to walk you through this step by step.
Because at the end of the day, I'm here to help make the world safe for love - and that includes helping you heal from this betrayal.

Have you ever noticed how your partner can turn you into a defensive teenager faster than anyone else on the planet?
Hi everybody, this is Todd Creager. Picture this: You're a successful adult who handles boardroom meetings, manages a household, and navigates life's challenges with confidence. But then your spouse gives you some feedback, and suddenly you're feeling like a scared 6-year-old who's about to get in trouble.
If that sounds familiar, this episode will change everything for you.
As I approach my 42nd wedding anniversary this August, I'm sharing one of the most powerful discoveries I've made in four decades of marriage—a simple question that has saved my relationship more times than I can count.
Today's confession: Last month, I scratched our car backing out of the garage. My first reaction? Pure panic. Not because of the damage, but because I was terrified to tell my wife. In that moment, I wasn't a 67-year-old marriage therapist—I was a scared little boy who didn't want to get "in trouble."
Sound ridiculous? Maybe. But it's also completely normal.
In this deeply personal episode, you'll discover:
🎯 The one question that instantly shifts you from defensive and reactive to calm and connected (I reveal the exact moment this saved my marriage 30 years ago)
🎯 Why intimate relationships trigger us like nothing else can—and the surprising reason your partner activates your "younger parts" more than your boss, friends, or even family
🎯 The step-by-step process I teach clients to catch themselves before they say something they'll regret (this works even in the heat of the moment)
🎯 How to repair when you've already acted from that wounded younger place—and why these repairs can actually strengthen your relationship
🎯 The relationship dance we all do and how to stop being victims of patterns you're unconsciously co-creating together
Here's what makes this different: I'm not giving you theory from a textbook. These are confessions from someone who's been married for 41 years and has worked with thousands of couples. I'll share my most embarrassing moments—like feeling panicked about disappointing my wife or getting defensive when she points out something I forgot.

Todd's sharing a conversation that could completely change how you think about betrayal and recovery.
He recently interviewed Lora Cheadle, a betrayal recovery coach and attorney who discovered her husband's 15-year affair. What drew him to Lora is that she speaks from a deeper place about infidelity—challenging the rigid ideas that keep people stuck rather than helping them heal.
Here's what we explore together:
Why betrayal uncovers hidden truths about how we've been "performing" in life instead of expressing our authentic selves—and why this awareness is crucial for genuine healing
The game-changing shift from asking "Why did this happen to me?" to "What is this here to awaken in me?"—this single question can transform your entire recovery journey
Why infidelity was never about you but rather your partner's maladaptive coping mechanism, and how understanding this frees you from false responsibility and shame
The difference between being victimized (which absolutely happened) and staying stuck in the victim role—plus how to write a completely different narrative for your life
How betrayal can break generational patterns and help you become truly "self-possessed" instead of seeking external validation
Lora and I are very like-minded in our approach. We're not minimizing the real pain of betrayal—Lora herself was on the floor sobbing for weeks. But we're showing you there's a path through this that leads to genuine empowerment and self-discovery.
As Lora powerfully shared: "You were victimized—that's a fact. But being a victim is a role, and you can play that role until you're 80 years old. I get one life to live here, and I'm living it from an empowered place."
If you're struggling with infidelity or know someone who is, this episode offers a compassionate, no-shame approach to healing that integrates mind, body, and spirit.

In this episode, Todd Creager shares insights you probably won't find in most relationship books or articles - discoveries he's made from three decades of working with couples about how childhood attachment patterns can directly impact sexual desire in adults.
This isn't typical relationship advice. These are real patterns Todd has observed in his practice that help explain why some people struggle with sexual desire, especially after commitment.
In this episode, you'll learn:
- Why men with overly enmeshed relationships with their mothers often lose sexual desire once they commit to a partner
- How a woman's relationship with her father can create trust barriers that shut down sexual feelings
- A fascinating case study from Todd's training days - how changing something as simple as family dinner seating arrangements helped restore a couple's sex life
- Practical ways to set healthy boundaries with parents (even if they've passed away)
- Why understanding these patterns is often the first step toward reclaiming desire
Todd shares a compelling example from his practice that perfectly illustrates how addressing unhealthy family dynamics can bring back sexual desire. It happened during his specialized training at UCLA, and he remembers it clearly because it was such a powerful demonstration of how our past shapes our present intimacy.
Whether you're dealing with low sexual desire yourself, you're the partner of someone who is, or you're simply curious about the deeper connections between childhood and adult sexuality, this episode offers insights that could be genuinely helpful.
Todd emphasizes that every situation is different, and what he's sharing are patterns he's observed - not one-size-fits-all solutions. Professional help can be crucial when working through these complex attachment patterns.
Listen as Todd explores these sensitive topics with the understanding that healing is possible, and you deserve a relationship filled with trust, safety, and genuine intimacy.

Have you noticed that kissing has taken a backseat in your relationship?
As a relationship expert who's helped countless couples rekindle their passion, I've discovered that many couples who once shared passionate kisses now rarely lock lips – some haven't kissed in months or even years. In this episode, I dive deep into the science and emotion behind kissing, sharing why this intimate act is crucial for maintaining a vibrant, connected relationship.
What you'll discover in this episode:
-
The fascinating brain chemistry behind kissing and how it naturally boosts feel-good hormones like oxytocin, dopamine, and norepinephrine – the same chemicals that made you fall in love
-
Why kissing is more than just foreplay, and how it can actually heal relationship tensions and rebuild intimacy (even when you're not in the mood)
-
Practical tips for bringing back the art of passionate kissing, including communication strategies and techniques to make your kisses more meaningful and satisfying
-
The surprising reason why you shouldn't wait for the "perfect moment" to kiss your partner, and how consistent kissing can transform your relationship
Whether you're looking to reignite the spark in your relationship or deepen your current connection, this episode offers valuable insights into the power of kissing. As someone who fell in love with my wife after our first kiss (she's still a phenomenal kisser!), I understand firsthand how transformative a simple kiss can be.
Join me as we explore this intimate topic and learn how to make kissing a priority in your relationship again.
Remember, we're making the world safe for love, one kiss at a time.

In today's episode, I'm discussingsomething I see constantly in my therapy practice - attachment styles and how they profoundly impact our intimate relationships. As this topic becomes increasingly mainstream, I want to help you understand what your attachment style means for your relationships and, most importantly, how you can develop healthier patterns.

In this episode Therapist and relationship expert Todd Creager is diving deep into something he's observed over decades of working with couples - the devastating hidden costs of not addressing broken communication patterns in your relationship.
Having worked with countless couples, he's seen how unresolved communication issues can slowly erode what was once a sacred connection, leading couples to simply "settle" for a shell of what their relationship could be.
In this episode, you'll discover:
• Why those "little arguments" are actually symptoms of deeper disconnection, and how to identify what's really causing conflict in your relationship
• The surprising ways poor communication patterns can impact your physical health, from cardiovascular issues to a weakened immune system
• How to recognize when you're settling for less in your relationship and what to do before reaching the point of no return
• The truth about why most of us struggle with healthy communication (hint: it's not your fault) and how to break free from protective patterns that keep us stuck
Here's the reality - most of us never had good role models for healthy communication.
But that doesn't mean we have to accept a disconnected relationship. Whether you're constantly bickering or avoiding difficult conversations altogether, this episode will help you understand why you're stuck and how to move toward the deep, fulfilling connection you deserve.
Don't wait until your relationship reaches a crisis point. Join me to learn how to transform your communication patterns from ones that lead to disconnection to ones that foster love, understanding, and true intimacy.
Together, let's make the world safe for love.

In this episode, I'm diving into something that's absolutely crucial for keeping your relationship vibrant and alive - playfulness! While we're naturally playful during courtship, many couples lose that spark once they settle into the routine of committed life. But here's the thing - playfulness isn't about expensive vacations or grand gestures; it's about using your imagination to create magical moments in everyday life.
In this episode, you'll discover:
-
Why maintaining playfulness is vital for long-term relationship satisfaction, and how the "functionality trap" can slowly drain the joy from your partnership
-
Simple, practical ways to inject spontaneity into your relationship - from impromptu dance sessions to surprise love notes (even if being playful doesn't come naturally to you)
-
How committed relationships can actually become a safe space for exploring new sides of yourself and taking chances with your partner
Here's something I've noticed in my years as a marriage therapist: I've never seen a couple's relationship get worse from adding more playfulness - it always improves! Whether you're naturally playful or not, this episode will give you actionable ways to bring more joy, spontaneity, and connection into your relationship, even on a regular Tuesday at 6 PM.
Join me as we explore how to keep that playful spark alive in your relationship. Because remember, we're not just making relationships work - we're making them thrive with love, connection, and yes, a healthy dose of fun!
Time Line:
00:00 The importance of playfulness in relationships
00:39 Why couples become too functional
01:16 Using imagination to create playful moments
02:25 Making playfulness a daily priority

In this episode of The Let's Talk About Love & Sex and Infidelity Podcast, I'm diving deep into the three most common ways partners lose trust in their relationships. As a relationship expert who has worked with thousands of couples, I've seen how these trust-breaking behaviors can damage even the strongest bonds - but I've also witnessed remarkable healing when partners are willing to do the work.
What you'll discover in this episode:
• Why "little lies" aren't so little - Learn how even small deceptions can create damaging parent-child dynamics and why honesty truly is the best policy in relationships
• The devastating impact of broken promises - Understand how reliability issues erode trust over time and practical ways to rebuild it through "under-promising and over-delivering"
• The deep wounds of betrayal and infidelity - Gain insight into why cheating cuts so deep and what's really happening psychologically when partners betray trust
From my years of experience helping couples heal, I'll share why these trust issues often stem from immaturity and how partners can "grow up" to create more honest, reliable relationships. Whether you're struggling with trust issues or want to prevent them, this episode provides crucial understanding about what makes relationships feel safe and secure.
Ready to make your relationship more trustworthy? Join me for this honest conversation about building and maintaining trust with the one you love. Remember, while these issues are serious, repair is possible with the right guidance and commitment to growth.
Making the world safe for love,

Gaslighting is a psychological manipulation tactic that can have devastating effects on its victims. In this thought-provoking and informative video, therapist Todd Creager delves deep into the world of gaslighting, unraveling its insidious nature and shedding light on its destructive consequences.
Listen in to Todd Creager, a renowned therapist and expert in relationships, who takes us on a journey of understanding the intricate dynamics of gaslighting. With his expertise and compassionate approach, he explains how gaslighters employ various techniques to undermine and distort their victims' reality.
Through vivid storytelling and real-life examples, Todd walks us through the three stages of gaslighting: idealization, devaluation, and discard. In the idealization phase, the gaslighter showers their victim with adoration and praise, creating an illusion of perfection. However, this illusion shatters during the devaluation phase, as the gaslighter systematically tears down their victim's self-esteem, belittles their achievements, and invalidates their emotions.
As the manipulation intensifies, the victim's self-doubt deepens, leading to a profound impact on their overall well-being. Todd explores the toll gaslighting takes on the victim's physical health, discussing how chronic stress in such relationships can manifest as immune disorders, gastrointestinal issues, and even cardiac problems. Moreover, he delves into the emotional toll, explaining how the constant gaslighting creates an inflammatory environment, causing emotional distress and potentially leading to social isolation.
In this eye-opening video, you will gain awareness of the signs and symptoms of gaslighting, empowering you to identify if you or someone you know is a victim. Todd offers valuable insights into seeking support and finding ways to break free from the grip of gaslighting.
If you suspect you are caught in the web of gaslighting or want to learn more about this manipulative tactic, this video is a must-watch. Gain the knowledge and understanding to protect yourself and support others who may be going through this destructive experience.
Don't let gaslighting control your life any longer. Watch this video, share it with those who need to hear it, and together, let's make the world a safer place for love and relationships.

In this podcast episode, Relationship Expert and Therapist Todd Creager talks about accessing your romantic self and how meditation can make this easier for you...
Here’s what Todd says about romance: It is about both giving and receiving romance. He defines romance as an uplifting of life’s energy. In a sense, whenever you are uplifting your own energy or another’s, it is romantic.
Romance requires slowing down and not being distracted by a fast pace of life or a busy mind. It asks for you to become appreciative and grateful. Most of all, it asks for you to go deeper to see what you may have missed before at the surface of life.
Listen in and discover:
- Why it is important that we appreciate ourselves as a way to access our romantic selves.
- How do we then take this appreciation of ourselves and everything around us and translate that into romance?
- How does meditation help us access this already romantic deeper part of ourselves?
- Todd shares several examples of how a meditation practice has helped other couples access their romantic selves so that you can be inspired to do the same!

In this episode, Todd Creager discusses how the practice of mediation can quiet your inner critic. Your inner critic is that voice inside your head, a running tape that tells us things that are not always constructive.
Sometimes your inner critic can help keep you out of trouble or help us when we make a mistake…but most of the time it’s not constructive.
Listen in as Todd shares:
- How meditation slows you down so that you can start paying attention to your thoughts
- How it helps you not get so caught up by when the inner critic tries to take over your thoughts
- How it gives us a sense of separation that allows us to decide if we are going to listen to the inner critic or not
- And much more!

In this Episode, relationship coach and therapist Todd Creager discusses attachment trauma.
He sees a lot of it in his work with couples and individuals and feels that it’s important that everyone listens to this conversation because most of us think of trauma as big things that happen to us…
In fact, many of us have had small traumas and these are called “Mini T’s” and we don’t even realize it.
This type of attachment trauma happens when you haven’t had a secure attachment to your caretakers (parents) at an early age.
These situations can affect you for the rest of your life.
Todd reminds us that it is important to assess ourselves to see if we have any of these situations. He goes into depth in this video of the common situations that he sees that cause attachment trauma.
He points out that it is possible to make new choices and change your brains and life once you become aware that you have attachment trauma..
Listen to this episode and you'll discover the most common situations that cause these “Mini T’s” so that you can assess yourself and know what to do so that you can help yourself heal.

Is your relationship stuck in a rut or does it feel like you are in a cycle of bickering and arguing?
I see this a lot in couples I work with...and I do know one thing that really works to stop the cycle and that is to start looking at your partner with new eyes...
Perception runs our behavior. How we perceive our partners affect how we treat our partners and ultimately that affects how we contribute to their growth or their existing limitations.
When you choose to see your partner with new eyes, you will change your perceptions of him/her, and doing this ultimately benefits both of you.

I’ll bet you were more playful, romantic and maybe a bit silly...am I right? Then you became committed and maybe got married, bought a house and/or had kids...right?
At some point you became functional and lost the element of surprise and delight in your relationship. We all need to get back the playfulness in our relationships. In this video I share with you how you can get it back and start shifting the mood in your relationship. Here’s to more fun, surprises (good ones!) and playfulness in your relationships!
