This week on Off The Cuff with Danny LoPriore, I speak with Mac Stanley Cazeau, LMHC, owner and operator of Therapy Is For Everyone Counseling. Many people either walk out of their relationships or stay in them, but very few manage to work on them – but Mac’s advice might change the way you think about relationships.   “If I'm going to talk about relationships, I had to fix my relationship first, me and my partner, we haven't had a conflict in over eight years, we have disagreements, right? Because we're two different people from two different worlds. So we're going to have two different perspectives on a number of things. But a conflict is a lack of skill sets. We have those skills, right, we continuously implement them. So we're not gonna have a conflict, but we're going to have a disagreement.”   After truly understanding the difference between having a conflict and disagreement, Mac chose to help other people struggling with their relationships. In today’s episode, Mac talks about the various solutions to solving everyday disagreements with your partner, approaching them positively and acknowledging their efforts.    “Every time you depart and reunite with your partner, you are to engage in a six-second kiss. So every time you leave the house and every time you return to the home, you get a kiss for six seconds.  So that's called the potential kiss that has the potential to lead to a million things right?”   Mac also shares his take on narcissism and how it can leave a devastating mark on the partners in a relationship.    “What's interesting is that a narcissist hunts match well with a codependent right so those that if you're continuously dating a narcissist at some point, you got to ask yourself, what is it about me or which parts of myself have not healed enough to the point that I'm susceptible to a narcissist.”   In This Episode (03:15) The craziest things about American culture (08:25) Voodoo versus spirituality (10:08) Mac steps into mental health (12:49) The good things about cognitive-behavioral therapy (15:31) The fine line between a conflict and disagreement (19:19) The cheat code to life (23:24) Why Mac thinks he’s a dope therapist (24:48) Why it’s important not to have a tunnel vision (26:40) Couples therapists aren’t referees (28:25) Understanding Narcissism  (34:50) Planning the exits (37:11) Why narcissism has become a circus (39:23) Do narcissists change?
