    #40 Which “Part” of You is Driving the LDR Bus?

    We are on a unique journey being in a LDR or commuter marriage. ❤️✈️Sometimes it’s like driving a bus 🚌down a bumpy road! We all know we want to be with our person and the distance won’t stop our love! However there are parts of us that struggle with the distance, parts that hate the distance and there are even parts of us that enjoy time apart. At different times ….different parts of us are driving that LDR bus.🚌 Why? Why do we vacillate from one part to the other?  Join us for a fascinating discussion about these parts of us from the modality of Internal Family Systems with our guests Tammy Sollenberger, LCMHC & Henry D. Beckwith, Psy.d.
    Tammy and Henry are not only in a long distance relationship themselves, but are also licensed psychotherapists who specialize in the IFS model. You will be shocked to learn how helpful it is to look at how we cope with distance through this lens! ❤️✈️

Love this Podcast!!

My husband and I are not in a commuter marriage but the ideas and wisdom shared through Abe and Elaine are applicable to any marriage. Sometimes it’s easy to take our spouse for granted and this podcast has truly given me tools and resources to be intentional about with marriage. I love the community that they are building at “Love is in the Air” supporting each other and celebrating with each other. This is a must listen!!

Great podcast

I recently came across Elaine & Abe's podcast and took a listen. I love thier style, they are so authentic and real. I listened to a few episodes and I love how honest they are about thier relationship and the challenges they have encountered. They offer great advice for couples who are in long distance relationships, however, I feel that any couple can benefit from their advise and their story. I highly recommend thier podcast for any one currently in a relationship or considering entering one. They are super down to earth and make you feel really comfortable as if you have known them for years.

Elaine & Abe are charming.

Listening to Elaine and Abe’s podcast makes us feel like we're sitting in their living room, having a drink with them. My husband and I listen to Love is in the Air when we are both in the same city to gather ideas for how to handle the next time we will be long-distance again. Elaine and Abe are a charming couple. Their podcast is a great blend or advice, ideas and humor. Looking forward to future episodes!
