The Relationship Podcast - There has to be an I before We!

Welcome to The Paradox of Change, where three experienced therapists guide you through the essential truth:

I B4We - You have to have a relationship with yourself before you can have a relationship with others!

We believe in understanding your needs, boundaries, and capacity for connection - because the most important relationship you'll ever have is the one with yourself.

Meet Your Guides:
Elliot Burgess - Individual therapist specializing in men's mental health and the foundational "I" work that transforms all relationships

Lottie Passell-Syms - Sex and intimacy specialist dedicated to couples therapy, helping partners navigate the "We" journey through deeper connection and authentic communication and better sex.

Fi Sclif - Individual therapy and growth coaching focusing on mindset, money, and marketing

What You'll Discover:
•⁠  ⁠How self-discovery leads to relationship mastery
•⁠  ⁠Lottie's proven couples therapy techniques for rebuilding intimacy and trust
•⁠  ⁠Practical tools for infidelity recovery, trauma healing, and authentic communication
•⁠  ⁠Insights into masculinity, femininity, and identity development
•⁠  ⁠Strategies for navigating divorce, dating after trauma, and co-parenting
•⁠  ⁠Real conversations about narcissistic abuse recovery and neurodiversity in relationships

Our Philosophy:
Inspired by Carl Rogers' wisdom: "When a client accepts themselves as they are, the curious paradox is that they then change." Whether you're working on yourself individually or as a couple, transformation starts within - heal your relationship with yourself, and watch every other relationship in your life flourish.

Content You Can Expect:
•⁠  ⁠Deep-dive conversations with mental health experts
•⁠  ⁠Individual growth episodes ("The I Series") with Elliot, Fi & Lottie

•⁠  ⁠Practical tools you can use immediately

Whether you're single and working on yourself, in a relationship needing guidance, or navigating life transitions, we're here as your collaborative guides, not distant experts, but fellow travelers who've walked these paths.
