June 14, 2011
Category: Emotional Communication Dynamics
In this episode, Armand DiMele explores the concept of the ‘null hypothesis’ in relationships, suggesting that people often choose partners based on their ‘false selves’ rather than their true identities. He discusses how societal pressures and childhood experiences shape our adaptive selves, leading individuals to present curated versions of themselves to their partners. Through a series of engaging dialogues with guests, including Linda Vanella Vanella Vanella and Sherri Siegel, the show delves into the complexities of love, acceptance, and the challenges of revealing one’s true self in intimate relationships.
