Every relationship requires a balance between individual identity and couplehood. Armand DiMele argues that losing the “me” inside the “we” drives compulsive behaviors from internet pornography to over-exercising, and that preserving a private self is not a threat to love but its foundation.
Every person’s inner life is radically different, and sleep is where that strangeness shows most clearly. Armand DiMele moves from the diversity of human experience into the territory of sexomnia, narcoleptic false memories of childhood assault, and Ambien’s surprising links to hypersexuality and compulsive night eating.
Philosopher and author Dr. Christian De Quincey argues that relationships are not something individuals enter into but the very source from which individuals emerge. Armand DiMele and co-host Roberta Maria Atti explore how the shift from feeling to reason fractured human connectedness, with reference to Jean Liedloff’s continuum concept.
