You're halfway through a degree, a job, or a plan you've spent years building, and part of you already knows it isn't right. Saying that out loud feels like admitting you wasted all that time, so you keep your head down and keep going. Psychologist Dr Tim Sharp is back on This Complex Life to talk …
You know something's off. You're shorter with the people you love, you're not sleeping properly, and the things you used to enjoy don't do much for you anymore, yet telling someone feels harder than pushing through on your own.

You're the one everyone brings their problems to, at work, at home and everywhere in between.
By the time the day winds down you've held the school emails, the parent who needs a phone call, the clients and the health advice you keep meaning to follow, and you're not sure who gets to hold any of it…
You still say I love you before bed. You still sit next to each other on the couch most nights. Nothing bad has happened, no big fight, no betrayal, and somewhere along the way you stopped feeling like you actually know this person.
This episode looks at three reasons emotional intimacy fades in lo…
Most people don't know the difference between a sex therapist and a couples therapist, or which one they actually need. In this episode, Tania Wellby, an Accredited Mental Health Social Worker and Sex Therapist, joins Marie to talk about sexual scripts, mismatched desire and why your partner turnin…
You love your partner and you'd choose them again if you had to do it all over, so why did you stop wanting sex with them?
As a couples therapist, this is one of the most common things I hear from couples, and it's almost never about love running out.
