Tegan is eight months pregnant, alone, and desperately wants to put her crumbling life in the rearview mirror. So she hits the road, planning to stay with her brother until she can figure out her next move. But she doesn't realize she's heading straight into a blizzard. She never arrives at her destination. Stranded in rural Maine with a dead car and broken ankle, Tegan worries she's made a terrible mistake. Then a miracle occurs: she is rescued by a couple who offers her a room in their warm cabin until the snow clears. But something isn't right.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 8,796
It’s a beautiful day in Newport, Rhode Island, when Phoebe Stone arrives at the grand Cornwall Inn wearing a green dress and gold heels, not a bag in sight, alone. She's immediately mistaken by everyone in the lobby for one of the wedding people, but she’s actually the only guest at the Cornwall who isn’t here for the big event. Phoebe is here because she’s dreamed of coming for years—she hoped to shuck oysters and take sunset sails with her husband, only now she’s here without him, at rock bottom, and determined to have one last decadent splurge on herself.

Meet Randi Burnett—she’s brilliant, she’s beautiful, and she works for the bride. Missing groom? Intoxicated in-laws? Crying ring-bearer? You name it, she wrangles it. Too bad her personal life isn’t thriving like her side gig as a bridesmaid for hire. Recently dumped, Randi throws herself into her biggest challenge yet when she’s hired as a maid of honor and pretend best friend for an ice queen bride. There’s just one problem—the best man is infuriating, overprotective, and anti-marriage.

Needed antidote to pervasive norms on handling a depressed loved one
This is the first time I’ve heard Ms. (Dr. ?)
Perel approach family dynamics outside of one-on-one intimate relationships. In this case, it’s a couple perplexed by the onset of a serious mood disorder for their college aged daughter.
What drew me to Ms. Perel, when I first heard her on This American Life, was her ability to challenge her patients while remaining deeply and genuinely empathetic toward their suffering. As popular as the antidote:
Suffering Person: “Why me, God?”
God: “Why not?”
Is in American culture; I’ve only seen that mentality promoted by people in denial about the mechanisms of their own pain and - perhaps more relevant in a culture still so thoroughly influenced by organized Christianity’s emphasis on the selfless ideal - the pain they’re spreading to those who love and possibly depend on them.
Ms. Perel seems prepared for the fact that most of her American patients enter the room clinging at least partially to the above referenced ideal, and possesses the ability to guide these patients to a more nuanced view that appears to help them feel more compassion toward themselves and whoever else is involved.
After this first episode of Season 2, I can say that Ms. Perel appears to be able to apply her gifts to family dynamics that extend beyond the individual couple.

Beautiful work captured in a therapeutic session.
Would you consider the audio edition of Ep. 1: You Need Help to Help Her to be better than the print version?
First, the production is wonderfully done. Sound quality, pace, music interludes, narrative annotations and clients' content in the prologue. Great work! I am a clinical social worker and find this to be amazingly insightful and affirming to my work with my clients.
Who was your favorite character and why?
the french guy with his girlfriend because it shoes the power of adaptation available when the system is overwhelmed.

Esther is magic
Esther Perel's wisdom is both objective and compassionate, and it makes her a joy to listen to. Every episode of her podcast is gold when it comes to learning about how to navigate our relationships. But this one is especially ideal for parents struggling with depression in their children. Fascinating and thought-provoking whether you're a parent or not.

Parenting 101
Isolated lives, isolated families, where are there multi-generation families living in close proximity? Not in today’s society and culture. This episode talks about a family that has slip into a “negative feedback loop”. Esther Perel shows a couple how to get off the merry go round of broken family dynamics. For anyone struggling with a teenage child this is a “must listen” episode.

A voice for relationships
Though her accent is at times distracting, I find that I listen more carefully. In fact, much of what she imparts I want to SEE in text format, so I have purchased the books as well as audio editions.
I think this woman is a compassionate, reasonable, realistic voice for relationship work for our time. So many books try to, and succeed, in polarizing the sexes, ignoring same-sex unions and unmarried as demoralizing. I found her insights to be inspirational, instructive and challenging in the best way possible.
Each time I read or listen to her work I am continually astounded at my own ignorance of how to be healthy in a close relationship, sexual or nonsexual.
Well worth the listen and the read. Buy her books. You won't be disappointed if you are interested in loving and living fully.
