About James Christensen Podcast

Couples therapist James Christensen, LMFT talks about love, marriage, and relationships: why couples keep having the same fight, how to rebuild trust after an affair, what narcissism and anxious attachment look like up close, and how to grow up inside your marriage instead of waiting for your partner to change. Many episodes are conversations with Catherine Roebuck. Other guests include Dr. Dave Jenkins, Dr. Corey Allan, Chad Fraga, and Audrey Schoen. Much of the show draws on Crucible Therapy, the approach developed by Dr. David Schnarch. James sees couples in Roseville, California, and online.

   38. Is there ever a good reason to yell at your kids?

   James and Catherine discuss why yelling at kids is harmful, except in rare moments of immediate danger, and how parents teach far more through their example than through punishment or harshness. They explore autonomy, emotional regulation, and the long-term impact of parenting, arguing that kindness, respect, and steady growth create “emotional wealth” that can shape families for generations Catherine Roebuck: https://catherineroebuck.com James Christensen: https://jamesmchristensen.com Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/2PC7NKPstyNi08TNfYcyaT Youtube: https://youtube.com/@jameslmft Instagram: instagram.com/jameslmft Tiktot: https://www.tiktok.com/@kindcourage
