This weekly podcast comes to you from Veritas Psychology Partners, Dr. Dan Kessler and Dr. Gayle MacBride. Your host selects a conversation from the internet forums that neither psychology has heard or read before, and they give their unrehearsed, unvarnished opinions--essentially answering the question, "just who is the asshole here?" The host brings in feedback from internet commentors to round out the discussion, and we close out each episode with a bonus conversation about what ever happens to be on their mind. Sometimes something from their mailbag.

Today, they are joined by Dr. Lauren Fogel Mersy (she/her). She is a licensed psychologist, an AASECT-certified sex therapist, and a certified emotionally focused couples therapist. She specializes in sexual health and relationships and owns her own private practice in Minnesota. She is the co-author of the book, Desire: An Inclusive Guide to Navigating Libido Differences in Relationships (https://amzn.to/4fTtXMg). You can find her at her webpage, https://drlaurenfogel.com/, and on Instagram and Facebook @drlaurenfogelmersy

In this episode, the question is: "Am I the a**hole for putting the kibosh on my son's naked vacation?"

Also, Dr. Gayle MacBride mentioned the show "Heart Stopper", (2022) so here's a link for that: https://www.netflix.com/title/81059939
