  • From Trauma to Transformation: The Healing Power of Empathy

    From Trauma to Transformation: The Healing Power of Empathy
    Oct 7 2025
    Have you ever wondered why some relationships feel healing while others leave us drained? The secret often comes down to one word: empathy.

    Hi, I’m Dr. Margaret Cochran, and in this episode of The Relationship Doctor, I’m diving into the real meaning of empathy—what it is, what it isn’t, and why it has the power to transform not just our closest relationships, but entire communities.

    I’ll share a moving story from my early days as a psychotherapist that opened my eyes to empathy’s ability to break painful cycles and even help both victims and perpetrators find new, healthier paths. Along the way, I’ll unpack the difference between empathy and sympathy (hint: they’re not the same), the challenges of staying empathic in our fast-paced, digital world, and simple ways you can begin cultivating deeper empathy right where you are—at home, at work, and in society.

    If you’ve ever longed for stronger connections, more understanding, or even a kinder world, this conversation is for you. Let’s explore how empathy isn’t just an emotion—it’s a superpower we all have the ability to strengthen.

  • Worst Thing

    Worst Thing
    Sep 9 2025
    Let’s be honest, some of the habits that damage our relationships the most are the ones we barely notice.

    Hi, I’m Dr. Margaret Cochran, and in this episode of The Relationship Doctor, I’m taking a closer look at the quiet patterns that can slowly chip away at intimacy, even in the most loving partnerships. It’s not always the big blowouts that create distance, it’s the little things we do out of fear, discomfort, or the desire to keep the peace.

    In this episode, I’ll walk you through why tension in relationships isn’t something to fear, rather it’s actually a doorway to deeper intimacy if you know how to navigate it. We’ll talk about healthy conflict, emotional honesty, and how choosing your partner (instead of outsourcing your pain) builds trust that lasts.

    So if you’re ready to grow closer instead of drifting apart, stay with me. Let’s get real about the habits that help, or hurt, the love we’re building.

    Key Takeaways:

    Embrace Relationship Tension, It’s Not All Bad!
    Don’t Fear Conflict, Face It Together
    The Hidden Dangers of Confiding Outside Your Relationship
    Talk to Each Other, Not Everyone Else
    Choose Growth Over Avoidance

    Quotes:

    "Every time you face problems and work through them, you get closer and your bond is stronger."- Dr. Margaret Cochran

    "Tension in your relationship is not your enemy—it’s a powerful tool for growth and intimacy."- Dr. Margaret Cochran

  • Selfish

    Selfish
    Sep 2 2025
    Here’s a question that might ruffle some feathers: What if being selfish could actually save your relationship?

    I’m Dr. Margaret Cochran, and in this episode of The Relationship Doctor, I’m talking about something we’re usually told to avoid, selfishness. We’ve been taught, especially as women, to equate love with self-sacrifice. To put others first. To stay quiet, stretch thin, and smile through it. But what if that script is all wrong?

    This episode, titled “Selfish,” is about flipping the narrative. I’ll walk you through why tending to your own needs first isn’t only healthy, it’s essential for authentic intimacy and lasting emotional connection. There’s a world of difference between being selfish and being self-centered, and once you learn it, everything changes.

    Let’s rethink what self-care really means in love, and why the most giving relationships often start with a little healthy selfishness.

    Key Takeaways:

    Selfishness Isn’t a Dirty Word
    Put Your Mask On First
    Selfish vs. Self-Centered
    Fuel Your Emotional Engine
    Practice Makes Perfect

    Quotes:

    "Being selfish is vital in creating intimacy, when your needs are met, you can love and support others with true joy in your heart."- Dr. Margaret Cochran

    "When you care for yourself, you create space for deeper, more meaningful connections."- Dr. Margaret Cochran
