Caller: “Is My Girlfriend’s Insomnia a Deal Breaker?”
Summary
Dr. John Delony advises a caller on supporting his girlfriend through chronic insomnia, emphasizing the need for a clear-headed partner and prioritizing the relationship over individual comfort. He also guides an autistic husband on communicating with his wife by focusing on emotional presence rather than logical analysis, while validating their diverse backgrounds. Finally, a father asks how to balance letting his 17-year-old son face natural consequences with providing support, and Delony encourages allowing failure while maintaining unconditional love.
