Fascinating and insightful, but throughout the discussion I wondered whether Tali's wife had given permission for a public airing of these intimate details about her life and psyche, including her sexual practices. I can certainly imagine people in their lives making a point to listen to this special content and finding out things about their friend or family member they have no right to know.
If she did have this permission, please reassure listeners. If not, then then I am shocked at the violation. I would very much appreciate your addressing this issue with this guest, and others. It's one thing to freely discuss one's own issues'; quite another to air someone else's without permission, particularly when discussing pain and psychological health, not abusive behavior.
There is always a tension between "truth telling," for example, in a memoir, and the privacy of others. I tend to veer toward the privacy perspective. I would hope that as therapists you do as well.
This is a very reasonable and important concern. My wife gave the green light. She's not shouting these private details from the rooftops, but she thinks it's important enough to share where it can help.
I feel that what is being described is body dysmorphic disorder - a disabling preoccupation with perceived defects or flaws in appearance. It can affect all genders, and makes sufferers excessively self-conscious. From Arielle Isaac describing inconformity with her breast shape to today's guest thinking her hips are to wide, and all the gender confused who hate their genitals or secondary sex characteristics (e.g., body hair), I think they may be suffering from body dysmorphia. I strongly encourage you to go to the bddfoundation website and videos to learn more about this.

That’s great to hear. Thank you for responding!

I wonder if the wife is experiencing internalized homophobia and the gender distress is related to her sexuality.
