The Therapy Crouch
And they call it, Puppy Love
In this week’s episode of The Therapy Crouch, Abbey and Peter are discussing all things young love.
With their own daughter approaching dating age, the gang reflect on some of their own young love experiences. Abbey reminisces on getting caught telling porky pies so she could sneak out without a chaperone whilst Pete cringes at some of his Dad’s antics when he was young and on the pull.
We have also heard from some of our listeners whose young love story has lasted the test of time and they are still rocking it many years later - much to the dismay of some of their doubting High School teachers.
And finally, the country’s favourite Agony Ab is back to help with some of the dilemmas you guys have found yourself in the past couple of weeks - with a needy boyfriend who insists on a morning cuddles and a wife who is dreading spending time with her husband during his paternity leave being just a couple.
Enjoy this week’s, Therapy Crouch!
