About Andrea
Andrea J. Medaris, Psy.D., is a relationship psychologist, writer, and certified supervisor in Emotionally Focused Couple Therapy. She is Director of the Center for Relationships at Psychology Specialists of Maine and President of EFT Maine. Her work explores the emotional logic of love: why we do the things we do in relationships, and how understanding them can reveal possibilities for connection, discovery, and transformation.
She writes The Emotional Logic, a newsletter about love, science, and the mysteries that get bigger when we solve them. Her book project, What You Wish For, explores how secure love can expand who we are and what we dare to become.
Andrea also co-hosts The Desire Lab, a podcast exploring the psychology, science, stories, and cultural forces that shape desire, intimacy, sex, and long-term relationships.
Things I love to talk about
You married the right person, and that's the problem.
Why the fit that creates the attraction becomes the fault line the fights run along, and why that's also the way through.
The want to want.
The suffering nobody has words for: still loving your partner and grieving your own desire. What that feeling is actually telling you, and what it takes to feel something again.
The monkey at the window: why safety doesn't kill desire.
A famous experiment's forgotten second finding, and what it reveals about why desire fades in long-term love and what actually brings it back.
Why insight isn't the same as intimacy.
How couples can become fluent in therapy language while still avoiding the emotional contact that creates real change.
The role of fantasy in relationships.
How the things we long for give us information about the direction we want to go, and what’s needed for us to get there.
