From "Never Again" to "I Do": Our Relationship Healing Journey

Just days before their wedding, Joree and John sit down to reflect on how they transformed their insecure attachment - hers anxious, his avoidant - into a secure partnership. They share what it looked like to move from fear and defensiveness to trust and safety, and why the work of healing old wounds is the foundation for a lasting relationship. In this heartfelt conversation, John and Joree open up about what each of them had to face within themselves: John's struggle with shame and defensiveness, Joree's fear of losing independence, and how those patterns used to collide. They also talk about the turning points that transformed their relationship, such as the courage to look inward, the commitment to repair quickly, and the practice of listening without defensiveness. Along the way, they explore the deeper meaning of emotional safety that allows for the ability to be fully seen, to bring anything to your partner without fear of rejection, and to believe in one another's good intentions. You'll also hear a fascinating new finding about early friendships shaping adult attachment, why putting the "us" first (per Terry Real) creates two stronger individuals, and how trust and transparency (including access to each other's phone) becomes a non-issue when safety is real. If you've ever wondered whether anxious/avoidant pairs can become secure, this is your playbook, equal parts science, story, and skills.
