The Angry Therapist Podcast A Small Surf Moment With a Big Relationship Lesson
In this episode, John Kim shares a simple moment from the ocean that became a powerful lesson about relationships and emotional repair.
While learning to surf in Costa Rica, two very different encounters in the water reveal why ruptures are unavoidable—but repair is everything.
One moment of anger leads to disconnection. One moment of acknowledgment leads to instant safety and ease.
John also shares details about his upcoming surf retreat in Costa Rica—a space to slow down, regulate the nervous system, build real connection, and experience the healing power of the ocean together.
A reminder that the strength of any relationship isn’t measured by how little we rupture—but by how willing we are to repair.
