Take the Emotional Safety Assessment Quiz
Are you tired of small habits turning into big fights? Do you wish your partner could just “know” how you feel—without you having to explain it every time?
In this episode of Relationship Renovation, Tarah and EJ Kerwin share how hidden assumptions and unspoken judgments quietly chip away at intimacy. Drawing from a recent psychodrama training and their own marriage, they reveal how a simple act like fixing a partner’s hair uncovered 15 years of miscommunication and resentment.
You’ll learn:
- Why assumptions and daily habits can trigger unexpected tension
- How to use the “Empty Chair” technique for safe, honest conversations
- Simple ways to stop wishing your partner could read your mind—and start creating emotional safety instead
If you’re ready to turn everyday frustrations into opportunities for growth and connection, this episode offers both heartfelt stories and actionable tools.
