How to Heal Yourself Without Losing Your Relationship

#1000DaysSoberPodcast #LeeDavy #STRIVE

 

What happens when you’re growing, healing, evolving…

and your partner isn’t?

 

In this powerful conversation, I sit down with licensed psychotherapist, master certified consciousness coach, and clinical hypnotherapist Casey Stevens to explore what really happens inside relationships when one person begins to wake up — and the other stays exactly where they are.

 

If you’ve ever felt torn between loving someone and slowly losing yourself… this episode will feel like someone finally turned the lights on.

 

Here’s what we dive into:

 

• Why “inviting” your partner into growth works — and “dragging” them never does

• The dignity of someone’s own process, and how over-functioning destroys safety

• How nervous system regulation shapes every argument, rupture, and repair

• Why addiction, gaming, workaholism, or alcohol often block intimacy at its root

• How to know the difference between misaligned values and a partner who is willing, but wounded

 

If your partner drinks, disconnects, distracts, or shuts down — and you’re carrying the emotional load — this is your permission slip to stop abandoning yourself and start leading with SELF.
