Have you ever felt caught in the emotional riptide of a relationship, where every push and pull seems to unearth deeper wounds?

In this episode, we talk about the cycle of conflict and the pivotal moments where emotional work teeters on the edge of being constructive or destructive. Our candid dialogue peels back the layers of reenactment in relationships, offering insights into how this phenomenon can hinder growth and healing, leaving partners spinning in a seemingly endless cycle of distress.
