Episode notes
Disconnection Feels Like A Broken Car
- Chronic disconnection feels like living in a broken brand-new car that won't steer or start.
- Glenn and Phyllis link long-term marital pain to lacking tools for deep connection, not lack of care.
Childhood Silence Taught Emotional Hiding
- Glenn recounts childhood silence after breaking his arm at five and learning not to express pain.
- That early lesson contributed to adult difficulty with authenticity and vulnerability.
Identity Loss Drives Disconnection
- Disconnection often stems from identity loss and unprocessed emotion, not the addictive behavior itself.
- Loneliness and fear drive short-term solutions like substances or porn, which only temporarily soothe.
