Talk To Me: The Debra Fileta Podcast

Please click HERE to fill out our listener survey Today we’re digging into part two and childhood wounds, with our second couple in our COUPLES THERAPY PODCAST…Nikki and Russel. They are a young couple who are feeling disconnected emotionally, spiritually, and physically. Today we’re digging into some of the things from their past that are making their way into their present. Because our childhood wounds end up coming back up in our grown-up relationships if we don’t take the time to heal. Today we’re going on a journey to their childhoods, and helping them see how they are acting out on some of those roles even today as adults in their marriage. It’s a powerful episode, watching them learn, and connect, and have empathy for one another in a way they didn’t before. We all have childhood wounds that will come up in how we interact in our marriage. I hope you’ll listen and learn from this courageous couple.

Please click HERE to fill out our listener survey I want to introduce you to the second couple in our COUPLES THERAPY PODCAST…Nikki and Russel are a young couple who are feeling disconnected emotionally, spiritually, and physically. Coming into marriage, they had some different expectations — and hadn’t talked in depth about what to expect. Their false expectations, specifically around sex and marriage, came from the church and purity culture. When they got into marriage and things didn’t match what they expected – they didn’t know what to do. Their wedding night didn’t go as planned, and they have been truly struggling every since. And so, they’ve avoided intimacy every since — physically, emotionally, and even spiritually. In today’s episode they reveal a big secret they’ve never shared with anyone…and now they are here, trying again, wanting to heal and see if there’s a way to reconnect in their marriage on every level and deal with the big secret.

These 10 relationships killers may seem small, but they’re deadly (if you ignore them). These things can slowly creep in and hurt our relationship.  Big marriage problems don’t start big. They start with the little things that we neglect and ignore, that culminate into bigger things. That’s why it’s important for us to start recognizing these relationship killers – little things that can cause big damage – long before they start to impact your marriage. Whether you’re single, dating, or marriage — there is something for you to take away from this episode because many of these things either impact you today, or will impact you in the future.  So tune in to today’s episode on the Love & Relationships Podcast and follow the show by clicking on the button below!
