@scott.austin.martin: Most people think relationships end because of one big event. An affair. A fight. A betrayal. But most relationships actually d-e slowly. Through nervous system unsafety. Through criticism, defensiveness, emotional unpredictability, shutdown, contempt, avoidance, unresolved resentment, years of failed repair. Eventually, one person stops feeling safe enough to stay fully open. They start walking on eggshells. Over-functioning. Suppressing themselves. Emotionally withdrawing just to survive the relationship. And the tragic part is that many couples still love each other while this is happening. They just no longer know how to create safety together. That is what my book SAFE is about. Not becoming perfect. Understanding the minimum conditions required for emotional safety, connection, repair, trust, and intimacy to actually survive long term. Because love without safety eventually forces the nervous system into self-protection. Link in bio for SAFE. #nervoussystem #relationships #relationshipadvice #emotionalsafety #menscoach
