@thesecurerelationship: Does it ever feel like things get worse before they get better in your relationship, especially when old wounds keep getting bumped? In this episode, Brian finally puts words to how alone and useless he felt after his attack, and how watching Bethany receive care for her accident pulled all of that pain back up again. This is not about keeping score on who had it worse, it is about what happens to emotional safety when your deepest attachment needs were missed in the past and then get triggered in the present. When partners can stay in the conversation long enough to name that hurt and listen for the meaning underneath it, the work starts to move from surviving together to actually healing together. #thesecurelovepod #SecureLovePodcast #SecureLove #attachmenttheory #emotionalsafety #oldwounds #attachmentneeds #relationshiphealing #relationshippodcast #juliewiththegoodwords
