About this listen

If you've ever felt not good enough, feared rejection, or found yourself reacting in ways you don't even understand, this episode is for you. Marriage & family therapist Trevor (Art of Healing by Trevor) explains why so many couples get stuck in cycles of pursuit, shutdown, anxiety, and disconnection — and the emotional transformation required to break free. This conversation is raw, restorative, and deeply practical.

In this episode you'll learn:

  • Why fear of abandonment and "I'm not enough" beliefs show up in marriage

  • The two classic patterns: people-pleasing pursuer + shut-down withdrawer

  • How emotional safety outside the bedroom changes intimacy inside it

  • How to work with your inner child to create real healing

  • A step-by-step framework for emotional transformation

  • How secure partners show up differently in sex, connection, and conflict

  • Why awareness alone isn't enough — and what actually creates change
