In this final episode of Season One, Josh pulls together the through-line that runs through the entire Punk Rock Therapy project — the uncomfortable truth that what we want most in life is usually found in the place we least want to look.

He reflects on his own work with anger, the parts of ourselves we exile, and how our wounds don't disappear just because we ignore them. The places inside us that scare us, embarrass us, or feel "too much" are often the exact places where our power and presence are hiding.

This episode is about embracing the contradictions that real growth requires: stepping into tension to find relief, surrendering to find strength, and turning toward pain to reclaim ourselves.

Season One ends here.

But the work doesn't.

In this episode, Josh breaks down a painful pattern that shows up again and again in relationships — finding yourself in the same fight, with a different person, and wondering what's wrong with you.

Using Muhammad Ali's obsession with rematching Joe Frazier, Josh explains why we're drawn back to the people and dynamics that hurt us the most. Not because we're broken, but because our nervous system is looking for a rematch — the same fight, this time with a different outcome.

He explores how childhood wounds quietly shape adult attraction, why "chemistry" can be a warning sign, and how unhealed pain shows up either as the same wound or its opposite.

The fight feels personal.

But it was set up a long time ago.

In this episode, Josh talks about one of the most common and least dramatic ways relationships fall apart — not through blowups, betrayal, or big moments, but through not being heard.

Drawing from a real couples session, he explains how two opposite experiences can be happening at the same time, and how one partner slowly loses themselves when their inner world goes unseen. Over time, that invisibility adds up — not in one fatal wound, but in hundreds of small cuts.

Josh breaks down why feeling unheard is so corrosive to intimacy, why defensiveness kills connection, and how simply learning to truly listen can be the difference between a relationship that survives and one that quietly dies.

Most relationships don't end with a bang.

It's usually death by a thousand cuts.
