  • Insightful

    Insightful podcast. Only dislike is how often the host interrupts the couple in therapy and how often she puts words in their mouth. Other than that, the information is very helpful.

  • Deeply Impactful

    I’m beyond grateful for Julie, Drew and Melissa. This podcast has changed my marriage in understanding both my husband and myself. In our relationship, I am the avoidant partner, which has made me question myself in the past—wondering if I was losing my mind or if something was wrong with my personality. It’s incredibly validating and comforting to know there is a good reason why I have created negative cycle’s. It’s also calming to feel so much empathy for my sweet anxious husband, who used to ... more

  • Incredible

    I listened to Julie and the real-life couple, Melissa and Drew, on their couple’s counselling podcast, and I found it super helpful and informative. Many of the things they shared felt so familiar and relevant to my own experiences with my husband. It was amazing to have the opportunity to listen and learn from their journey.

    I ended up listening to all the episodes from start to finish because I found them so valuable. Anytime I was driving, I would tune in, and it was really good—really insig... more

  • Life Changing

    I can’t tell you how eye opening Julie’s work is. I’ve read her book, and this podcast continues to have me in awe. I see myself and my (ex) husband everywhere in it. I just wish I would have found her years ago. I’d still be married if I had. It is worth every minute you have to hang on to every word spoken in this podcast.

Session 7: The Original Wounds of the Negative Cycle
Q: Does the intersection of gender and attachment styles change the way each's attachment styles approaches the negative cycle?
Yes, avoidant females can appear anxious, and anxious males may distance themselves from their emotions more than anxious females.
Session 6: Can a Relationship Ever Really Be 50-50?
Q: Why did I dive into Bethany's response to Brian's response instead of confronting her own role in the cycle?
The timing is crucial; focusing on understanding each other and creating safety in communication will lay the groundwork for addressing deeper issues later.
Session 6: Can a Relationship Ever Really Be 50-50?
Q: How are both partners supposed to navigate defensiveness and a raised tone?
Navigating defensiveness requires both partners to work on their roles, ensuring that one partner's vulnerability is met with understanding rather than reactivity.
