There’s one habit I see ruin dating and long-term relationships over and over again. Most people don’t even know they’re doing it. In this episode, I’m sharing how emotional avoidance and silence in relationships can quietly create distance, block connection, and leave people wondering what went wrong. If you’ve ever held back what you really feel to avoid conflict or keep the peace, this episode is for you. I’ll walk through real examples from my work as a therapist and coach, and offer practical relationship advice to help you stop self-sabotaging and start creating more honest, healthy connection.
