“I’m Doing the Work—Why Isn’t She?” Navigating Disconnection in Recovery
Manage episode 486006774 series 2934535
In this deep-dive April Mailbag episode, the hosts tackle a heartfelt email from a listener in recovery who’s doing everything “right”—meetings, therapy, step work—but still feels shut out by his partner. Why isn’t she engaging? Is it unresolved trauma, burnout, or a deeper disconnection? The team explores common pitfalls in couples healing after betrayal, the power of empathy, the danger of resentment, and the importance of relational repair—even when the door feels closed. If you're in recovery and feeling stuck, this episode offers validation, insight, and a challenge to lean in harder—with humility and heart.
