Healthy relationships require trust, intimacy, effective communication, and understanding. However, if you suffer from chronic anxiety you may have trouble dealing with everyday conflicts and tensions that can arise in relationships. In this podcast with Laura Reagan, Carolyn talks about the chasm that often happens when one partner suffers from anxiety and doesn’t feel understood by their partner. Specifically, she describes the Appeal, Retreat and Withdrawal cycle that often occurs in these relationships. She offers some specific interventions to help couples to break the “lost in translation” dynamic that can injure these relationships.
