What if the fight in your marriage isn’t just about dishes, distance, or desire — but something deeper you haven’t yet faced?

In this revealing episode, therapist and author Dr. Becky Whetstone joins us to talk about what really causes a marriage crisis. Drawing from her decades of work — and her own lived experience through multiple divorces — Becky shares how unhealed childhood trauma, emotional dysregulation, and silence about unmet needs can slowly erode even the strongest relationships.

Dr. Becky's new book I (Think) I Want Out: What to Do When One of You Wants to End Your Marriage, is available now at major booksellers, including Amazon.ca and Amazon.com, Indigo (in Canada), Barnes & Noble and more.

In this episode, we explore:

• Why ambivalence might be the biggest threat to a relationship
• How to break out of fight/flight/freeze and respond as your adult self
• How humility and accountability can open the door to real healing
