In this episode: David and I explore the art of repair in intimate partnerships. We walk you through setting up micro containers for macro moments of conflict so that you can show your nervous system that conflict actually gets to be regenerative.

We explore the fear based roots of anxious and avoidant dynamics, and how to stretch in your capacity for closeness and healthy dependence for a more secure base.

David shares his wisdom on the space between two people and how to clean up “garbage” on your side of the street so that you can see and be seen by your partner.

Favorite Quotes from the Podcast
“Avoidant people don't believe that they can find love. Or they're unsure, so what they do is they run away from it. But anxious people take on the battle. They keep trying. When they find someone they think they are the one, they often become quite obsessed because they are afraid to be alone.” - David Chambers

"Intimacy is about closeness. It's being seen at really deep levels. It's allowing someone to really see the deepest parts of your soul and who you are beyond the garbage, beyond the body.”
- David Chambers
