  Unhealed Trauma: The Real Reason Relationships Fail

  May 23, 202613 minS0

  <p>In this episode, we get raw and real about the silent killer in most relationships — unhealed trauma. From amygdala hijacks and communication breakdowns to generational demons and father wounds, we unpack why so many couples can't hear each other even when they love each other deeply. We explore how individual healing is the foundation of a healthy relationship, why most marital problems are actually single-person issues, and how substances, porn, and avoidance are just band-aids masking deeper wounds. If you want real love, it starts with real healing.</p><p><br></p><p>Host Jessica Laine-MacDonald:</p><p>https://ww...
