#3: Repair and Reconnection - What It Really Takes

Episode 3: Repair & Reconnection — What It Really Takes Have you ever walked away from a conversation with your mom or daughter thinking, “I don’t know if we can ever come back from this”? That ache in your chest, that pit in your stomach—it’s real. But it doesn’t mean the story is over. In this episode of Closer to You, we’re exploring: Why repair feels so hard, especially when there’s been silence or repeated hurt. How your nervous system remembers pain and braces for it—even before the words are spoken. Why reconnection doesn’t require perfection, just presence and softness. You’ll also hear a powerful reminder from Dr. Bruce Perry: “We are hurt in relationships, and we heal in relationships.” If you’ve ever wondered, “Is it too late for us?” this conversation will show you that repair is possible—one safe, gentle step at a time. ✨ Plus, I’ll guide you through journal prompts to help you imagine what rebuilding trust could look like in your relationship.
