#115: Spring Loaded Dynamic
In this episode, Jason and I discuss the spring-loaded dynamic that happens in relationships post-betrayal. What we are referring to when we say "spring-loaded" is the dynamic between closeness and distance and how vulnerability, intimacy, and grief impact women requiring closeness or distance in order to feel safe.
My hope is that it explains some of what both women and men feel in this process (even if Jason thinks this applies more to women!) and the importance of naming this dynamic when it happens in order to make sense of it and ultimately move through it.
I’ll admit, I’m a bit embarrassed about a couple of things as I listen to this one. At the risk of completely sounding like I don’t have a brain, I’m choosing to publish it. Hopefully, you can just laugh with me as we learn from Jason. The end.
