Why We Shut Down in Love: Inner Child Wounds, ChatGPT Therapy, and Repairing Ruptures

This one's raw. A real-time relationship rupture, repair, and reflection.

Ever felt yourself shut down after a tense moment with your partner, only to realize it wasn’t really about the moment at all?

In this episode, I share a personal story of conflict, emotional shutdown, and repair. I walk you through how childhood wounds still echo in adult relationships and what it truly takes to navigate those moments with courage and connection.

You’ll hear:

  • The childhood belief I uncovered that still affects how I receive feedback

  • What emotional distancing looks like in real time and how to come back from it

  • My thoughts on AI therapy and why human connection still matters

If you’ve ever struggled to take feedback, felt “icy” in a relationship, or wondered why the little things hurt so much, this one’s for you.
