In this episode, I’m joined by Fergus Cronin — an emotionally focused couples therapist who’s been working with Irish couples for over a decade, right at the heart of intimacy, conflict, and repair.

Together, we go deep into what really happens when relationships break down — not at the level of communication skills, but at the level of attachment, shame, and the body.

This episode covers:

  • Why conflict is a necessary part of relationship — and how rupture & repair actually deepen love

  • The pursue–withdraw cycle and how couples unknowingly trap each other

  • How childhood attachment wounds hijack adult relationships

  • Why emotional safety, not independence, is the foundation of intimacy
