On Episode 52 Lauren and Trey discuss the ways in which they are building bridges, growing their support teams, and allowing themselves to be witnessed.

They ponder why people raised male tend to avoid therapeutic interventions and Lauren challenges Trey on the level of success he feels like he has attained. Do the wounds of our parents affect the way we interact with our lovers? Trey will be figuring that out soon!

Lauren dissects the concept of “felt safety” and how as she and Trey grow closer they have the potential to wound one another more and more deeply. Recently, she has seen first hand how much her “ugly” triggers Trey’s childhood coping mechanisms.

At minute 19:20 Lauren shares an analogy about how she feels she can see the brand new bridge they are building to one another while they traverse a temporary bridge they've built over these past few weeks.

You will not want to miss the vasectomy update at minute 23:30! Trey tells the tale of bringing a "fresh" semen sample to the urologist and the hilarity that unfolded!

They close out this episode with a conversation about agency of choice and the power of celebrating the little wins every day. By inviting others into their lives to speak loving truth these two are slowly building a stronger bridge back to one another.
