Dr. Becky Whetstone: Marriage Crisis, Childhood Trauma, and How Humility Heals Relationships
What if the fight in your marriage isn’t just about dishes, distance, or desire — but something deeper you haven’t yet faced?
In this revealing episode, therapist and author Dr. Becky Whetstone joins us to talk about what really causes a marriage crisis. Drawing from her decades of work — and her own lived experience through multiple divorces — Becky shares how unhealed childhood trauma, emotional dysregulation, and silence about unmet needs can slowly erode even the strongest relationships.
In this episode, we explore:
- Why ambivalence might be the biggest threat to a relationship
- How to break out of fight/flight/freeze and respond as your adult self
- How humility and accountability can open the door to real healing
