In this episode, Bill and Marty welcome psychologist, author, and relationship coach Susan Campbell. Susan guides Bill through a live coaching process focused on resistance to self-expression, using body awareness, breath, and “witness” perspective to work with fear, withdrawal, and anger triggered by a recent defensive reaction in a partnership context. Bill connects the present trigger to an earlier marriage experience and to childhood abuse, naming themes of feeling unsafe, misunderstood, and unfairly blamed, and practices offering compassion and validation to his younger self.

About Susan Campbell:

Psychologist Susan Campbell has worked as a corporate trainer and relationship coach for 60 years. A former professor at the University of Massachusetts, and frequent guest lecturer at Harvard, Stanford, and UCLA, she is author of twelve books on the topic of relationships and human communication, including her groundbreaking book, The Couples Journey: Intimacy as a Path To Wholeness, published in 1980--the first popular book that introduced mainstream audiences to the idea of relationship as spiritual journey. She has been featured on such national TV shows as, CNN’s News Night, Good Morning America, and The Dr. Dean Edel Show.

In this episode, Bill and Marty talk through Marty’s conflict about wanting his writing to be read while not wanting to promote it, including anger and guilt triggered by manipulative publishing pitches that ask for money. Using Internal Family Systems, Bill helps Marty identify a tender, younger part carrying pain and beliefs like “I’m worthless,” along with a stoic protector focused on survival and not appearing weak. Marty connects with the younger part with compassion, the protector relaxes, and they end by reframing the path forward as finding a way to share his work that aligns with his message about relationship and connection.
