Cupid Needs Therapy Too: Communication, Trust, and Real Love in Relationships

A Valentine’s Day conversation about relationships, communication, trust, emotional connection, and real love. Valentine’s Day often brings pressure, expectations, and the idea that love should look effortless. But real relationships are rarely that simple. In this episode, we explore what actually helps relationships last, especially when communication breaks down, emotions run high, or old patterns keep repeating. This conversation focuses on emotional connection, healthy communication, trust, and the everyday work of maintaining meaningful relationships. Bryan is joined by Stephen Dearborn, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and owner of Vibrant Journeys Counseling. Stephen brings a trauma-informed, “come as you are” approach to relationship counseling, helping individuals and couples better understand themselves, their partners, and the patterns that shape connection. Together, they discuss: Common relationship myths that create unnecessary pressure Why couples get stuck in the same arguments and how to break the cycle How unresolved trauma shows up in relationships What healthy communication looks like when emotions are intense Rebuilding trust after conflict, distance, or disconnection A practical relationship principle from the work of John Gottman and Julie Gottman that couples can apply right away This episode is about love beyond perfection. It is about patience, repair, and choosing connection over distance, even when it feels uncomfortable. Whether you are in a long-term relationship, navigating challenges with a partner, or reflecting on your own emotional patterns, this conversation offers grounded insight and practical tools for building healthier, more honest relationships. -------------------- 🎧 The Acceptance Project Podcast Reflections on acceptance, growth, and being human. 🔔 Subscribe for new weekly episodes - every Tuesday ⭐ If you liked this episode, please consider following the show or leaving a rating.
