As part of Mental Health Awareness Month, this episode explores one of the most destabilizing relationship dynamics: when a partner shuts down during conflict. Jillian coaches a listener through the emotional toll of being avoided and unpacks how this behavior impacts your mental health, sense of safety, and self-worth. With guidance on emotional regulation, accountability, and what it really takes to break unhealthy cycles, this conversation is a powerful reminder that protecting your peace starts from within.
