🎧 Episode 51: The 3 R's of Relationships: Part 2 with Ashley Marie Eckstein
📝 Episode Summary:
We’re back with Ashley Marie Eckstein, LMFT Associate here at MLC, to continue this powerful discussion on the tried-and-true practices you can incorporate into your relationship today to grow closer in genuine connection and vulnerability.
💬 Episode Notes:
Real transformation in relationships happens when partners are willing to take emotional risks and do the hard work.
Emotional safety and growth are built through courage and consistency, not perfection.
As mammals, humans are biologically hardwired for attachment — connection is a core need, not a weakness.
Vulnerability is the catalyst for meaningful change and deeper intimacy.
When both partners commit to openness, empathy, and repair, lasting relational shifts occur.
Emotional attunement strengthens trust and fosters long-term connection.
Growth happens at the edge of discomfort — learning to stay present through it builds relational resilience.
