87. Growing Yourself Back Up: Understanding Emotional Regression with author John Lee

In this powerful and eye-opening conversation, Marnie sits down
with renowned author and therapist John Lee,
whose classic book Growing Yourself Back Up has helped thousands
understand the profound impact of emotional
regression on adult relationships. 


Together, we explore what emotional regression is and how it
silently shapes our reactions, the difference between responding
as an empowered adult vs. a wounded child, and how identifying
your own triggers and patterns of regression can create healthier
relationships.


We introduce practical tools for recognizing when you’ve been
“emotionally hijacked” and how to avoid relational ruptures in
those moments. Perhaps most important, we discuss the importance
of developing the necessary awareness and compassion that can
break cycles of blame, withdrawal, fighting, and relational
despair. 


If you’ve ever wondered why certain moments with your partner (or
any loved ones) trigger outsize reactions or why
the wounds of betrayal take over in the heat of conflict - this
conversation is for you.


Learning how to spot and shift emotional regression is
one of the most empowering skills we can develop—for ourselves
and our relationships.
