Why do so many intelligent, capable people stay trapped in
relationships that continue to hurt them?
In this episode of Notes From the Edge,
Lisa Lacy sits down with Steve Barton to explore trauma bonds
through the often-overlooked male perspective. Together, they
unpack how childhood conditioning, identity, fear, shame, and the
need to earn love can keep people locked in unhealthy
relationship patterns long after they know they need to leave.
Steve introduces his Game of
Ten framework, explaining how awareness becomes
entangled with fear, self-doubt, guilt, and shame, and how
healing begins not by finding a different relationship, but by
returning to ourselves. The conversation expands beyond romantic
relationships into leadership, personal growth, recovery, and the
stories we tell ourselves to survive.
If you’ve ever asked yourself:
• Why is it so hard to leave?
• Why do I keep repeating the same patterns?
• What did I learn about love that no longer serves me?
• What did I perform in order to survive?
…this conversation is for you.
