You have been rehearsing a conversation for weeks. Maybe months. Maybe years.

And every time the moment comes, you talk yourself out of it.

Not because you do not care. Because you care too much.

In Episode 78, Dr. Dar Hawks names what conversational avoidance in

relationships actually looks like, why it develops even in loving marriages,

and what it is quietly costing you. You will understand the three needs

underneath it, why finding better words has not fixed it, and what

actually creates change.

IN THIS EPISODE:

• Why you keep rehearsing the conversation but never having it

• The three needs underneath every avoided conversation

• Why 'finding the right words' keeps you stuck

• A client story about what silence was really costing her marriage

• What actually shifts the pattern; and where it begins
