In this episode, we break down the pursuer–withdrawer dynamic and why partners so often misunderstand each other during conflict. We explore how our nervous systems, personal histories, and internal stories shape the meaning we make of our partner's behavior. By slowing down and getting curious, couples can interrupt the cycle and create more connection instead of escalating disconnection. Main Talking Points • Pursuer vs. withdrawer • Meaning-making stories • Nervous system responses • Projection in conflict • Windows of tolerance • Curiosity over certainty Check Out Relationship Academy Give Me Discounts!

Ever feel like the more you try to connect with your spouse, the more they pull away? Or maybe you're the one who needs space while your partner wants to talk everything through? This is the pursuer-distancer dance, and it's one of the most common patterns in marriage. In this episode, we'll explore how your Enneagram type influences which role you naturally fall into. Heart types (2, 3, 4) often become pursuers, seeking connection and reassurance. Head types (5, 6, 7) frequently take the distancer role, needing space to process. Body types (8, 9, 1) can go either way depending on their specific type and stress level. But here's the key: when you understand YOUR type's fear and your PARTNER's type's fear, you can break this exhausting cycle. We'll give you one simple practice to try this week that interrupts the pattern—and it starts with doing the opposite of what feels natural. Whether you're a Type 2 who pursues when anxious or a Type 5 who distances when overwhelmed, you'll learn how to create connection without the chase.

Have you ever lost something important? Your phone, your keys… or maybe something deeper—like your peace, your hope, your direction? Jesus tells stories, and in Luke 15, He tells three stories about things that are lost—a coin, a sheep, and a son. And in every story, someone is searching, and they don't give up. And that's what God does for us. You might feel far from God, unsure if faith is for you. But I'm here to tell you—God is for you. And He's searching for you. He meets you right where you are—with love, patience, and compassion. Will you decide to pursue God? He's already pursuing you. There are so many people in this world who feel forgotten—and just like you, they need to know that they're seen, that they are cared for. And the invitation of Jesus is Good News, and it's for you. Always remember, there is hope with God. "Or suppose a woman has ten silver coins and loses one. Won't she light a lamp and sweep the entire house and search carefully until she finds it?" Luke 15:8 radio.hopewithgod.com

Just days after Charlie Kirk's assassination, I sit with Texas Marriage and Family Therapist Jonathan Cogburn for what becomes a profound exploration of faith, courage, and finding hope in dark times. Jonathan shares his journey from being apolitical to openly identifying as conservative, inspired by brave voices who showed him there's nothing shameful about his beliefs.We dive into systems theory concepts like pursuer-distancer patterns that explain both family dynamics and our current cultural moment, discussing how healthy conflict is necessary to prevent accumulated resentment. Jonathan reveals his patient approach to online discourse, treating people as capable of the change he hopes to see, while I grapple with questions of when charity becomes naive.Our conversation weaves through theological perspectives on human worth, the intersection of therapy and faith, and how Christianity offers a practical framework for living with our flawed nature. We tackle the thorny question of whether consequences for those glorifying violence constitute "cancel culture" or a necessary reset of social norms. This episode captures the wrestling many of us are doing right now - how to maintain hope, express truth, and build bridges while protecting ourselves and those we love.Jonathan Cogburn is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in West Texas who currently works for an agency that provides a variety of support to school districts in his area  In that role he delivers state-required mental health training to districts, supports rural school counselors and homeless student liaisons, and co-leads a team of licensed professionals and school counselors that respond to crises and disasters.

What is a burnt out pursuer in a relationship?

When conflict shows up, most of us fall into one of two patterns: we're either a pursuer, wanting to talk it through until it's resolved, or a withdrawer, wanting to pull away, process alone, and move on. Both styles are natural, and both have strengths—but what happens when emotions get stuck inside, unresolved?In this episode, I introduce you to a powerful tool I call the Gentle Release Method—a guided visualization that allows you to let go of heavy emotions without needing to relive the pain or talk it out with anyone else. This practice is especially helpful for withdrawers who prefer to resolve conflict internally, but it can be healing for anyone who feels weighed down by lingering emotional pain.You'll learn:The difference between pursuers and withdrawers in conflict resolutionWhy emotions don't just “go away” when we push them asideHow unprocessed feelings can resurface and impact your health and relationshipsA step-by-step Gentle Release guided meditation to help you release stored pain and invite in peaceThis isn't an episode to multitask through—you'll want to pause, find a quiet spot, and follow along with the guided visualization. By the end, expect to feel lighter, calmer, and more free.✨ Bonus: Not sure if you're a pursuer or a withdrawer? I've created a simple quiz to help you discover your conflict style. Just visit shireebest.com, fill out the contact form with the word quiz in the subject line, and I'll send it right to your inbox!

We've talked about the cycle before and we're talking about it again. This time we explore what EFT calls Stage 2. Why? because after de-escalating conflict there's more to do to get closer with your partner! Join Laurie and George for this episode to understand how your moves and your partners moves impact one another and the deeper, unseen meanings they have. When we start to understand the good reasons we are missing each other there is opportunity to connect. Does your partner's criticism represent their hope for the relationship? Does their silence mean they are trying to keep the pressure low? Hear how we flip the script to help you keep it hot!! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Send us a text! (add your email to get a response)Feeling stuck in the same arguments with your partner? Does it feel like a cycle of one of you is chasing and the other is running away? In this episode, we talk about the problematic cycle behind recurring relationship conflicts through the lens of Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT).We break down the pursuer-withdrawer dynamic: that frustrating cycle where one person pushes for connection while the other pulls away. What looks like rejection or criticism on the surface actually masks deeper attachment needs and fears. You may be the one desperately trying to get your partner to engage, or one who shuts down when emotions run high.We argue that pursuers and withdrawers are actually fighting for the relationship in their own ways. Drawing from recent EFT research and our personal experiences, these patterns develop from childhood experiences and attachment styles. We also talk about important strategies for breaking this pursue-withdrawal cycle of disconnection. For example, we cover TEMPO framework that helps couples identify what triggers their defensive reactions and how to communicate underlying needs more effectively. We also discuss how co-regulation and vulnerability can break destructive cycles and create deeper connection. **If you are in a relationship with someone struggling with explosive emotions, you may be caught in these destructive cycles.

We all have different needs for closeness and distance, for intimacy and independence. You might have heard terms like anxious or avoidant attachment to describe this, and these tendencies can create challenges - particularly when people with different needs try to relate to each other. In this episode, Dr. Rick and Forrest explore why we're drawn to people who activate our insecurities, how anxiety manifests differently in "pursuers" versus "distancers," and what we can all do to work with our natural tendencies more skillfully. They discuss common relationship patterns, why pursuers usually receive more blame than distancers, schizoid personalities, and practical ways to break free from entrenched patterns.

After many years as a public-school teacher, the pandemic forces Kristi to step back and notice all the changes that have happened during her teaching career. Kristi also shares how this time gave her pause to consider her views about the culture around her and to evaluate her faith. A running partner and friend who had always encouraged Kristi to consider Biblical faith in Jesus texts Kristi an invitation to join a Bible reading plan leading up to Christmas. Kristi and later her boyfriend begin to read the Bible and to watch online church services. As a result, God transforms their relationship, their lives and their careers.Read Kristi's story, "Pursuer of My Soul," at https://sacredstoryministries.org/pursuer-of-my-soul/.What amazing stories are waiting to be shared in your women's church community or small group?

In this episode, Matt & Jenn answer a listener's question about shifting roles roles in the pursuer/responder dynamic. But first, a few important announcements:"Covenant Conversations" is the official name for the daily exercise formerly known as "Daily Check-in." Our thanks to Lamar Schrei for suggesting this!Registration for the Intimate Covenant Annual Marriage Retreat opens on Valentine's Day! www.intimatecovenant.com/retreatPlan to join us for the 7th annual Marriage Retreat in Houston, TX — September 19-21. Registration opens on Valentine's Day.A shift in the roles of pursuers and responders is common in all relationships. Sometimes these role changes signal something detrimental to the relationship. Often they simply represent typical patterns of growth or seasonal shifts in the relationship.In a healthy relationship, labeling who is the pursuer and who is the responder is far less important than making sure that there is frequent and healthy pursuit and response in all realms of intimacy.Please support these companies that support Intimate Covenant:Married Dance — https://marrieddance.com/?aff=29  Shop from this link and part of your purchase will support Intimate Covenant.  Coconu — http://www.coconu.com  Coupon Code: intimateconvenant for 15% off your purchase To send your comments, questions and suggestions, go to our website: www.intimatecovenant.com/podcast and click on the button: “Contact the Podcast” for an ANONYMOUS submission form.

As a couples counselor, I can tell you that one of the most pernicious and common relationship patterns that couples get stuck in is the pursuer-withdrawer dynamic. This happens when one partner handles conflict by approaching it head-on, and the other has a tendency to pull away, shut down, or withdraw.  The more the pursuer pursues, the more the withdrawer withdraws, and the pattern can become very intense and even a little scary. The pursuer may start getting emotionally elevated, raising their voice, or even physically following their partner from room to room. The withdrawer, meanwhile, feels totally overwhelmed and unable to engage the more their partner pursues them. Nothing gets resolved, and typically, neither partner is fully aware of their own role in perpetuating the dynamic. Luckily, this is one of those problems that is totally solvable with the help of a good marriage counselor. When you understand why this relationship pattern happens, what your role is in the dynamic, and what you can do instead, everything can shift. On today's episode of the podcast, we're exploring how to break the pursuer-distancer pattern and create a healthier relationship where you can both feel heard, understood, and most of all, emotionally safe.  I hope you'll join me!  xoxo,  Dr. Lisa Marie Bobby  P.S. — Listening to a podcast is a great starting point, but it's not enough to break a deeply entrenched pursuer-distancer pattern. If you would like to put a stop to this dynamic for good, schedule a free consultation with an expert couples counselor on my team. 

Do you think you know exactly what to do in a dangerous situation? If you have an action plan in advance, you can survive pretty much anything. When it's obvious that a strange is following you, and you notice a group of people in front of you, would you run to them screaming for help? And what would you do in a completely empty street? Not to freak you out or anything, but what if that creepy person approaches you and asks for something? What should you do in that case? #brightside Animation is created by Bright Side. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Music by Epidemic Sound https://www.epidemicsound.com Check our Bright Side podcast on Spotify and leave a positive review! https://open.spotify.com/show/0hUkPxD...

Dear Jack,I've recently taken up a new hobby that I'm passionate about, and it brings me a lot of joy and fulfillment.

In Luke 15, we see the story of the Prodigal son and how he looks for satisfaction in all the wrong places. If you're familiar with the story, you know he's welcomed home by a loving and gracious father that gives us a picture of how our heavenly father loves us. A detail that often gets overlooked is how the older brother responds to the Father's grace towards his wayward son. Listen in as Robert shows us how there's a lesson for all of us in the story of both brothers. We all have a Father who wants to meet us with grace and welcome us in, whether you've strayed and feel far off or are tempted to put your worth and identity in doing things the right way.

Ever felt stuck in a toxic cycle of pursuit and withdrawal with your partner, leaving you feeling unheard, unwanted, or disconnected? This stirring conversation with esteemed sex therapist and licensed marriage & family therapist, Dr Laurie Watson will offer a refreshing perspective and actionable advice to help you navigate these rough patches. We unpack this complex dynamic that many relationships fall prey to, and discuss how it impacts both emotional and sexual connection. We uncover how this pattern, often present in both romantic and sexual relationships, can lead to feelings of embarrassment, vulnerability, and shame. Our exploration into this cycle illuminates how it can affect women desiring more emotional connection while their partner tends to withdraw, leading to a disconnect that often seeps into their sexual relationship. We also shed light on the triggers that initiate this cycle and the profound impact it has on couples, making it difficult to identify and break.However, it's not all doom and gloom. Dr Laurie shares strategies to improve communication and connection, offering a beacon of hope. We look at how understanding our own survival mechanisms can affect our partners and potentially perpetuate the cycle. We also explore how to manage fears of sexual dysfunction and ways to foster flexibility in a sexual relationship. Finally, we emphasize the shared responsibility of both the pursuer and the withdrawer in breaking this cycle and fostering a healthier relationship. Trust us, you won't want to miss this enlightening conversation with Dr Laurie Watson. Let's dive in!Today's Guest: Dr. Laurie WatsonLaurie Watson, Phd, MA, LMFT, LCMHC, AASECT Certified Sex Therapist & Supervisor in Training, Co-Host of FOREPLAY Radio Couples & Sex Therapy Podcast, LMFT, Author, Director of Awakenings Counseling, Training in EFT - Emotionally Focused Therapy (Externship and Core Skills; Completing Supervision).She's the co-host together with global leader in couple's therapy, George Faller, LMFT, of the popular podcast – FOREPLAY RADIO – Couples and Sex Therapy which is ranked in the top 10 sexuality podcasts in Sexuality. Laurie says, "Sex is one of the greatest adventures in a relationship. It makes us feel alive. It connects our minds, bodies and hearts. In fact, sexual and emotional intimacy are intertwined; we need both to be happy. With too little eroticism - our relationship is dull and with too little emotional connection - sex is mechanical. Most of us don't know how to find this balance. And talking about our sexual needs is so risky. We might cause a conflict; we might be judged; we might not even know what our needs are.

This week I'm talking to Peter Panagore about his book 'Heaven Is Beautiful: How Dying Taught Me That Death Is Just the Beginning'.When Peter Baldwin Panagore died on the side of a mountain, his life was forever changed. Decades later, the intense spiritual journey continues, with a story that combines the thrills of a wilderness adventure with the awe-inspiring elements of a paranormal novel.In March of 1980, college senior Peter Panagore went ice climbing on the world-famous Lower Weeping Wall, along the Ice Fields Parkway in Alberta, Canada. His climbing partner was an experienced ice climber, but Panagore was a novice. On their descent, they became trapped on the side of the mountain. As the sun set, he was overcome by exhaustion and hypothermia. He died on the side of that mountain. And in those minutes on the other side, he experienced hell, forgiveness, and unconditional love. Heaven was beautiful.Panagore's death experience changed his life and resulted in an intense spiritual journey that has continued for decades. It impelled him to pursue a master's degree at Yale Divinity School, focusing on systematic theology and Christian mysticism. His educational background coupled with 30 years of meditative practice and 20 years of professional work with the dying and grieving has given him unique insight, language, and perspective on heaven, God, death, life, love, beauty, and hope.BioGlobal Audible Best-Selling Author of Heaven Is Beautiful: How Dying Taught Me That Death Is Just The Beginning and Maine Best-Selling Author of Two Minutes for God: Quick Fixes for the Spirit Rev. Peter Baldwin Panagore, MDiv. is an entrepreneur and ordained pastor. For fifteen years (2003-2018), he broadcasted a daily two-minute spot on two NBC TV stations with Daily Devotions (brand) just before the morning's weather. Storytelling, communicator, public speaker, pastor, and storyteller, Peter had thirty million views annually on TV (Nielsen Ratings) and uncounted listeners on FM and AM across Maine and New Hampshire plus around the nation.Peter graduated from Yale University, where he completed his MDiv, focusing on the practices and writings in the classics of western mysticism.A two-time Near-Death Experiencer, Peter, first died in 1980 of hypothermia while ice climbing in Banff Provincial Park in Canada, and then again of a heart attack in 2015, just as Hampton Roads, HarperCollins Canada, Guidepost's, Jaffa Kiado, Audible, Brilliance Audio, Kindle, Audible, and Nook, released Heaven Is Beautiful globally. In 2020, Ananta Productions with Andrea Stone and Avenue Pictures with Cary Brokaw optioned Heaven Is Beautiful for a feature film.Peter's Maine Best Seller, Two Minutes for God: Quick Fixes for the Spirit, published with Simon & Schuster, is a daily inspirational story drawn from among the seventeen hundred he wrote and broadcast each day. Peter's at work on his third book with the working title, Knowing God.From 1990-2003, Peter published publishing one-hundred and fifty sermons and dozens of prayers as a staff writer for Homiletics (now Homiletics.Online), a national leading worship preparation journal for progressive clergy.Peter published his first story, Former Enemies, once in The NYTs #1 Best Seller, Chicken Soup for the Veteran's Soul: Stories to Stir the Pride and Honor the Courage of Our Veterans, and again in Stories from a Soldier's Heart: For the Patriotic Soul (over 5 million copies in print) by Waterbrook Multnomah Publishers. He wrote blogged on Huffington Post's Blogspot, by invitation, for a decade.Amazon Prime released the Life to Afterlife: Death and Back 2 featuring Peter in this episode. Death and Back 2 Fox and Friends, Coast to Coast AM, Canada's The Drew Marshall Show, featured Peter, and recently he appeared on Buddha at the Gas Pump and Shaman Oaks. He speaks, talks, gets interviewed, and teaches worldwide, in person, live-streamed, on stages, in pulpits, on podcasts, and YouTube by the dozens plus TV, FM, and AM frequently. His YouTube channel has had one million views. In 2020, The International Association of Near-Death Studies invited Peter as their Conference Plenary Speaker.
