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.

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?

Join us as we uncover the dynamic Pursuer-Withdrawer pattern in relationships with our special guest Courtney Carroll, a licensed marriage and family therapist specializing in relationships and sex therapy. Explore how this pattern shapes interactions, gaining insights for healthier connections.

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. The issue is that some friends and family members don't seem to understand or appreciate my newfound interest. They make subtle comments or express disapproval, which leaves me feeling discouraged.I want to pursue my passion without feeling judged or misunderstood. How can I communicate the importance of this hobby to me, and perhaps help others see it in a more positive light?Gratefully,Passionate PursuerPodcast Website:https://atozenglishpodcast.com/a-to-z-dear-jack-11-passionate-pursuer/Social Media:Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/671098974684413/Tik Tok:@atozenglish1Instagram:@atozenglish22Twitter:@atozenglish22A to Z Facebook Page:https://www.facebook.com/theatozenglishpodcastCheck out our You Tube Channel:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCds7JR-5dbarBfas4Ve4h8ADonate to the show: https://app.redcircle.com/shows/9472af5c-8580-45e1-b0dd-ff211db08a90/donationsRobin and Jack started a new You Tube channel called English Word Master.

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. Join us, as two expert therapists have a frank, fun and informative conversation to help you keep it hot!

Welcome to Sx in Humans, podcast, Episode 6, Embracing the Changing Feminine, with Sara Slays (@slays.sara).  Sara is a business consultant in marketing, a millennial queer girl living in Los Angeles. She actively participates in festival culture such as Burning Man, her virgin voyage this year,  and is fascinated by the changing landscape of personal identity, and its relationship to culture.  In this conversation, Sara Slayton discusses the changing definitions of masculinity and femininity and the importance of understanding personal identity. She emphasizes that femininity and masculinity are not mapped to biological sex and that labels can be limiting. Sara shares her journey to self-confidence and the challenges of navigating societal expectations. She also discusses the need for acceptance and understanding in a culture that often fixates on labels. The conversation explores the impact of changing sexual activity trends and the potential for reversible vasectomies to shift gender dynamics. Takeaways Femininity and masculinity are not determined by biological sex and can vary across cultures and individuals. Labels can be helpful for self-identification and finding like-minded individuals, but fixating on labels can be limiting and prevent understanding. Acceptance and understanding of others, even if we don't fully comprehend their identity, is crucial for creating a more inclusive society. Personal identity is a journey, and it's important to embrace fluidity and exploration. Societal expectations around gender, relationships, and parenthood are evolving, and it's important to challenge traditional norms.

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.

In “Christ the Pursuer”, I look at the way Christ pursued us, like a husband pursues his bride. The Lord set the ultimate example of pursuit, in His relentless push to save us from our sins and make us his Holy Bride. On a practical note, Christ set an example for young men today who …

Part 2! Being able to know who you are and what you need is important. Our emotional needs can feel confusing sometimes because we can function without them being met but we do function in less optimal ways.

"Why He Withdraws" is a follow-up to the last Figs & Teale episode, "Pursuer Problems," and it's Figs' turn for an "affect assembly" with Teale's help.After just a bit of stalling, Figs describes a recent negative judgment of Teale after she didn't text him when she was out with her friends like he asked her to and then went out paddling the next morning before he woke up.He describes these judgments as "inconsiderate," and then—hinting at the deeper vulnerability—"hypocritical" and "unreasonable."Figs, in feeling not considered by Teale (a more classically Pursuer sensitivity) actually started to access all the times he felt judged as the inconsiderate one (his deeper Withdrawer "not enough" sensitivity).He then, in touch with those feelings of not being good enough, tried to be "good" by not outwardly expressing those negative judgments of Teale—which Figs now knows was not actually the "right" thing to do.While walking through Figs' negative judgments and feeling not good enough, Teale demonstrates her acceptance and love of Figs—which is hard for Figs, who is struggling to let it in, and who feels like it's unacceptable not to be able to.In voicing that, however, Figs can see that Teale is also able to hold that "unacceptable" part of Figs, and he is able to experience relief and connection.

We are joined by Isabel Hagen who is a classically trained viola player turned successful stand-up comedian. We discuss the difference between being polite vs. being nice, how talking smack is everyone's favorite pastime. Hinged and unhinged dating apps. Star crossed lovers: finance bros and weirdo art girls. Nina reminisces about almost having a romantic escapade with Fred Durst. Isabel regales us on what it was like growing up in downtown Manhattan. How do you break the ice and make the first move as a woman? And once again, Nina has spy energy.

In "Pursuer Problems" Figs asks Teale to model moving from a negative "story of other" (blaming and criticizing your partner) to a self-compassionate "story of self" from the perspective of a "Pursuer" in the relationship. As a Pursuer, Teale is usually more sensitive to feelings of being left alone, abandoned, and not prioritized by her partner. In couples therapy sessions, the Pursuer partner tends to have a harder time letting go of the negative view of their partner because their "pursuit" of closeness is seen as a sign of love, while a Withdrawer's distance is attributed to apathy. But, as Figs and Teale discuss, recognizing that each partner co-creates a negative system together is an essential part of relationship repair.Teale recognizes this, but to understand it deeply she must start with herself—move from blaming Figs to examining which "Flavor of love" she is not getting and how it hurts. Then, she can share that vulnerable story with Figs and together they can build on it to create a shared narrative which includes Figs' experiences.Relationship Experts Walk The Talk is a deep dive into the struggles, cycles, and joys of relationship from couple and counselors Figs and Teale.
