Nikki Harmon: "How to Feel Less Alone in Your Marriage: Why You've Drifted Apart + Ways to Come Back Together"

Do you feel lonely in your marriage? Marriage and family therapist, Nikki Harmon, explains how loneliness typically creeps into a partnership not through one big event, but through "a thousand little misses" over time: the bids for connection you were too distracted to notice, the resentment that simmers when you're doing the dishes and he's resting, the arguments about the dishwasher that were never really about the dishwasher. She reframes what most couples think is a communication problem as something deeper—an emotional safety problem—and reveals why the way you try to fix disconnection is often the very thing keeping you stuck. The hopeful truth? It only takes one person to begin to shift a pattern. With a simple three-part framework, this session gives you a real starting place if you've ever thought "I'm carrying everything, including this marriage."
