The end of the year can make even strong relationships feel tender, tense, or disconnected. In this episode, Rachel explains why December amplifies whatever is already under the surface — not because anything is wrong, but because your nervous system is tired, overloaded, and scanning for closure. She breaks down how “emotional audits” form, why pressure kills connection, and what real intimacy looks like when capacity is low. You’ll also learn a simple one-sentence “micro-bridge” to help you feel more connected heading into the new year. What We CoverWhy the holidays amplify longing, tension, and unfinished repairsHow “emotional audits” quietly reshape DecemberWhy capacity drops long before love doesHow misfires and misreads intensify end-of-year disconnectionThe difference between engineered intimacy and grounded connectionA one-sentence micro-bridge for real closeness in the new yearResourcesThe Attachment RevolutionFree Break the Cycle Course DownloadMeaningful Journey Counseling (WA Residents only)
