Feeling off in your family relationships but can’t quite name why? In this therapy-informed episode, discover why emotionally attuned people often feel the most destabilized by quiet family disconnection—and what to do about it. You’ll learn how over-functioning in the face of emotional distance leads to internal chaos, and how to redefine closeness in a way that protects your peace. If you’re tired of walking away from family time feeling resentful, unseen, or like it’s your job to fix what’s broken, this episode offers a path back to clarity, self-respect, and calm.

Rebecca Hunter, MSW helps empathic high-achievers (like you) learn practical skills to quiet your racing mind, overcome self-doubt, and actually be present in your life.
