Why do men and women consistently fall short in romantic relationships? Is it communication? Emotional baggage? Could it be that we are simply wired in entirely different ways? In this episode, we sit down with psychotherapist and couples therapist Shaun Mazzocca to dig into the chaos of modern relationships. From emotional avoidance to the infamous “he just shut down” moment, we’re unpacking the real issues behind today’s dating disasters—and what actually works to build connection.
Shaun shares his insights from years of working with couples in challenging situations, including why many people feel misunderstood, why vulnerability is more attractive than people realize, and how healing truly begins when we cease attempting to win arguments. This is one of those conversations that might just save your next relationship (or at least help you ghost less).
