They talk about “future faking,” control disguised as transparency, and early boundary tests that often get dismissed as harmless immaturity.  Kerry also references Jennie Young and her book,  Burn the Haystack: Decode Dating and dating app red flags that too many people overlook.

Together, they unpack why survivors of disordered relationships assume everything is their fault, why some partners actively prefer chaos, and how shame (especially shame tied to perceived status loss) fuels denial, projection, and entitlement.

They draw a clear line between therapy and coaching, explaining the licensing constraints that complicate online therapy. But they land on something refreshingly simple: two markers that cut through the fog — respect and reciprocity. If you’re doing all the apologizing and all the emotional labor, it’s not a “communication” issue.

Drawing from research by Kelly Baez, PhD, she explains why joy can trigger anxiety: familiar suffering feels predictable, vulnerability feels dangerous, survivor’s guilt lingers, and unresolved trauma keeps the nervous system on alert. Joanne walks through practical strategies — moments of joy, self-compassion, gradual exposure, reframing beliefs, and support groups — while also reading AI-generated notes on PTSD, anhedonia, and brain reward systems.

The conversation expands into frustration with outdated psychological models and newer research suggesting PTSD affects deeper brain regions beyond just the amygdala and hippocampus. Tim jumps in with thoughtful questions about DSM updates and even raises a difficult ethical question: can PTSD alone justify involuntary hospitalization?
