Synopsis
Johnny is done being controlled.
His faith shift made him realize just how much every decision he ever made was shaped by others — and he's not interested in that anymore. In his newfound freedom, he's been experimenting with substances in a way that's unsettling for June.
When she says something about his choices, he responds like a rebellious adolescent.
Staying quiet feels easier, of course, but Johnny's choices are having a real impact on her, and she's not sure where her responsibility ends and his begins.
In this preview episode of Room for Two, Dr. Finlayson-Fife works with Johnny and June around the parent/child dynamic that is stifling the intimacy in their relationship.
This preview episode will resonate with listeners who:
- Are in a mixed-faith or post-faith-shift marriage
- Are navigating a partner's substance use
- Feel like their spouse's parent
- Crave more intimacy and connection
