In this thought-provoking episode, J and Petra dive deep into the topic of irrevocable damage in relationships—what it looks like, how it manifests, and why some wounds feel impossible to heal. They explore the different types of damage that can leave lasting scars, from betrayal and broken trust to emotional neglect and repeated patterns of harm. Most importantly, they unpack how couples can begin the difficult journey of repair when it seems all hope is lost—and how to recognize and avoid the behaviors that lead to such damage in the first place. Whether you’re in the middle of rebuilding or want to safeguard your relationship for the future, this episode offers powerful insights and practical tools for moving forward with honesty, empathy, and accountability.
