LEANING INTO THE FIRE: couples therapy conversation is a podcast about the real work of couples therapy—what actually happens in the room when relationships are struggling and people are trying to change. Hosted by Ed Peterson, LCSW and EFT Supervisor, the show explores the emotional patterns that keep couples stuck and the moments that help them find each other again. Through thoughtful conversations about attachment, conflict, vulnerability, and repair, the podcast offers a window into how meaningful change actually happens in relationships. Each episode reflects on the courage it takes to face hard conversations rather than avoid them. Drawing from Emotionally Focused Therapy, attachment science, and years of clinical experience, the podcast explores how couples move from blame and distance toward understanding, safety, and deeper connection. Episodes may include reflections on real therapy dynamics, discussions with other therapists, and practical insights that help people understand the emotional cycles that shape their relationships. LEANING INTO THE FIRE: couples therapy conversation: is for therapists, couples, and anyone curious about the deeper emotional forces that drive love, conflict, and reconciliation. Rather than offering quick tips or surface-level advice, the podcast focuses on the deeper work of emotional healing—helping people understand their own fears, longings, and attachment needs so they can build stronger, more secure relationships.
