Why Your "Communication Problems" Aren't What You Think • Curley's Story Part 6 EP. 74

In Part 6 of our series, Josh and Curley dive deep into the emotional undercurrents of relationships; from unmet expectations and resentment to the unique pressures of military life.

Most couples go to therapy citing “communication problems,” but trauma therapist Curley Lawson reveals that communication is rarely the actual root of the issue.

In this episode, we discuss:

• The Communication Myth: Why “talking more” isn’t always the solution and what lies beneath the surface.

• Individual vs. Couples Therapy: Why you might not be ready for couples counseling yet.

• Relationship Maintenance: The “Live Orchid” analogy and why 1 hour a week can save your marriage.

• The Military Burden: How deployments and cultural messages like “work first, family second” impact veteran foundations.

• Navigating Resentment: How to stop the “two against one” dynamic in therapy and feel truly heard.
