Thriving in Relationships: How to Maintain Healthy Connections
Manage episode 485484090 series 3398910
Ever feel like relationships are meant to feel safe, but somehow they always feel exhausting? You’re not alone... and you’re not broken.
In this soulful episode of The Happya Life Podcast, Clare Deacon unpacks why relationships often leave us feeling drained, even when we deeply care, and how to shift from surviving connection to thriving within it.
Drawing from trauma-informed psychology, attachment theory, and nervous system wisdom, Clare explores:
✨ Why many of us are wired to overgive and under-receive
✨ The connection between childhood roles and adult relationship patterns
✨ What co-regulation is and why your nervous system longs for it
✨ How to build healthy, reciprocal relationships without betraying yourself
✨ Scripts and strategies for navigating discomfort, honesty, and repair
This isn’t about fixing people. It’s about honouring your needs, creating safe containers for connection, and learning to trust that you don’t have to shrink to be loved.
Whether you're navigating family dynamics, friendships, or romantic relationships, this episode will help you stop managing and start relating, from a place of clarity, safety, and self-trust.
🔁 You don’t have to earn love by disappearing into someone else’s needs.
