There's a moment in my conversation with Melanie where she describes watching her client, a genuinely good-hearted man, trying to explain away his partner's explosive rage for the third time that week.

281: How do I say, ‘I need you to have more support outside of just me?’ | Dear Men

I just did an episode on Dear Men with Melanie Curtin about nervous system regulation in relationships.
