Why Healing Changes Your Relationships
Show notes
Many people believe healing will automatically improve every relationship. In reality, healing often changes the way we connect with others.
In this episode, Heather and Kent McKean explore why subconscious relationship patterns begin to shift as we grow, why some people embrace those changes while others resist them, and how honesty, curiosity, and emotional maturity create healthier relationships over time. If your healing journey has changed the people around you, this conversation will help you understand why.
