In this episode of Everyday Therapy, Brett Cushing, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, and Dr. Karin Ryan, Licensed Psychologist, explore relationship anxiety—what it is, how it shows up, and when it becomes more concerning. With compassion and clarity, this conversation reframes anxiety not as a sign that something is “wrong,” but as an invitation to deepen self-awareness, strengthen emotional boundaries, and build healthier attachment.Tune in to Discover:What relationship anxiety is and why it’s so commonSigns of relationship anxiety, including reassurance-seeking and overanalyzingHow fear of abandonment and conflict fuels anxiety in relationshipsThe push–pull cycle of closeness and distancingOver-functioning, people-pleasing, and emotional boundary challengesThe difference between relationship anxiety and relationship OCDResourcesSagent Behavioral Health Therapy ServicesSagent Behavioral Health Substance Use Disorder TreatmentContact the podcast: [email protected] & ReviewIf you found this episode helpful, please consider subscribing to Everyday Therapy and leaving us a review.
