Claire was a trained counsellor, yet insight alone could not stop the cycle damaging their marriage. With trust disappearing and separation approaching, she and Richard uncovered the protective patterns beneath their power struggle and began rebuilding as a team again.

EMOTIONAL DISTANCE

James believed working hard was how he loved his family, but years of absence had taught Emma not to rely on him. When he finally prioritised their marriage, he discovered why coming home earlier alone could not restore their connection.
