Scenario

When couples' coping strategies become mutual limitations

My wife and I both struggle with social anxiety and we've developed this system where we take turns being the 'social one' at events but it's starting to feel performative and exhausting and I think we're enabling each other's avoidance rather than actually growing.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Two people have created a collaborative adaptation that initially felt supportive but may now be preventing the individual growth that could strengthen their partnership.
