If you're in the middle of nervous system healing, you've probably wondered how to get your partner to actually understand what you're going through — and what real support looks like when nothing they do seems to help. In this episode, Maggie sits down with her husband Ryan, who supported her through her darkest years of chronic anxiety, physical symptoms, a psychiatric hospitalization, and a full nervous system breakdown. They talk honestly about what made things worse, what actually helped, and what Maggie finally had to ask Ryan to do differently.
