Silence in a relationship can look like peace from the outside, but narrative therapy teaches us to hear the deeper story beneath it. This post explores the journey of the burnt-out pursuer—the partner who once reached for closeness but is now too exhausted to keep trying. If you recognize yourself in this quiet turning point, you’re not alone, and support is within reach.

Every relationship has a story, but sometimes conflict begins writing its own script—one partners never intended. This blog explores the pursue–withdraw cycle through a narrative therapy lens and shows how couples can step out of old roles and into new possibilities for connection. If you’re ready to change the way your relationship handles conflict, this is the perfect place to begin.
