1295: Communication Secrets for Struggling Couples and Rebuilding Trust After Infidelity with Couples Coach and Psychologist Dee Tozer
When a relationship starts to break down, the damage isn’t always obvious at first. Small moments of distance, unspoken resentment, or the pressure of outside stress can quietly chip away at the foundation.

Over time, what once felt unshakable can turn into something fragile, where both people feel more like strangers than partners.
Dee Tozer, an internationally recognized psychologist and couples master coach, specializes in repairing relationships after betrayal. Author of Affair Repair and Get Your Relationship Right, she has over 30 years of experience helping high-achieving couples overcome infidelity and emotional disconnection.
