Are You In Crisis? How to Recognize the Signs and Save Your Relationship

In this powerful episode of the Label Free Podcast, host Deanna Radulescu welcomes back relationship expert Fred Talisman to discuss a topic many couples avoid: “Are You In Crisis?” With over 25 years of experience helping individuals and couples navigate relationship challenges, Fred provides invaluable insights into recognizing when a relationship is in trouble—and what to do about it.

Recognizing the Signs of a Relationship in Crisis

Fred outlines key indicators that a relationship may be struggling, including:

• Persistent conflict and recurring arguments

• Communication breakdowns

• Emotional and physical distance

• Loss of intimacy or trust issues

• Life stressors impacting the partnership

He stresses that many people wait too long to seek help, often reaching out only after contemplating a breakup. Fred emphasizes the importance of addressing the root causes of issues rather than just the symptoms, noting that quick fixes or surface-level therapy rarely create lasting change.

Understanding Discomfort: Negative vs. Positive

One of the most eye-opening parts of the conversation is Fred’s explanation of discomfort. He distinguishes between negative discomfort, which leads to avoidance and stagnation, and positive discomfort, which is an opportunity for growth and meaningful change. Seeking help, Fred reminds us, is not a sign of weakness—it’s a courageous step toward healing.

A Results-Oriented Approach to Relationship Help

Fred shares how he approaches initial consultations, focusing on understanding the couple’s unique situation and equipping them with actionable strategies to revitalize their relationship. Unlike traditional therapy that sometimes leaves clients feeling worse, Fred’s results-oriented methods ensure couples walk away with tools they can implement immediately.
