A speaker (appears in a YouTube video by Josh Trent) reflects on how mutual triggers and shared core wounds—especially fear of abandonment—have been damaging their relationship. They identify a mirroring dynamic with Josh Wright where each partner’s behavior reactivates the other’s wounds, discuss a recent intensification since the birth of their child Nova, and frame their current work as learning to be a powerful woman in relationship with a powerful man while letting go of a "battle of the sexes" mindset.

Yeah, you're my perfect mirror. As much as I didn't want to admit that I believe that we have the same deep core wounds and I think those were triggering each other. Fear of abandonment, fear of it not working out. I had to really look at those parts of myself that where is Josh Wright in some ways like, yeah, I know that my behavior is triggering his deepest wounds and his behavior triggers my deepest wounds. And if we could just let go of the battle of the sexes, I think, I think we would, would do great. Especially in the last couple years since Nova was born, you standing strong in your manhood and what you think is right as a man and me standing strong in my womanness and defending what I think is right for a woman. So my biggest work here is like how to truly be in a relationship with a powerful man as a powerful woman and also to acknowledge like the deepest wounds.
