Haunted House of Relationship Horrors Listeners Edition

Curious Fox

What relationship fears lurk in the shadows of our minds, sending chills down our spines? Can the art of storytelling serve as both an outlet for our deepest relationship anxieties and a means of processing them? Might the eerie embrace of Halloween be the unlikely balm to soothe these fears?
In this special Halloween episode, Effy and Jacqueline delve into the anatomy of fear and go for a chilling foray into the Haunted House of relationship horrors once again. This time crafted with the brave contributions of our listeners, each chamber of this frightful abode captures a distinct relationship dread, reimagined. As we traverse this auditory maze, we're plunged into visceral scenarios that resonate all too deeply, creating a tapestry of fear, fascination, and shared human experience. An immersive treat that's equal parts spine-tingling and soul-touching—just in time for Halloween.
Here’s a framework to come up with your own room:

What are you afraid of?

• being abandoned
• losing myself
• being trapped, etc.

This will give you the theme of the room

What is a scenario that illustrates that fear?

• my partner will meet someone better than me and leave
• my partner and children will need so much of me that I will lose myself
• non-monogamy is not an option and my partner is not interested in sex then I will never have sex again, etc.

This will give you context for the room

What is a physical experience that can describe the feeling of fear? Think of it as a verb.

• Falling
• Sinking
• walking on a tightrope
• jumping from rock to rock over lava
• being pulled in all directions
• Shrinking
• hanging off the side of a cliff, etc.

That will give you the movement in the room that also will help your lister to empathize with your feelings.

What helps you feel better?

• concentrating on all the unique things you bring to a relationship
• asking your partner for validation when you feel insecure
• creating guilt-free space to be on your own doing something you enjoy, etc.

This will help you formulate your way out of the room.
