Breaking Free from Emotional Fusion: Understanding, Identifying, and Overcoming It Biblically (Full Tutorial)

If someone being upset with you feels like the end of the world, if you can't rest when someone you love is struggling, if their mood determines your entire day—you're not being loving. You're emotionally fused.

In this episode, I break down: 

✅ What emotional fusion is—and how to recognize it in your marriage, family, and friendships 

✅ Why your body reacts the way it does (this is your nervous system, not a character flaw) 

✅ Why fusion isn't biblical (and what Jesus modeled instead) 

✅ Step-by-step how to break it—with real scenarios, practical tools, and nervous system regulation techniques you can use today
