About this episode
The episode explores when divorce may be the only option for couples in crisis and introduces the Predictors of Change framework.
In the Season 4 premiere of the Grounded Union Podcast , we dive deep into one of the hardest questions couples in crisis face. Brandon and Caitlyn Doerksen break down their Predictors of Change framework: four concrete, action-based signs that tell you whether your spouse is genuinely committed to healing or just going through the motions. From radical honesty and breaking free from screens, to getting back into your body and systematically rewiring the brain's sexual thought patterns, this episode gives you a clear lens to cut through confusion and see reality for what it is.
