Episode 25: Why They Won’t Listen (And How to Fix It)

“People don’t recover in programs—they recover in relationships.”

You can’t help someone who doesn’t feel safe with you.

In this episode, Jason Coombs reveals the real reason your loved one may resist change—even when the consequences are obvious. Spoiler: It’s not about logic, advice, or control. It’s about what the relationship feels like.

Programs don’t change people. Trust and connection do.
Jason shares why rapport opens the door to healing—and trust keeps it open long enough for change to walk through.

Whether you’re watching your loved one spiral, or trying to rebuild from another relapse, this episode gives you a new way to engage that actually works.

What You’ll Learn:

✔️ The difference between trust and rapport (and why you need both)
✔️ How the PACE method helps you build influence without enabling
✔️ The story of Amanda: a real-life example of connection over control
✔️ How to stop reacting in fear—and start responding with strength
✔️ Why relapse doesn’t mean failure (and what it can mean)
✔️ Practical daily habits that rebuild emotional safety
✔️ What to say when they don’t want to talk
