The Cost of Love – Episode 8: Therapy & Transformation with Mary Ellen Mahoney (Part 1)
In Episode 8 of The Cost of Love, Haley McGee begins a powerful two-part conversation with psychotherapist Mary Ellen Mahoney—diving deep into the emotional architecture
In Episode 8 of The Cost of Love, Haley McGee begins a powerful two-part conversation with psychotherapist Mary Ellen Mahoney—diving deep into the emotional architecture of our relationships.
This episode explores how early experiences, attachment styles, and unresolved patterns shape the way we give and receive love. Mary Ellen brings decades of clinical insight, guiding Haley (and all of us) toward a deeper understanding of the unconscious contracts we carry into relationships—and what it takes to begin untangling them.
From a production perspective, we approached this episode with quiet intensity. The subject matter is intimate and often raw, so we built a sound world that held space for reflection, pause, and depth. It’s a conversation that asks us not just to listen, but to feel.
This first part focuses on the origins of our emotional responses—why we sabotage, overextend, or shrink in love—and how therapy can offer a path back to ourselves.
