The Cost of Quiet: How to Have the Hard Conversations that Create Secure, Lasting Love
COLETTE JANE FEHR is a licensed psychotherapist specializing in couples therapy and an author. She also cohosts the popular podcast Insights from the Couch, and the new radio show Love Thy Neighbor, and her 2025 TEDx talk "Secrets of a Couples Therapist" was a TED editor's pick. She grew up in Rye, NY, and now lives in Orlando with her family.
As a speaker with more than a decade of experience as a psychotherapist and relationship expert, she shares useful ideas that transform how people see themselves and what they believe is possible for their lives — from their careers to their relationships, and everything in between. Colette will share how to break free from avoidant patterns, speak up with confidence and build the deeply connected relationship you’ve always wanted based on her new book, The Cost of Quiet.
TOPICS FROM THE BOOK…
CONFLICT We are terrified of conflict. It’s normal to fear conflict. And not just fear it — avoid it at all costs. Conflict is uncomfortable, it can be scary, and it seems guaranteed to cause harm. We’ve been taught that conflict is a sign that our relationships aren’t working. If we’re in conflict, doesn’t that mean our relationship is broken? Actually, it’s the opposite. Conflict is healthy even inevitable when two people come together with different backgrounds, personalities, wants, and needs. Healthy conflict offers an opportunity for growth and intimacy. If you can navigate it effectively, you can harness its potential to feel closer to your partner than you ever imagined and develop your own emotional maturity in the process. Healthy conflict saves marriages; it doesn’t destroy them.
AVOIDANT BEHAVIOR Avoidant behaviors range from suppressing feelings and self-silencing to loudly projecting blame and anger. It might look like telling your partner you’re fine when you’re actually seething because you’re convinced, they can’t handle hearing what you have to say, or maybe you don’t trust yourself to say it without getting ugly. It may look like allowing frustration to boil over into an explosion of damaging insults you really don’t mean and can’t take back. It can also take the form of incessant bickering or passive aggressive digs.
HOW TO UNLOCK YOUR AUTHENTIC VOICE A healthy, fulfilling relationship is about depth, meaning and connection. It’s honest, open, and real. It’s a union between two people who consciously and intentionally continue to choose each other throughout life — who know each other’s underlying fears, unhealed wounds and embrace each other in these tender vulnerabilities and become a rock-solid team against the outside world.
