Today, we’re tackling a tough topic: trauma and its impact on our relationships with our partners. Trauma can have a profound effect on our thought processes, making us hyper-vigilant, causing us to feel numb, and making us avoid certain situations or people. All of these responses can create barriers to connecting with our spouse and leave us feeling isolated.
But trauma doesn’t just affect our thoughts; it can also deepen our emotional reactions, making us more reactive and less able to control our responses. This can lead to conflicts with our partners, as we struggle to communicate our feelings and needs effectively.
On this episode, we’ll be exploring the ways in which trauma affects our interactions with our spouse to deepen our understanding of ourselves and partners.
