We’re licensed marriage and family therapists and trauma experts with over 30 years of combined experience. We’ve seen time and time again how people have tried to will themselves to be happy, muscle through it, and have ended up even worse off than when they began. We’ve noticed that people have experienced deep pain, whether it’s others who have hurt them or situations and the world just beating them down, and often they have turned that into an internal dialogue where they are mean...like really cruel in how they talk to themselves. They have anxiety, feel depressed and overwhelmed, all the while their self talk is telling them ”I’m not good enough, I’m a failure, I’m worthless, I’m not loveable, I cannot trust anyone, I am powerless, I’m not in control.” How emotionally exhausting! We’ve realized that people want to get out of that place, they just don’t know how. They feel lost, alone, and without hope. Mental health & recurring toxic relationships can feel like an uphill battle, but you are not alone in this, that’s where we come in!

In our last episode, we discussed how trauma can impact our interactions with our spouse, making it harder to connect and communicate effectively. But today, we're shifting the focus to the solutions. We'll be discussing the practical tools and techniques that can help us overcome the barriers that trauma creates in relationships.
First, we'll talk about the importance of validating experiences, both our own and our partners'. When we feel heard and understood, it can help us feel more connected and build trust in our relationships.
Next, we'll dive into the benefits of building self-awareness, which can help us better understand our own emotions and reactions, as well as those of our partner.
We'll also explore grounding techniques, which can help us stay present in the moment and manage overwhelming emotions when triggered by past traumas.
Central nervous system compression(hugs) is another technique that can help calm our nervous system and reduce the physical symptoms of anxiety or trauma.
Lastly, we'll discuss EMDR, to help process traumatic memories and remove barriers to connecting.
