In this short and profound lecture, we will explore the intricate ways in which trauma impacts relationships and couple dynamics. Understanding that trauma can profoundly affect both individuals and the bond they share, this session aims to shed light on the often-unseen influences of past experiences on present interactions.
Attendees will be introduced to the concept of trauma-informed care within the context of romantic relationships. We will discuss how trauma can manifest in various forms, from emotional reactions to communication patterns, and how it can unintentionally shape the dynamics between partners. The focus will be on recognizing these patterns and learning how to navigate them with sensitivity and awareness.
This lecture is not only about understanding the challenges but also about discovering pathways to healing and growth. We will delve into strategies for couples to support each other, building resilience and fostering a deeper, more empathetic connection.
Whether you are a mental health professional working with individuals or couples, this one-hour lecture offers valuable perspectives and tools. Join us as we learn how to navigate these complex waters, not just as individuals, but as partners in healing.
