287: Breaking Generational Trauma in Marriage (Part 2): Why Normalizing Emotions Heals Relationships


Listen Later

Many of us were taught that emotions were dangerous — too loud, too weak, too sinful, or simply inconvenient.

In Part 2 of our Breaking Generational Trauma series, Shai Lewis and Nina Rosner explore why normalizing emotion is a powerful step toward healing your marriage and disrupting painful family patterns.

If you grew up hearing:

"Be strong."

"Just pray about it."

"Other people have it worse."

"You're overreacting."

…then this episode is for you.

We discuss:

✔️ Why suppressing emotions creates disconnection

✔️ How unprocessed feelings show up in marriage

✔️ The difference between regulating and exploding

✔️ How Jesus modeled emotional validation

✔️ Why normalization builds secure attachment

✔️ What to do when your spouse rewrites history

Scripture reminds us in Romans 12:15 to "Rejoice with those who rejoice; mourn with those who mourn." Emotional presence is not weakness — it's biblical.

You cannot heal what you refuse to feel.

When you normalize emotion — in yourself and in your spouse — you stop reenacting generational pain and start building a thriving, connected marriage rooted in truth and grace.
