Married After Kids

Ep. 124: Deployment Series 2.0 - What Leads To The Most Unhappiness


Listen Later

Let's peel back the curtain on a topic that often remains hidden in the shadows. It's something we seldom discuss openly, yet many of us face often. The challenges we experience in our marriages during deployments are more common and normal than we think. The problem lies in our reluctance to talk about it openly with others.


While working with my clients, I've listened to them express emotions of shame, resentment, and frustration, often believing that their unique problems have no viable solutions. You're not alone feeling like this. It's time to shed light on what leads to the most unhappiness during deployments.

 

We’re exploring:

  • How we unintentionally inflict hurt and pain on ourselves, making marriage and deployment way more challenging than necessary
  • Research findings on the tendency to internalize problems and negative experiences
  • What pulls couples apart, particularly during deployment (and the destructive nature of this pattern)
  • The ripple effect of staying in “defense mechanism mode” 
  • Our brain's role and the misinformation it can feed us
  • What to focus on when you’re struggling in your relationship that will change everything
