It’s no secret that each individual will process and navigate trauma in their own way. And when it comes to how we heal and grow alongside our partners in and out of the NICU, having tools for how to communicate and grow together can help immensely. To lead us in this discussion is the one and only Natalie Reiter with Prairieland Counseling!

In this episode we cover:

• How can we communicate with our partners when we process trauma differently?
• How can we communicate with our partners when we are in different places emotionally in our healing?
• How can an inward processor and an outward processor work together and find  common ground?
• How can we communicate our needs to our partners?
• What are some practical and gentle tips to preserve connection both in and out of the NICU?

We hope this episode offers some tangible tools and wisdom for how to communicate and heal alongside your partner. You are never ever alone!
