How Do Couples Cope in the Aftermath of Traumatic Events?


Listen Later

Too often in the aftermath of a traumatic event be it the loss of a child, a natural disaster or the wounds of war, a couple’s relationship becomes the collateral damage of the pain and loss suffered. In this episode, Host Dr. Suzanne B. Phillips will draw upon the book she co-authored with Dr. Dianne Kane, Healing Together: A Couple’s Guide to Coping with Trauma & Post-Traumatic Stress to help couples understand that their relationship can either be the locus of pain or an important source of support and recovery. Dr. Phillips will demystify the stress responses associated with trauma, recognize the different ways that men and women react, and introduce the concept of couple psychological first aid. Drawing upon examples, she will discuss why anger and the disruption of sexual intimacy become common dynamics after trauma and the strategies to use to turn painful disconnection into loving connection again. She welcomes listeners to call and join the discussion.
