One word comes to mind to describe Trauma-Informed Care: that word is…compassion. With Latin origins, compassion means to suffer with (Merriam-Webster, n.d.). Compassion upgrades empathy to include, not only the sharing of the emotional experience but also a desire to assist with alleviating the distress (Merriam-Webster, n.d.). Trauma-informed behavioral health practitioners operate from a perspective of understanding (i.e. empathy) and intentional responsiveness (i.e. compassion); this approach focuses on the physical, psychological, and emotional needs of the survivor and the community (SAMHSA, 2014).

Love is the foundation of a happy and enduring home. However, a house is not merely the foundation only. On top of that foundation are the walls of trust and commitment. These walls contain within the house such elements (and interior dressings) as fondness and admiration, turning towards each other (not away), maintaining a positive outlook, properly managing conflict, making life dreams come true (together), and creating shared meaning. 

The challenges faced in marriage, however, are often the result of Marital Myths.

In this episode, I’ll be breaking down common challenges experienced by couples and I’ll be exploring the 1986 film The Money Pit as we journey through these common challenges. SPOILER ALERT for anyone who has not seen this movie (as I will be discussing specific moments in the film). Also, my utilization of this film is not an endorsement of its content nor its themes.

Let's face it. We all know someone who has experienced at least one traumatic event in their lives. We may be the trauma survivor. In fact, 50% of all U.S. adults will experience at least one traumatic event in their lives (NIH). Trauma can be damaging in the moment and in the aftermath. On this episode, I discuss my personal experience with trauma and PTSD. I also discuss the Conspiracy of Silence spearheaded by Dr. Yael Danieli (2009).
