Arbeitsbuch für Paare zur traumasensiblen Paartherapie

Why Fighting Does Not Connect

Do you frequently experience conflicts in your relationship? Are there exaggerated emotional outbursts between you and your partner, or is there exhausting silence? One of the reasons for this may be a childhood trauma. Perhaps your parents experienced terrible things during the war and unintentionally passed on unresolved burdens to you. The result can be a relationship disorder that affects your current partnership.

This is where trauma-sensitive couple therapy comes in, and this workbook supports such therapy. As a couple, you will develop an understanding of what happens in the brain when you argue or remain silent out of fear of conflict. The book helps you mindfully resolve disputes and provides tools to manage your emotions. The goal is to gain insight into your couple dynamics and to attune to each other more lovingly.

This workbook…

• accompanies and supports you as a couple, not only during trauma-sensitive couple therapy.
• helps you review and deepen what you have learned.
• strengthens the relationship through joint engagement with the tasks.
