When someone has lived through trauma, whether a single event or a series of overwhelming experiences, the impact doesn’t just disappear once the situation is over. Trauma can shape how the body responds to stress, how safe a person feels in relationships, and how they see themselves. That’s where trauma-informed care comes in. Rather than asking, “What’s wrong with you?” trauma-informed care begins by asking, “What happened to you?” It’s an approach that emphasizes safety, compassion, and collaboration....

They can give us outlets, a sense of accomplishment and pride and community beyond our relationship....

We all want to be seen. Not necessarily agreed with, not instantly fixed — just seen. Heard. Understood. In couples therapy, I often watch partners wrestle with how to respond when the other is in pain. They rush to defensiveness or advice. They want to clear things up, move things forward, correct the story. It makes sense. But what most partners are truly longing for in those moments is to be heard and acknowledged....
