46: You Can't Think Your Way Out of Trauma

In this episode of the Helping Couples Heal podcast, Marnie and
Duane talk with Gemini Adams, Trauma Recovery Specialist,
Educator, Author, and HCH Coach, about the importance of
including somatic practices in the treatment of Complex Post
Traumatic Stress Disorder (C-PTSD). Talk therapy and coaching
have tremendous value and are often much-needed resources for
individuals suffering from mental health issues, life
stressors, grief, and relationship problems. Talking also has
some limitations when it comes to healing complex trauma and
calming a dysregulated nervous system. 


After the discovery of betrayal, both partners often experience
acute and chronic stress, emotional overwhelm, and relational
trauma, which disrupts their ability to feel safe with themselves
and may result in survival responses that increase anxiety,
anger, depression, despair, and/or dissociation. Suppose you are
walking the path of healing from betrayal trauma. In that case,
this conversation will help you understand the importance of
integrating somatic practices to help return your nervous system
to safety, reduce trauma responses and move toward a greater
capacity for connection, communication, and inner peace.
