Podcast Insights
Content Themes
The podcast focuses on themes related to trauma and relationships, emotional regulation, and mentalizing within partnerships. Episode discussions include how trauma affects emotional responses in couples, the importance of setting boundaries, and the challenges faced by trauma survivors in their interactions. For instance, episodes like Emotional Regulation Between Partners and The Impacts of Trauma in a Romantic Relationship illustrate these concepts through real-life couple experiences.
Almost two thirds of us have experienced traumatic events in our lives. How do these experiences persist beyond those moments: in our lives, our bodies, and our romantic relationships? Join Dr Heather B. MacIntosh as she explores these questions with couples on their journey to healing broken bonds.
As we move through the world and our lives we are surrounded with images, stories, connections and relationships that tell us who we are, who we should be, who we should love, how we should love, and how we should feel about ourselves and others. For many of us living the legacies of trauma in childhood and past relationships, breaking free of these scripts can be liberating and healing. Today Mike and Marie join Dr. Heather MacIntosh to explore how they’re navigating life, sexual identities, and parenthood with all the complexities of how trauma impacts them both individually and as a couple. Heather also sits down with Dr. Liz Powell, a psychologist, author and coach specialising in polyamory, and queer and trans communities, to gain some more insight into Mike and Marie’s healing journey.
Dr. MacIntosh’s workbook for trauma impacted couples is published by Routledge Press and can be purchased at Routledge.com or you can get in touch at [email protected]. Access the manual for therapists here.
