Have you ever pulled away from someone you love—not because you didn’t care, but because closeness felt too painful?
This week, Thomas is joined by renowned couples therapy expert Dr. Terry Real for a conversation on how trauma affects our relationships with ourselves, our intimate partners, and the world at large—and how we can heal those wounds.
Intimacy isn’t just something you share with other people; it’s also an authentic connection with yourself. Thomas and Terry explore how our relationships are impacted by trauma from the past, why we become triggered in the present, and what it takes to establish trust, safety, and understanding.
These are essential lessons for anyone who wants to shift from conflict to connection, both in your personal life and in the way that you impact the world around you.
