How can I find support for myself as my husband heals from a traumatic childhood?

Ask Dr. Julie Hanks

In this episode I talk with Cassie and answer the question “How can I find support for myself as my husband heals from a traumatic childhood?” Cassie’s husband is actively working on healing from this trauma, but there are times when she feels like her wants and needs have to take a back seat until he is better.

The story that Cassie has to put everything on hold while her husband heals is not true. She cannot wait to focus on herself and find the support she needs because she needs it now. We discuss different ways she can build connection and support into her everyday life, from scheduled nights with friends to journaling when her husband is emotionally unavailable and allowing herself to do less in her everyday life.
