Diacardia - S2 E7 - The Art of Speaking the Unspeakable - Andrea Dindinger

Can you speak the unspeakable? Something you need to say, but it feels too risky. Great relationships soar when we can speak and hear the unspeakable. Listen when an outstanding marriage coach and therapist, Andrea Dindinger, asks her husband whether he thinks about them getting divorced. It's scary. But look at all the learning the courageous, curious, and caring question unleashes. And watch how she talks about the boundaries that make relationships grow strong. And the gentleness and patience to work across those boundaries. #diacardia #HealthyRelationships #BuildingTrust #BraveQuestions #AndreaDindinger #relationshipcoaching

Trauma - the Invisible Partner in Relationship

Protea Foundation Founder and CEO Cristina Pearse talks with Dan about two general kinds of trauma and how they affect close relationships. If you're partnering with someone who has experienced trauma or other significant loss you may experience them as highly sensitive and prone to being "triggered" by what seem like minor exchanges. We make sense of it. Cristina puts neurological science in understandable form. She helps Dan who shares about the early childhood trauma that's been hidden for decades. In their own diacardia conversation, Cristina and Dan explore how awareness generates new options for both partners to understand the hidden partner of PTSD in relationship. Diacardia does what it does: helps individuals grow more free and healthy and builds connection between them.
