Summary
Trauma doesn’t just live in the past—it shows up in our communication, our tone, and our bodies. In this week’s Deciphering Growth, we unpack trauma-informed couples therapy and how to build safer connection. We cover: why domestic violence screening must be done individually, how triggers hijack conversations, what polyvagal cues (voice, face, posture) do to our nervous systems, and practical tools— grounding, co-regulation, “Gottman” time-outs , and repair rituals—you can start using today. Whether you’re curious about EFT/Gottman , want better communication during conflict , or need ways to de-escalate fast , this one’s for you.
