What’s the Secret to Overcoming Trauma in Love?

Language of Love with Dr. Laura Berman

What do you do when your relationship feels stuck in a cycle of disconnection? Do you ever feel like no matter how hard you try, you and your partner just can’t sync up? Perhaps past trauma is creating invisible walls, or the pressures of daily life are slowly pulling you apart. How can you break through and rebuild trust and intimacy when life keeps throwing curveballs?

In this Language of Love session, I’m thrilled to welcome back Stacey and Brian. It’s been about a month since we last checked in with them, and I’m excited to see how things have evolved. There’s a lot to unpack today, and we dive deeper into the underlying issues driving their tension and explore how they can start showing up for each other in more meaningful ways.

Here is what you’ll learn in this episode:

• Why “disconnected intimacy” is a relationship red flag
• How small changes build big trust
• Why aligning on decisions is crucial and how to avoid undermining each other.
• How financial stress impacts emotional and physical connection—and what to do about it.
• Communication hacks, conscious loving tips, and the importance of stepping back during heated moments.

Remember, healing and connection are journeys best taken with the right tools. Ready to deepen intimacy?
