48. Unpacking Healthy Relationships After Trauma

Since our Unpacking Healthy Sex After Trauma episode was such a hit (and since G is six months into her loving relationship + M is now engaged), we decided to dive into unpacking healthy relationships after trauma. From how to communicate your previous trauma to a new partner to things you can say in a disagreement to fight productively, we are once again learning the hard way so that you don’t have to. We share how we met our partners and answer your questions about relationships.  Today, we cover: How to fight productively with your partner Things you can say in a disagreement A heart opening exercise to practice at home How having needs is our right and communicating them is our responsibility How to learn to easily take accountability + apologize Identifying when you have standards + when you have blocks  Don’t forget to DM us on IG or submit a question on thoughtsmayvary.com to have your question or theme unpacked on a future episode!  🎙️ Listen anywhere you get your podcasts 🎙️ 🎥 Watch episodes: https://www.youtube.com/@thoughtsmayvary   🫠 Follow along, we're funny on the internet sometimes https://www.thoughtsmayvary.com/ https://www.instagram.com/thoughtsmayvarypod https://www.tiktok.com/@thoughtsmayvarypod Meadow: https://www.instagram.com/itsmeadowlark Gaby: https://www.instagram.com/gabyulloa_ Patreon 🦋 https://www.patreon.com/thoughtsmayvary 🦋   DISCLAIMER: We are not licensed professionals.
