Why You’re Exhausted: Loving Someone With Trauma Isn’t What You Were Prepared For

Описание: Why You’re Exhausted: Loving Someone With Trauma Isn’t What You Were Prepared For

If you’re married to someone who carries childhood trauma, chances are you’re exhausted — emotionally, mentally, and maybe even physically.

And yet… you keep wondering why.

Why you’re trying so hard and still feel like nothing works.

Why it feels like you’re constantly walking on eggshells.

Why you’re losing yourself in the process.

In this episode, we’re talking about the hidden impact of trauma on marriage — not from a clinical or blaming lens, but from the lived experience of the partner who is trying to hold everything together.
We’ll explore:

• Why loving someone with trauma often feels lonely and confusing
• How trauma turns relationships into nervous-system battlegrounds (without either partner meaning to)
• Why your exhaustion is not a sign that you’re doing it wrong
• And the truth no one tells you about what trauma silently demands from the non-traumatized partner

This is part one of a three-part series on trauma, triggers, and the path back to connection — culminating in a powerful conversation with Dr. Kelly Flanagan.

If you’ve ever thought:“I love them… but I don’t know how much longer I can do this,”
this episode is for you.
