Description

In this Language of Love session, I sit down with Regine, a listener facing the dual challenges of a partner with PTSD and her journey through grief and caregiving. She's navigating the delicate balance between her social desires and her partner's need for solitude due to PTSD. It's a dance many couples know all too well – the push and pull of togetherness and independence. This has put a strain on their relationship, as Regine longs for shared social experiences and support, especially after the loss of her son and the emotional toll of caring for her mother with Alzheimer's. We also touch on something incredibly profound – the connection between our bodies and our emotional well-being. Regine shares her journey of caregiving and personal loss, and together, we discuss the transformative power of tuning into our bodies to find healing and peace.

We deep dive into:

Life's fragility and the desire to cherish every moment

The roles of victim and villain in relationship dynamics

The importance of understanding love languages in a relationship

The importance of having a supportive community outside the relationship

The impact of grief and loss on relationships

Finding the middle ground and compromising in relationships

Why you should be listening to your body and use your heart as a compass
