Marriage Minefields
(Is it you, me, or is it the trauma speaking?)
$25 per person or couple - 4 hour course
Minefields defined - in land warfare, an area of ground containing mines placed with or without patterns.
So often couples - who clearly love each other - are risking separation and seeking marriage counseling. It doesn't take long however, to see that it may not be an incompatiblity issue . . . they may have a trauma issue!
Whether both suffer from past traumas or triggers, or you have an unaffected person trying to live with a jumpy, trigger-proned individual, understanding is the beginning of healing.
Don and Lori Dixon will share their own experiences of learning how they navigated their own marriage minefield as quiet, steady Don tiptoed with a zero ACE score (Adverse Childhood Experience), and Lori clomped into the relationship with a hyperviglant score of 5.
Practical coping skills will be shared as we explore the "whys", the "what the hecks" and the "what nows"!
