(HS Perel / Richmond 095902 2017) Trauma and the Roots of Infidelity
Tracking # 20-929829
Course overview
The couple in this session comes to Esther for guidance on how to create a space of safety for physical intimacy. They are gay men who have been together for 14 years and were married only two weeks before the session. One of the partners has a history of PTSD with addictions and substance abuse. There were several infidelities on the part of that same partner one year before they came for this session. They want to stay together in spite of the infidelities. They have fairly consistent, defined roles - one is the talker; the other is the quiet caretaker. When they begin the session the quiet caretaker would like to understand more about his partner's trauma so he can be sure not to trigger him and also be able to help him more. The talker wants to be better able to receive what is offered without being triggered.
