For Trauma Survivors and Those Who Love Them
When you've been through trauma, it doesn't just stay with you—it follows you into your most important relationships. If you're a trauma survivor, you might find yourself pulling away from your partner, struggling to trust, or feeling overwhelmed by emotions you can't control. Meanwhile, your partner might feel like they're walking on eggshells, not knowing how to help or why you've become so distant.
If you're the partner of someone who's been through trauma, you're carrying your own heavy load. You might be dealing with what therapists call "secondary trauma"—getting hurt by their hurt. You probably feel rejected when they push you away, and you might even feel angry or resentful sometimes (which then makes you feel guilty). Without help, couples get stuck in these patterns where nobody feels heard or loved.
Here's what makes our Trauma Relationship Group different: you're not sitting alone in a therapist's office trying to figure this out by yourselves. You're with other couples who really get what you're going through. There's something powerful about watching another couple work through the same struggles you have and seeing them come out stronger on the other side. It gives you hope that change is actually possible.
We'll help you understand what trauma actually does to your brain and body, and how that shows up in your relationship. Once you know why these things happen, you can start responding with compassion instead of confusion.
We'll work together on practical ways to reconnect—both emotionally and physically. No pressure, just proven techniques that help you find your way back to each other.
You'll learn how to have those hard conversations without everything falling apart. We'll teach you specific tools for working through conflict in ways that actually bring you closer together.
The other couples in your group become like a support network. They'll celebrate your wins, offer ideas when you're stuck, and remind you that you're not crazy for finding this stuff hard. Many people tell us the group becomes a place where they can finally be honest about what's really happening at home.
Dr. Riggins has been helping people heal from trauma for more than ten years. He's worked with hundreds of veterans and trauma survivors, and he's seen firsthand how trauma can tear relationships apart—and how the right support can put them back together. He's trained in several evidenced-based treatments such as Cognitive Processing Therapy. But more than that, he creates a space where you feel safe enough to be vulnerable and do the hard work of healing.
Don't let trauma keep running your relationship. Join other couples who are learning to build the kind of partnership you both deserve—one where you actually feel connected and understood.
