Hi Sven, my husband and I have had a pretty tumultuous two years in our marriage. We both read your book and have been doing all of the journaling. I’m feeling stuck because while we are trying to work things out and move forward, the journaling is bringing out a lot of anger towards him and things that have been said and done. Do I keep journaling until I find clarity? It feels like I am feeling more of a push away from the relationship than towards it and it’s scary.
Wow Sven!!!!! You're amazing!!!!! What a great episode 👌
love your podcast and books! Where’s your Sunday episode? I really look forward to them!
Got married July 4th. New husband had severe PTSD episode that night. He immediately asked for help to keep it from happening again. So our wedding night and honeymoon have been dealing with that. I am so proud of him for requesting help. But I need help for me to not build up resentment that what was expected to be the most romantic weeks of our relationship have been spent seeing therapists and generally doing whatever he needs to feel supported. He's not in a place to support me at all, though he makes sure to express his love and appreciation for me. I adore him and am so immeasurably proud of him for getting help. I need to know how to support me while all the focus is on him, instead of the "us" I was expecting.
