Episode 3206:

In part one, Jenny TeGrotenhuis explains how past trauma can switch the nervous system from a pattern of connection to a pattern of protection, often in subtle ways that feel like personality. Through the story of a wife who over-gives to her husband and then resents him for not appreciating it, she shows how old scripts drive behavior that backfires, because a partner cannot connect with a defense. It is a compassionate look at how healing old wounds makes room for healthier relationships and a closer marriage.

Quotes to ponder:

"Trauma can hi-jack your nervous system and switch you from a pattern of connection to a pattern of protection."

"The reason this is so painful is that Pat can't have a relationship with a role or a performance."

"The thing about defenses is that while they protected us from threats in the past, they hinder us from genuine connection in the present, when no real threat exists."
