Trauma-whether acute or cumulative-can amplify conflict cycles and block connection. A structured blend of relational and trauma‐processing approaches aims to address both the patterns in the room and the unresolved experiences that keep those patterns active. National reporting has continued to highlight how stress and uncertainty spill into home life and relationships; the American Psychological Association's Stress in America report in 2024 noted persistent stress and its impact on well‐being and family dynamics (American Psychological Association, 2024).

The trauma‐informed couples care pathway includes:

. EFT to map and shift negative interaction cycles toward secure attachment and responsiveness.
. EMDR to reprocess distressing memories that can trigger withdrawal, anger, or shutdown in the relationship.
. CBT skills training for practical, day‐to‐day changes in communication, boundaries, and problem‐solving.

Formats include weekly sessions and, when clinically appropriate, brief focused intensives. Services are inclusive of dating, pre‐marital, married, and long‐term partners, and are offered in‐person in Woodbridge and via telehealth statewide.

Why trauma‐informed care for couples

When unresolved experiences surface in conflict, partners can become locked in protect‐and‐protest cycles-misunderstanding each other's underlying signals for safety and closeness. Trauma‐informed couples care pairs attachment‐based work with targeted memory reprocessing so that partners can respond, not react. Evidence‐based modalities such as EFT and EMDR have been widely studied in peer‐reviewed literature; EFT has shown strong outcomes for relationship distress, and EMDR is recognized for treating trauma‐related symptoms that may interfere with bonding and repair.
