Unlocking Connection: The Power of Love Languages in PTSD Recovery
It gets challenging because you're on the same coin and you're on different sides, right. So that's why it's important to kind of know your primary love language and then to understand your partner's primary love language.
Ever feel like your partner just doesn’t get you? It might be because you’re speaking different love languages. In this episode of 'The Overcoming PTSD Podcast', hosts Kayleen Wright and Brad Schipke break down Gary Chapman’s book, 'The 5 Love Languages', and how it can transform relationships strained by PTSD. They dive into the five love languages—quality time, words of affirmation, physical touch, acts of service, and receiving gifts—and explain how understanding these can rekindle deep connections.
Kayleen and Brad share their personal stories of how embracing these love languages helped them heal from PTSD and rebuild their relationship. But it’s not just about romantic partners; they also discuss how these principles can strengthen bonds with friends and family. Whether you’re struggling with PTSD or supporting someone who is, this episode offers practical advice and heartfelt insights to help you connect on a deeper level.
