8 Weeks to Healing After the Storm
Alice Hetty Lopez
This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice.
Trauma has a profound impact not only on individuals but on the relationships, they hold most dear. When trauma enters a relationship, it can undermine trust, weaken emotional safety, and severely challenge intimacy. For couples where one or both partners have experienced trauma, navigating its aftermath can often feel overwhelming. Healing a relationship that has been wounded by trauma requires deep compassion, empathy, and the right therapeutic tools to rebuild bonds of trust and safety.
This book, "8 Weeks to Healing After the Storm: Emotionally Focused Therapy for Couples Recovering from Trauma", is a guide for couples seeking a path back to each other after trauma has struck. Its primary approach is Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), a therapeutic model designed to help couples deepen their emotional connection, repair attachment injuries, and foster long-lasting bonds of intimacy and trust.
EFT is grounded in the belief that attachment and emotional security are the cornerstones of healthy relationships. Trauma, however, can disrupt these bonds, leaving couples feeling distant, defensive, or disconnected. EFT provides couples with tools to explore and understand their emotional experiences, allowing them to see each other not as adversaries but as allies in their healing journey.
