A posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) has a major impact on someone's life and often on social relationships as well. The partner relationship in particular can come under pressure. At the same time, a partner relationship can also make a powerful contribution to recovery. How does this work exactly? And what can you do, if you suffer from PTSD or are a partner, to stay connected and promote recovery?
Op Thursday, October 1* is this theme central to a new live webinar by Traumanet Academy. Our guest that evening is Aerjen Tamminga, a passionate psychologist, couples therapist, and researcher. Aerjen has extensive experience in working with couples and has been delving for years into the role of partners and partner involvement in the treatment of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
This in-depth and accessible live webinar is particularly interesting for people with PTSD symptoms and their partners. It is also valuable for other loved ones or professionals involved with people with PTSD and their partners.
Do you have a specific question about PTSD and romantic relationships? As a participant, you can ask Aerjen your question when you register or live during the webinar.
