Amazing book on doing couples therapy with trauma survivors. Very helpful perspective on how one of the most healing interventions for trauma is fostering a secure relationship—and why not help the traumatized person establish a secure relationship with the person who has the best chance of being with them for the long term, their spouse?
Great examples of couple/therapist dialogue, good exploration of the EFT model, though it would probably be helpful to know the EFT model coming into this book.

living with trauma is hard no matter what. However, living with trauma and having a healthy relationship, can be double as hard. Often trauma was perpetrated by another person who was supposed to be trustworthy. Now there is another person who you are supposed to trust, but how can you when trustworthy people hurt you? This book is a great book when working with couples where there is significant trauma. It explains adult attachment and the impact on relationships.
This book has inspired me to consider a future therapeutic focus of applying EFT to couples with trauma. Great (basic) overview of counseling theory behind trauma therapy, attachment and Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) for couples. Easy to understand beginners guide for using the combined wisdom in all three theories to help couples recover from and/or build resilience to trauma.
This book adds little to the present litterature on the subject of traum and is written in a boring, academic, removed style. You can get much better informaion about trauma in other works and as for EFT, Dr. Johnson's first book is a gem and just read and reread that.

A lot of the concepts in this book wrre super valuable they style was repetitive and sluggish. I'm glad I finished it but it definitely took a concious choice to do so. Also, this is not a lay person book.

“From the cradle to the grave, humans desire a certain someone who will look out for them, notice and value them, soothe their wounds, reassure them in life’s difficult places, and hold them in the dark.”

“In old Celtic stories, where life is dark and full of danger, poets and seers teach people how to face the darkness. They teach that life is about standing in a narrow passage, in the dark, with your back against the wall, facing a dragon. There is no escape. The only question, in these old stories, is how well you fight. This is a somber vision, but also one that celebrates the courage that the darkness calls forth.”
