  Strengthening Your Financial Partnership — Systems, Agreements & Repair Once couples build a foundation of shared meaning and teamwork, the next step is putting systems in place that support clarity, trust, and connection. Here are the next six practices that help couples continue building a strong financial partnership. 1. Use Roles and Systems That Fit Each Partner’s Strengths “Fair” doesn’t always mean 50/50. Healthy partnerships honor each person’s strengths and bandwidth. Some couples naturally divide tasks—one handles day-to-day bills while the other oversees long-term planning.

 This article gives a brief overview of trauma responses and ways to reduce and manage these responses to improve overall well-being and support recovery from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and Complex PTSD (CPTSD). If you or someone you love has experienced a traumatic event, this article is for you. What triggers trauma? “The past affects the present even without our being aware of it.”  ― Francine Shapiro Our brains are constantly making associations outside of our awareness. From an evolutionary standpoint, this makes sense. If we do not associate danger with the lion’s den, what’s to stop us from walking in? These neural associations create an automatic response to the world around us to help keep us safe. However, now that our world has fewer run-ins with lions, tigers, and bears, it doesn’t mean that our neural hardwiring has changed. For example, when I say, “Roses are Red” your following thought will most likely be, “Violets are Blue ”. Though this nursery rhym...
