Scenario

When couples struggle with sharing difficult personal histories

My partner and I have been together for three years and I still find myself editing what I say about my past trauma because I'm afraid it will be too much for them. They keep saying they want to know all of me, but I can see them tense up when I start to go deeper.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

The invitation to be fully known meets the terror of being too much to bear.
