When couples emotionally withdraw after trauma

My partner and I went through something really hard six months ago and while we survived it, I can tell we're both protecting ourselves now in ways that keep us from really being there for each other. We say we're fine but we're both holding back and I don't know how to tell them I miss who we used to be together.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Two people who love each other have learned to survive by building walls that now keep them from the very intimacy that could heal them.
