@drjondabach: 📸 : @chrisgqperry 🔊 Listen up! 🔊 If your partner keeps asking, “Are you okay?” over and over, it can be frustrating, right? But here’s the truth: This is often a trauma response 💔 from growing up in an unstable or abusive environment. They’re seeking reassurance – and giving it to them is the quickest way to help them heal 🌱. Over time, they'll ask less because they’ll feel safer. 💖 ✨ Sometimes patience and compassion are the keys to helping someone overcome old fears. #CouplesTherapy #RelationshipAdvice #SaveYourMarriage #HealthyRelationships #TherapistTips
Or a trauma response of being in an abusive relationship….

No, it never stops. They just keep asking anyway. It’s exhausting after a while. Makes me constantly second guess myself and my feelings/expressions, what did I do, etc etc

A guy I’m talking to asked for reassurance today and I gave it to him. He thanked me for offering reassurance. It’s simple.

It’s not just from say childhood! The trauma can come from being an adult. I know mine came from my horrific marriage.

What I can hate is when I can tell that they actually ARE upset, and they keep insisting they aren't. Meanwhile, they're being short with me and not really responsive to communication

Huh?.. I had a great upbringing but I ask my partner constantly if he's okay. I like to hear from them they're happy.

It took about 5-6 years into my marriage to realize when my husband was in fact saying he was okay- he was okay.

what about the person being asked? how do you think they feel? my partner asks all the time if we're OK and good, when there is nothing bad or wrong going on. and makes the person being asked feel bad

My bf have this problem. He grow up in a bad house, parents always scream, especially his mom. So everytime I am quiet, he ask me. Or say "no angy". I always answer to them, so he can relax
