Make Mental Health Matter with Kelli Melissa Reinhardt: Can Relationships Help Heal Trauma?

Andrea J. Medaris: Can Relationships Help Heal Trauma? In this episode of Make Mental Health Matter Show, host Kelli Melissa Reinhardt has special guest Andrea J. Medaris. A little bit about Andrea’s story from her: I'm a couple therapist and treat many clients where one or both partners have a trauma history. Having done both individual and couple work around trauma, I've come to believe that couple therapy is one of the best ways to treat relational trauma (which most trauma is). Short Bio: Andrea J. Medaris, Psy.D., is a licensed psychologist, certified supervisor in Emotionally Focused Couple Therapy, Director of the Center for Relationships at Psychology Specialists of Maine, and President of EFT Maine. She has spent the past decade in clinical work with couples, particularly relationships shaped by trauma, disconnection, and recurring conflict. She writes The Emotional Logic, a newsletter making sense of love, conflict, and desire, and her first book, What You Wish For, argues that emotional security and passion aren't the tradeoff we've been told they are.
