What happens to love and connection when trauma enters the picture?

In this heartfelt episode of Security Halt!, host Deny Caballero sits down with Danielle Sebastian to explore the real-life challenges couples face when trauma, service-related stress, and emotional wounds impact a relationship. Together, they dive into what it takes to build trust, communicate with purpose, and heal together.

This conversation is raw, insightful, and packed with real tools for veterans, military families, and couples navigating emotional wounds—whether from deployment, past trauma, or the daily grind of life after service.

You’ll learn:

  • How trauma affects emotional connection and communication
  • Why vulnerability and trust are foundational to healing
  • Practical coping mechanisms for partners on both sides of the struggle
  • How to identify and manage emotional triggers
  • The importance of community, self-discovery, and shared growth in a healthy relationship

This episode is a must-listen for anyone seeking to repair, rebuild, or deepen their connection while navigating the long shadow trauma can cast on love.
