PTSD can undermine healthy couple communication when people fear their emotions

Summary

Nutrition label

79% Informative

Fear of emotions among couples with PTSD is associated with unproductive communication, according to a new study.

This study is the first to identify that fear of emotions has interpersonal consequences, meaning the fear influences how people interact with one another.

People with PTSD often experience emotions as dangerous and a trigger -- or a trauma reminder.

The study reveals more nuance about how PTSD symptoms, fear of emotions and communication difficulties are connected and why they should be treated at the same time.

The National Center for Advancing Translational Science , the Karl R. Fink and Diane Wendle Fink Early Career Professorship for the Study of Families at Penn State funded this research.
