Two people can love each other and still keep reaching for each other the wrong way.
When one or both partners carry trauma, the relationship starts running on old wiring. Protection reads as distance. A request reads as an attack. The fight is never about the dishes.
This book maps that dynamic and gives couples a shared language for it — so the work stops being about who is right and starts being about what each person is actually protecting.
