Relationships & Intimacy

Rules of Engagement

Creating Peace in the Home Front. Explore how to recalibrate hyper-vigilance, trade command for collaboration, and manage baggage service leaves behind. Join us to redefine strength and build lasting partnership based on mutual trust.

What Will You Learn?

  • Recalibrating the “Threat Assessment”
    In the military, hyper-vigilance is a life-saving skill. In a relationship, it can look like defensiveness or overreacting to small “breaches.” This topic covers how to turn off the “search for threats” when walking through the front door.
  • The Transition from Command to Collaboration
    Veterans are used to a clear chain of command. Relationships, however, are a partnership of equals. This covers how to move from “giving orders” to “negotiating needs.”
  • Managing Fallout
    We all carry baggage, but veterans often carry a heavier “ruck” of trauma or moral injury. This teaches partners how to help carry the load without overstepping or trying to “fix” the vet.
