Summary

In 2008, Katherine suffered a massive brain stem stroke. She was 26 at the time and now, almost 10 years later, the aftershocks of that moment still remain. Katherine’s face is permanently paralyzed, she needs a wheelchair to get around and her speech and hearing are impacted. It’s been an excruciating yet beautiful road that has led the Wolf family to find a new normal in almost every aspect of their life. In this episode, we talk about their marriage, family and the things they have learned when life gives you something … unexpected.

Hey friends this is fun therapy and my name is Mike Foster and together we're going to dive into the messy and the horrible and the brutal but beautiful parts of life and we do it all with a smile.

0:16.0

Because when we're heard and when life lets us down when there's pain,

0:21.0

life can feel oh so heavy.

0:25.0

But maybe it feels heavy to you right now

0:27.5

because you picked up something along the way that doesn't belong to you.

0:37.8

Shame or guilt or fear or a belief that you're not loved. We do this in our stories and especially when we're heard traumatic things happen we pick these

0:44.6

things up and maybe through these discussions we can figure out what

0:49.5

belongs and what needs to go what needs to be embraced and what needs to be released. Ultimately, so the

burden isn't so heavy and we can live more free.

And it's specifically for couples,

1:30.9

It's a his and her workbook to help create closeness and intimacy and

1:36.8

connection in your relationship. Now we have a bit of a counter-tuitive approach to relational development and we basically say this don't work on your problems

1:48.9

Work on your togetherness that's the starting place to actually address the bigger problems in your

1:54.8

relationship, but if you don't have togetherness, you don't have oneness, there's a sense of unity,

1:58.4

it's going to be really difficult to work on problems. A lot of couples make that mistake.

2:02.0

And so if this sounds something like something you want to do with your partner.

2:06.2

Five Dates.co is the website and you can order the workbooks there.
