“Little t” trauma refers to a disturbing event that, while not immediately life-threatening or violent, is deeply upsetting and exceed an individual’s ability to cope. As people, we tend to downplay these, but little “t” trauma can create significant psychological damage, especially when accumulated.

Criticism- Attacking another person’s character rather than addressing a specific behavior.

Contempt- Communicating disrespect, superiority, or disgust (sarcasm, eye-rolling, mocking)

Defensiveness- Responding to a complaint by denying responsibility or blaming the other person

Stonewalling-Shutting down, withdrawing, or refusing to engage during conflict.

These Four Horsemen disrupt connection in marriage and escalate any conflict, making the discussion unproductive. Instead of these disruptors, focus on mutual appreciation and respect, take a break when needed, and listening to your spouse.
