Vicki and Tom Dau are the owners of Team Dau Wellness. Vicki is an author, mixed media artist, and Certified Clinical EFT Practitioner and Master Coach, while Tom is a home repair contractor. As Team Dau, Vicki, and Tom work with couples in navigating trauma and strengthening their marriages. They are also volunteers for Reclaim 13, an organization that raises awareness and offers recovery from sexual abuse and trafficking.

Vicki and Tom join us today to discuss navigating trauma while in a committed relationship. They discuss bullying, its impact on self-esteem, and the guilt of toxic behavior in previous relationships. They describe their work with couples and share how men can help support their wives as they heal from trauma. They also highlight the role of communication in relationships, discuss what it means to lay the groundwork for impactful conversations, and explain why working together through trauma can be a beautiful thing.

“What can happen to a marriage depends on a couple’s commitment and beliefs. They can divorce and be miserable, or journey together, arm in arm, pulling each other up.” - Vicki Dau
