What is Relationship Trauma?
Relationship trauma encompasses the lasting wounds you experience because of abusive or toxic human relationships. It arises from your experiences of overt abuse or subtle yet insidious patterns of neglect, invalidation, narcissism, or emotional manipulation. If unaddressed, these wounds can cast a long shadow over your current relationships, even those grounded in mutual respect and love.
The impact of relationship trauma can reverberate through all facets of your life, influencing the way you perceive yourself and others, navigate intimacy, and establish boundaries. Unresolved trauma wounds can perpetuate cycles of dysfunction and pain, sabotaging your potential for genuine connection and emotional fulfillment.
Relationship trauma can infiltrate your life in many different ways. Recognizing the far-reaching effects of relational wounds is the first step towards healing and reclaiming agency over your emotional well-being and relational future. Regardless of how you are being affected by your relationship trauma, talking through your experience in a non-judgmental environment, exploring options for moving forward, learning healthy ways of interacting with others, and gaining new perspectives can be helpful.
