Trauma and Relationships
Trauma can shape how people trust, attach, argue, withdraw, set boundaries, and respond to conflict. Some people become highly guarded. Others fear abandonment, over-explain, people-please, or feel overwhelmed by intimacy. Relationship patterns that seem confusing in the present often make more sense in the context of trauma.
Therapy can help people understand these patterns with less shame and create more secure ways of relating.
