Relationship trauma refers to the emotional, psychological, or physical distress caused by negative experiences within intimate relationships. It can arise from various forms of abuse, betrayal, abandonment, or unhealthy dynamics between partners, friends, or family members. This trauma affects the individual's sense of safety, trust, self-worth, and emotional well-being, often having long-lasting effects that can influence future relationships. If you have experienced relationship trauma and feel stuck or unable to move forward due to self-doubt, mistrust, fears of intimacy, or other after-effects of your experience, healing is possible. You can find yourself again and move toward meaningful, connected relationships.
