When relational trauma exists, it can become difficult to form both old & new relationships
Relational wounds often spark from repeated experiences of emotional hurt, disconnection, or broken trust. Over time, these experiences shape how people relate, communicate, and protect themselves. Therapy can help you overcome the triggers that have kept you from feeling safe in relationships.

WHAT RELATIONAL THERAPY MEANS
Relational wounds develop through repeated emotional injuries in close relationships.
Relational wounds often form in early family relationships, past partnerships, or long standing relational dynamics where emotional needs were unmet or trust was broken. These experiences can shape how individuals interpret closeness, conflict, and vulnerability.
Over time, unresolved relational wounds may influence current relationships, leading to withdrawal, heightened sensitivity, or difficulty trusting others even when safety is present.
