Caught in a trap…
If you’ve been in an unhealthy relationship, you know how it feels to be tangled in a web of confusion and turmoil.
It doesn’t matter if it’s with an intimate partner, a parent, a child, a colleague, or a friend… it’s soul-crushing.
It can be physical, but more often, it’s subtle psychological, emotional, financial, or sexual manipulation or coercion.
The constant cycle of idealization, devaluation, rejection, and isolation leaves you in perpetual doubt and despair.
The scars and bruises are deep and painful…
… even if you can’t see them.
Relational trauma can have a profound effect on your life: Your physical health, executive functioning (e.g., your working memory and ability to plan, organize, and complete tasks), and ability to form healthy relationships are affected because relational trauma undermines your ability to trust and your sense of reality.
The gaslighting and chaos leave you questioning who you are and what you are worth. Being in a dynamic with a person who has narcissistic tendencies can lead you to feel faulty and less than, so you’re always doubting or second-guessing yourself… or constantly apologizing.
You’re left unsettled, anxious, depressed, exhausted, and feeling not good enough.
