Helping you recover from the effects of Relational Trauma
Relational trauma, whether rooted in childhood or adult relationships, can shape how we see ourselves and relate to those around us.
Did you grow up with caregivers who were dismissive, self-absorbed, or emotionally unavailable?
Have you experienced similar dynamics in adult relationships, where you’ve felt unheard and unseen like your needs don’t matter?
These painful experiences—whether in childhood or adulthood—can shape how you see yourself and connect with others. Over time, they may leave you feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or disconnected.
You're not alone
Relational trauma happens within the context of relationships, often through repeated emotional wounds—being dismissed, rejected, or feeling unsafe with those who were meant to support you. This hurtful experiences can lead to deep self-doubt, emotional ups and downs, or difficulty trusting others. But these patterns don’t have to define you. Therapy can offer a safe, supportive space to explore your experiences, build emotional resilience, and reconnect with your sense of self.
You don’t have to navigate this on your own.
Relational Trauma has profound repercussions on your present life and can lead to...
- Having difficulty regulating your emotions, thinking, and behaviour
- Developing rigid psychological defences for self-protection
- Being hypervigilant, anxious, and easily triggered
- Loss of trust and unresolved grief
- Depression, confusion, and shame
- Feeling disconnected and engaging in high-risk behaviours
- Repeating similar painful cycles in your life
- Boundary issues in relationships
- Unexplained physical symptoms
