Therapy for Relationship Trauma
Many of us long to have a deep connection with another person, but for some that relationship only lasts for so long before you find out the person you fell in love with isn’t as healthy as you thought. Sarcastic statements turn into cruel remarks, and insults replace pet names. They may have become manipulative, causing you to doubt what is really happening, or maybe they give you the silent treatment when they don’t get their way. Regardless of what your situation looks like, therapy is often a helpful place to start learning how to set boundaries with those we love.
Some common symptoms of relationship trauma include:
Feeling guilty
Blaming yourself
Difficulty holding your partner responsible
Feelings of isolation
Being easily triggered by reminders of your partner
Nightmares
Difficulty trusting yourself
Wanting to jump into a new relationship
Here’s how I can help:
Using a combination of therapies, including EMDR and Parts Work you can begin to heal and reconnect with who you were before the relationship began, or better yet, connect with parts of yourself you haven’t even discovered yet.
