When Good Connection Feels Dangerous: Unraveling Trauma's Quiet Sabotage of Love and Intimacy
Published 5 months ago
Description
Explores how unresolved trauma can profoundly shape a person’s experience of love and intimacy. It highlights that trauma is not limited to dramatic, isolated events but can also stem from subtler, ongoing experiences like emotional neglect or persistent criticism. Five common challenges are identified, including confusing emotional regulation with repression, overintellectualizing pain as a form of self-protection, fearing the experience of care, and overvaluing control because vulnerability feels dangerous. The text also emphasizes that unfinished grief can undermine healthy relationships, noting that genuine healing requires making peace with past losses rather than simply analyzing them.
