Inter-relational trauma can have a profound impact on how individuals approach and interact with relationships. In some cases, it can lead to a deep-seated mistrust of others and a reluctance to form close bonds or open up emotionally. This can make it difficult to form intimate relationships and maintain long-term connections with others. Trauma can also affect one’s ability to communicate effectively with others, especially when it comes to expressing emotions or setting boundaries. Individuals who have experienced trauma may struggle to articulate their needs and emotions, leading to misunderstandings and conflict in their relationships.
