Description
Trauma, especially in childhood, creates difficulties with attachments and interpersonal relationships. Attachment wounds can themselves become traumatic as they start to leave lasting difficulties in all of our relationships, nowhere more so than in our romantic relationships, where arguably the stakes can be highest.
So can we ever have a truly great, safe and healthy relationship if we have trauma and attachment wounds? This session answers that question with a message of hope, and suggests a path from relationship difficulties that cause failure to sustainable and incredible success for those who still suffer from the ongoing effects of trauma and attachment issues.
