Trauma occurs in the context of relationship - either someone was there to help you feel safe in a difficult moment that your body perceived as threatening, or you felt like you had to suffer alone. Therefore, when we find ourselves being overly anxious in our current relationships, we are actually re-enacting fear that is deeply embedded in our nervous system based on previous events.

Through processing traumatic events and developing a healthier relationship with yourself, you will likely find that situations that created massive unrest in your nervous systems, causing you to spiral into reactive anxiety, suddenly have much less charge. A sense of ease, confidence, and freedom in relationships can provide the safety and love necessary for you to step into the person you truly are.
