7 Signs Of Unhealed Relationship Trauma

Unhealed relationship trauma is far deeper than you being relationship-challenged. The difference between trauma and stressful situations is subtle but important. Stressful situations end and leave fewer exit wounds than in traumatic situations. A traumatic situation involves a great deal of fear, terror, and powerlessness. The stress involved in a traumatic situation tends to be harsh and ongoing. Also, the after-effects of trauma tend to get worse over time. If you are wondering if what you experienced in your relationship was more traumatic than stressful, and whether you're dealing with unhealed relationship trauma, this video is for you.
The goal of this video is to build awareness on the topic of relationship trauma and abuse. If you feel someone could benefit from these videos, do consider sharing!

I am in a relationship with the best woman in the world - 21 years now. We have been married for 17 and we have three beautiful kids. I guess I can relate it to the traumatic memories fading, and I've replaced them with new wonderful memories. You will get better. I met my wife in 2000, so it took about five or six years before I was able to date again. Good luck, you got this!

    Relationships require trust and vulnerability. So no there is no way to avoid hurt in the future. However learning to love yourself and heal yourself so you are strong when walking into another relationship in the future means you will have the strength to walk away if you need to. Accepting what truly is and is not your in yoir control t is important , as well as knowing green amd red signs of relationship behaviors. All these cant protect you from hurt but can prepare you to handle the good and the bad and walk away from toxic relationships.

    My current girlfriend had a lot of bad experiences with previous ex-boyfriends, where they built up feelings of attachment in her and then ripped it away from her. Her last ex, in fact, managed to make her feel like she was in love with him, but then he never treated her like he felt the same. Almost never calling her (even when she needed him to), hardly returning the sentiment when it came to gifts of expressions of love, and even breaking up with her before they were supposed to be going on a big trip that she had been super excited for. Even now, my girlfriend always feels like she needs to apologize for every little thing she does, and she always talks about how she feels like I'm going to "abandon her" or "grow tired of her". There are more personal aspects that I've noticed relate to this video's information, but I've already shared enough of her story. I just really wish there was some way I could help her, but... as was stated in the video, she doesn't fully trust me even if we've known each other for so long. She does still try to talk to me sometimes, though, and I help comfort her through her episodes of sadness. It just pains me to see how her previous boyfriends hurt her this badly...

Especially when your love isn't returned either, even despite wanting to sort out any issues in the partnership. Some just aren't capable of forgiveness. Anyway, don't search for it.

    You have to grieve and forgive yourself. Getting there is hard and ongoing. But slowly as you do it helps. Support sites with others going through the same help a lot!! Forgiving yourself leads to learning to trust yourself. That is the one thing they did not hit on. After any physical or emotional trauma you fear the world , you mistrust yourself to see the signs of danger to keep yourself safe. It is those danger warnings that keep you stuck in fear response and physical stress teaars you up. You must find safety!! And eventually trust you can keep yourself safe. All this takes a really long time to establish and yet people think you should just get over it. But your body will not get over it until enough time for healing and proof is built up to feel safe. So the deeper the trauma the longer it takes, the bigger the support system the quicker you heal.

It took me a long time to pick myself back up after it ended. I am now in an incredible healthy relationship with my best friend of two years. I have moments where i get triggered but my partner is so easy to communicate to. I’ve noticed my ability to open up more and more to him and i owe that to him being patient and kind to me. Just know your past doesnt define you and that you can find someone who will love you with all of your triggers and past struggles. ❤️ ive never been so sure about a person and hope to build a future with him

I wasn't able to leave during those times because the ex would come into my work at random times(not purposely). Sometimes with their new partner which caused more anxiety. I dont know why it's so bad if it was almost YEARS ago and while not healthy it wasnt traditionally abusive, just toxic.

    my previous relationship has messed me up so badly that I experience all these symptoms. any smell that reminds me of the memories with him, song we used to listen to together, place and thing I remember him touching like a chair in my house just makes me stop in my tracks and remember everything so vividly and feel shame for not seeing the red flags sooner. he manipulated me with my emotional and financial situation, made me believe that he actually cared abt me so he could get what he wanted and when he did, he threw me away. two days after he told me he loved me for the last time, he told me he’d rather be single and be ‘free’. I still wonder if he actually felt something and got scared so he withdrew himself because how can someone fake everything he did? it’s unbelievable. thanks to this video, I’m able to get my thoughts sorted out better; so thank you for always posting such educational videos

    I was in school a while ago and I had some pretty good friends. I considered myself extroverted, and never really had any problems with anybody. My best friend, I'll call her Samantha, was who I spent all my time with. She was funny, cute, shared a lot of interests with me, and she was someone who I just really liked hanging out with. I'd crack jokes all the time, and I'd sometimes give her hugs. I really thought she liked talking to me as well. I was at home one day, after just getting back from an after-school activity. I looked at my phone, and saw that she had texted me. I got excited, because I liked talking to her. But it was not what I expected. Samantha had spent a lot of time typing out a message that took me around 4 minutes to read, but it basically said this: "Listen, I really don't like a lot of the things you do. They make me uncomfortable. I thought you'd understand that, but you seemed to ignore it when me and Hannah (other friend) gave you signals. I feel uncomfortable when you give me hugs, and when you make jokes about (topic). I don't hate you, but you might hate me after this." As I read it, I fell apart. I started crying because I had inflicted pain on someone.... I felt awful. I never realized what I had done was bad... but when I looked back on it, it made sense. I wrote a long apology back, sort of like this: "Oh my goodness! I'm so sorry. I never realized that you were uncomfortable. I should've known that I had crossed the boundary, I should've seen the line. But... I just feel really awful. I hope I can fix this. I can stop giving hugs and I'll not make any jokes. I just really enjoy being around you, and I should've just kept it at that. What can I do to fix this?" I got no response. I thought she had blocked me, or that she didn't want to talk to me. Either way, I assumed I was not wanted. I cried in bed, and I just felt like I was the most stupid person to ever exist. How had I not noticed? I really wished that she would've said something, anything about this before going ballistic on me. I would've fixed it if I had known. But now it was over. I just felt like I was a huge jerk. I banged my head on the wall and cut my hand with a knife as punishment. How could I have been such an a***ole? The next day I avoided her at all costs. She didn't try to talk to me or anything, but I wanted her to be as comfortable as possible. That meant that I would be completely out of her sight. I would stand in the opposite corner of the room, and I would take the other stairs that were further away. After a while, I began to doubt myself. What if all of my other friends felt this way too? Samantha had mentioned Hannah, so I avoided them both. But then I began to evaluate all of my relationships. I couldn't risk hurting anyone again. I avoided everybody, and stopped speaking with anyone. I wouldn't look at anyone, I wouldn't walk with anyone, I wouldn't sit with anyone. I had made the switch from extrovert to introvert. I dug myself into a hole and closed it. In time, I kind of recovered. I made some new friends, and I actually started to talk to people again. Now I'm doubting if I'm an introvert or extrovert. But I still feel like I'm walking between rat traps, even if my friends like me a lot. I can't really tell. I have to stay out of the boundaries, at any cost. I'll only do something if they do it first. I'll only give people hugs if they give me a hug, so I know it's okay with them. I'll only talk to people if they talk to me. I have to respect others' wishes. But when someone doesn't talk to me for a while, I begin to think that they are mad at me. I can't just ask, "Are you mad at me?" because then I'll looked like an attention-starved, self centered a***ole. So then I just wait. Until they talk to me again. Which sometimes they don't. So then I think they didn't like me, or that I made them uncomfortable. Sometimes I just like to keep to my own devices. If I don't talk to anyone, I can't make anyone uncomfortable. It's not that I don't like talking to people, it's just that I think I'd wreck something if I did. I'm just left to wonder if anybody really even wants to talk with me, if anyone likes me, if anyone thinks I'm worth more than a pebble. Anyways, if you read this, I'm sorry you had to read all that. But thanks.

    Another sad thing, is that relationship trauma doesn't have to be from an extreme circumstance, but we never talk about the smaller things. I was in a toxic relationship where our relationship was treated like a game. He rarely acknowledged it, until he wanted some personal attention. It almost felt like the relationship itself was a gaslight if that makes any sense. I could never pinpoint if anything was real and it was extremely taxing on me. When we had alone time it was as if we were in a relationship but nobody else could know, and I was always there for him but always doubted he'd be there for me. Our relationship was a tightrope and it caused a lot of emotional damage for me (doesn't help that it was my first ever relationship). It's been a few years since I spoke to him last, and I've been gaining some sense of self, but I have yet to be in a relationship since.

    that's because you need to care for yourself more. Other people reflect our own inner conflicts. Once you've realised this pattern, you can change things for the better. For example if your beloved doesn't show you any appreciation (even though you deserve it; esp. for good deeds) then it goes to show how little credit you give yourself for your own worth and commitment. He/she doesn't pay you attention? ...Well then you shouldn't be waiting for him/her. You need to do the things you love doing. With or without them. By making it your independent choice of whom you dedicate your energies. Not to forget that there's always going to be someone somewhere out there who will gladly appreciate your worth. Though first you need to go cold turkey on this toxic person and learn to direct all the attention, desires, needs, approval, and love towards yourself. Ideally... ignoring them and eventually they'll come back for you because they miss all that love you've been giving them. The thing the two of you have in common is that neither of you are willing/able to approve of yourselves internally. This dependency on externally given self-worth turns into an insidious downward spiral. The giver believes that they will 'get through' to other person with the power of their generous care and proving themselves worthy eventually, while the toxic receiver has no intention of reciprocating the care (but also doesn't want to lose their lively 'source'...) so they ignore them and feel secure by being delivered energy without any 'cost' on their end. They want to be loved but refuse to invest anything on their part. ...now what does that say about you and how you treat yourself? The 'other' person is basically mirroring a part of yourself. Your care and attention shouldn't get wasted into a black hole of nothingness... Your love and worth deserve to be acknowledged by you and only you. Anything or anyone external are a nice addition towards the awesomness you already are. All the reaching out to the 'other' person are poor attempts of you recognising your own self. Perhaps... you may heal by remembering all the goodness you invested into the wasteland of another by redirecting their wasteland to your own inner fruitful garden.

Examples include cases of child abuse, bullying, or domestic violence. Complex trauma: This results from exposure to multiple traumatic events.

    You don't even have to be separated from the person that caused this trauma. I've been in a relationship with the same woman for over 20 years, about 7 years ago she got cancer, and the whole dynamic of our relationship changed, as well as her personality. I knew to start 2013 we were going to be divorced before the year was out, by the end of the year I was scared she wouldn't live another few months. After her eventual, slow recovery, she was like a different person. We've been happily married for the last 5-6 years and I'm more invested than ever. But before? She was emotionally abusive in several different ways. I'm always surprised when I bring up the past at how well she responds to the things I have to talk about. It makes getting over my issues a lot easier. It's like being married to two different women.

    This is so absolutely true cuz I have experienced it. The amount of guilt I had prevented me from moving forward. Once I was taught to put the blame where it should be, I started to reason logically and slowly felt better. I was lucky to go to a year long Trauma group therapy and learn about what my body was doing with panic and anxiety attacks, fight flight or freeze not calming down naturally, and terrible night terrors. "The body remembers what the mind forgets" because brain goes into protection mode and can't handle the stress and needs to literally detox. Loved ones around me didn't understand what I was going through until recently. I'm able to talk about it now cuz I know what was going on, instead of feeling constant "What is wrong with me". I can share the video with another friend who went through the same thing

    I learned about sexual violence for university and as students, we have to complete these trainings once every fall semester. They classified 4 types of relationships: healthy, pressuring, coercing, and forceful. I realized that for the longest time my current relationship fell under the "pressuring" category, but with enough time we made it healthy again. Whenever I feel doubts or anxious about something, now I speak up about it.. the traumatic part was me breaking down and having panic attacks every time we would go through a painfully serious conversation in text (and often times we would misunderstand one another's intentions.) Sometimes people mistaken a closed off or emotionally unavailable person for one who's lying to them or using them. That might not be the case, it always helps to open up and talk.

    Thanks a lot for making this video. Every signs this video has said, I had experienced them way too much and even after i thought i was all good. It's now nearly two years and i have nothing to care about my ex anymore, i have gotten into a new relationship and it was unbelievable to know how should i and how can i be treated so properly, recently i commented on a few videos because im going through these all over again and i was so scared that i might be toxic to these people that i love. But after i asked for a time and confess my feelings, my partner listen, like he did when we first got together, and both of us know myself deeper. I just feel so relieved that this time, im having someone by my side and my family did not neglect me. I'm not letting myself drowning again and i worked and still working hard on it. I'm so gonna strive to heal, to let these amazing people know, how much i love them.

    This video so perfectly hit home for me.. I have been feeling every single one of these things and it's been so intense to the point where I wondered if I had some huge mental illness manifesting itself. In March I got sent home from college due to Covid and about a week prior I had a huge fallout with a person I was in a special type of relationship with and it ended with me being completely ousted and defamed by a bunch of people I knew there. At this point it feels like everything that came before was a movie, like the video said, and like all of my problems back then were nothing compared to the depersonalization, anxiety, and moments of total shutdown that I've been having since then. I wondered if maybe I ate some weird poisonous food that gave me a brain disease and made me start acting out like this, but it's comforting to know that this is just what people experience when relationships go really south and there is real damage done. Most importantly, it's comforting to know that it can be healed and one day I'll be back to normal.

    I'm grateful for videos like these because it brings people who'd really benefit from the comradery in the comments section together. I hope this blurb of a comment helps at least one person who reads it. ❤️ Earlier this year, I got myself out of two toxic "friendships" with two full-blown narcissists. This video really resonates with me, how losing my sense of self was by far the worst lingering effect of complex PTSD; caused by the perpetual gaslighting and delusions. I went no contact 6 months ago, thinking that I would have already moved on from the experiences at this point, but turns out that I need more time haha. Navigating relationships is challenging at the moment, but I realized that re-defining boundaries is a process. Talk to any narcissistic abuse survivor and you will quickly realize that they've mastered patience and resiliency. Healing takes as much time as you need it to, and I've never felt more free to re-discover who I am.

    Huh, this describes almost everything I've been going through. I've had lately memory issues, brain fog, anxiety, stress, it's been harder to concentrain, and I'm constantly waiting for the next bad thing to happen. Every received phone call, message or e mail I'm almost terrified of, fearing there's more bad news coming. These few songs got me crying cause of the memories attached to them. It's always been hard for me to trust others due to traumas I've experiensed in my past, but in this case I did trust him anyway and got lied to and hurt, which makes it even worse.

    It's been a year.. I still don't wanna date because I'm afraid of getting hurt eventually.. and I still think of "How could he" During our relationship, while I kept forgiving and trying to make it work, he kept stoic. I hate that I ever tried. Should've left 3 years before when he slapped me. I hate that I was so naive. He got a girlfriend in less than 14 days. It's been a years since we broke up.. and a year since they started dating. What hurts me the most is he said he loved me and won't ever hurt me the day before he dumped me.. he could just have told me. I got blindsided. I hate him.

    A few months ago i left my first relationship. It lasted four years and I'm pretty sure i was groomed into doing things i didn't want to do, as i was only 14 when it started and they were 17,and i was rushed into a lot of things too quick. For four years i thought the world of this person and ignored everything they did that made me uncomfortable. At the end of it all, they pushed me and a friend into a poly relationship with them (neither the friend or i felt fully secure about that). Time skip to now and i learn from said friend, whom is now broken up with the ex, that during those four years they cheated on me frequently. Since my experiences with this person I've developed insecurity in my current relationship, ranging from anxiety about not being enough to having a full-blown panic attack meltdown at the end of our first date. Fortunately my partner knows all of this and is incredibly kind and understanding, helping me navigate this newfound trauma as i continue to process it. Please, if your partner ever makes you uncomfortable, talk to them about it. Be assertive. Be honest with yourself. Tell them how you feel.

    I have past relationships trauma but not from an ex. From a best friend. He was the most important person in my life and I loved him so dearly.. but one day he just... left. It crushed me and all my friends thought I should have gotten over him after a few months but the pain didn't go away. It lingered for years afterwards. I had physical problems like going to sleep because I thought something bad happened every time I slept so I kept myself up for days. I mourned my friend as though he had died and I used to have panic attacks... I still have triggers when it comes to stuff like that but six years later I'm doing much better. I'm healing myself and my boyfriend of three years has been a tremendous help. Trauma sucks and I wish more people understood that there's physical, mental and emotional trauma and they're all equally as difficult to live with. I hope everyone finds peace within themselves who've gone through similar trauma

    Throughout my life, I never thought I would enter into a relationship that is very toxic despite there being no signs of abuse or toxicity until the end. I never thought after being with someone could cause so much damage to me especially the trauma they insert into me. It's been four months since I escaped from them however my mind keeps playing the events like a movie. A movie that I can't get out of my head especially when I sleep at night. Whenever I hear my friends talk about them I feel a sense of dread and anxiety that is building up. There are moments I still think about them and want to go back to them because I still have deep feelings about them but deep down if I go back I will be in a state of their control again.

It also wonderfully expresses what having true love enter your life can do to help to heal. The official video is beautiful and I will say the couple dancing in the end touched me deeply.
