Why You Might Struggle in Your Relationships

Unhealed emotional wounds, whether it is from being raised by emotionally unavailable parents, or experiencing heartbreak, betrayal or disappointment within your earliest relationships, may be the reason why you struggle in your current relationships. You may either have an anxious, avoidant or disorganized attachment style, you may feel anxious around others, avoid conflict, or fear expressing your feelings openly with others.

When we hear the word, "traumatized," we often think of someone who has been in a life or death situation, whether it's a natural disaster, an auto or plane crash, or being physically or sexually assaulted. These are known as "shock" or acute forms of trauma. However, there are other kinds of more subtle traumas that many people experience in their youth, and these events tend to fly under the radar and get overlooked, downplayed or dismissed. Yet these old emotional wounds can have negative, long-term effects on how a person thinks, feels and behaves when in a close relationship, including unwanted patterns that get repeated until those wounds are addressed and healed.

In my work with clients, I find that a great majority of issues, such as codependency, people pleasing, anxious/avoidant/disorganized attachment styles, anxiety, low self-worth, limiting beliefs and so on, mainly come from unhealed traumas.

In this free, online presentation, we will focus on developmental traumas and the lingering effects they can have on someone who has experienced them, and how working with a certified, clinical EFT practitioner can help you heal yourself and start having healthier relationships.

This presentation is being hosted by Paul J. Hermelin, a certified, clinical Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) practitioner accredited through EFT International. https://eftinternational.org/eft-practitioner/pjhermelin/
