What is relational trauma?
Unlike “big T” trauma, relational trauma is typically quiet. It doesn’t come from one catastrophic event, but grows out of repeated misattunement, inconsistency, neglect, criticism, or boundary violations in close relationships. Over time, these experiences can shape how we see ourselves and what we learn to expect from others.
EMDR therapy can benefit what is often referred to as Big "T" trauma, what we may typically think of as traumatic (e.g., car accident, childhood abuse, domestic violence, sexual assault, combat, etc.), and Little "t," trauma, which may look like experiencing neglect from caregivers, being bullied, loss of significant relationships, and other relational trauma. EMDR can support in bringing healing to both and help you feel more grounded in your life, reducing issues such as anxiety, depression, and low self-esteem.
