Opis

This book explores how childhood trauma doesn't stay in the past-it lives in the way you approach intimacy, set boundaries, interpret conflict, and experience emotional safety in adult relationships. It examines the patterns beneath relationship anxiety, avoidance, people-pleasing, and emotional reactivity, reframing these as adaptive strategies your younger self developed to survive difficult relational dynamics.Rather than pathologizing trauma responses or promising complete healing, this book invites you to recognize how early experiences with caregivers created templates for connection that still operate automatically. It explores what happens when your nervous system learned that love meant unpredictability, abandonment, enmeshment, or emotional neglect-and how those lessons shape who you choose, how you communicate needs, and when you withdraw or cling.Through psychological insight into attachment trauma, relational patterns, and nervous system responses to intimacy, this book offers compassionate understanding of why certain relationship dynamics feel simultaneously familiar and painful. It examines the difference between repeating childhood patterns unconsciously and making conscious choices about relationships once you see the template clearly. The goal isn't erasing the past-it's recognizing its influence clearly enough to choose differently now.

Your relationship patterns aren't random-they're your childhood survival strategies still running, showing you exactly what your younger self learned about love, safety, and whether people stay.
