Dating can be challenging for some people, especially those who have experienced traumatic losses, betrayal, or abuse in relationships.
Most people who have experienced interpersonal trauma work hard to heal their relational wounds, improve their sense of self, and make themselves emotionally available for that right person out there. Yet some residuals of their trauma symptoms can still be there, ready to trigger a range of thoughts and behaviors from dangerous impulses to paralyzing fear.
