Show Notes
In this episode, we explore how childhood trauma affects adult relationships, and why the patterns you struggle with in intimacy, friendship, and connection often didn’t start in the present.
From attachment styles and nervous system responses to people-pleasing, avoidance, and fear of abandonment, we unpack how early relational wounds quietly shape the way you love, attach, and respond to others today.
By the end of this episode, you’ll:
Understand how childhood trauma shows up in adult relationships
Learn how early attachment experiences shape your attachment style today
Identify common trauma-based relationship patterns, including anxious, avoidant, and disorganised attachment
Recognise why your nervous system reacts so strongly in moments of conflict, distance, or intimacy
Begin separating past wounds from present relationships
Discover how healing childhood trauma can happen in relationship - not just alone
