When clients ask me how they can heal after experiencing prolonged relational trauma, the first thing I often ask is one of the simplest, yet also the most complex:
What sets your soul on fire with enthusiasm? What do you love to do? Often I’m met with blank stares, and I understand—prolonged relational trauma has a tendency of muffling personal needs. When the individual you trusted the most turns out to be not only untrustworthy but unsafe and even toxic, your world disappears. It’s not merely shattered—it feels as if it has completely vanished, because all you thought to be true has turned out to be false.
