WHAT IS RELATIONAL TRAUMA?
Understanding relational trauma
Trauma can be categorized into types based on its nature and impact. When we hear the word trauma it’s easy to think of the more obvious definition, but trauma comes in many different forms and not all traumatic memories or experiences are the same. Different types of trauma can at times be thought of Relational Trauma, Little “t” Trauma, and Big “T” Trauma. By understanding these differences, we can better grasp the diverse ways in which trauma affects people and how to support those who have experienced it.
Relational trauma, also known as attachment trauma, can manifest in various forms. However typically relational trauma occurs in consistent, long-term experiences of emotional, psychological, or physical abuse, neglect, or instability within significant relationships. These relationships may include family, romantic relationships, partners, caregivers, or close friends.
