Скачать или смотреть A Therapist's Perspective | on how relationships foster healing

This video is not intended as advice, nor is it about whether you should stay in your current relationship or pursue one. Instead, it's a reflection on intimate relationships — their healing power, and how we can elevate our relational intelligence to form healthier bonds.

I recently received a comment along the lines of, “why can’t love just be love?” (which I deeply wish for too). But for many of us who have experienced CPTSD or early childhood trauma, love and relationships often feel far more complicated. When we don’t have a clear sense of what healthy love should look or feel like, making navigating relationships very difficult.

My goal with this video is to shed light on why we may have ambivalence about relationships. But also empower you to know that relationships can foster healing. And that by understanding our patterns and pathological ways of relating, we can break the cycle of toxicity and move towards true intimacy.
