Last week in Rooted we explored how trauma responses impact partnership dynamics, both our own trauma responses and our partner’s. A rich and vulnerable conversation that is still ongoing in the community. One of the questions that came up was: What does a healthy partnership look like?
A seemingly simple question, yet for someone with childhood trauma it can be very difficult to answer. Because if you did not feel safe growing up, as an adult you will not have a *felt* experience of what feeling safe with others *feels* like in your body and nervous system. You will not recognize it. You will miss red flags.
The same with boundaries; If you did not grow up with healthy boundaries being modelled for you (with alcohol, drugs, temper, emotions, your body, your responsibilities), navigating healthy boundaries as an adult can be confusing.
And the list goes on.
Learning embodied tools and practices to navigate your relationship with yourself and with others can shift the way you show up and relate and what you expect in relationships, in profound ways. These practices can help you stay deeply rooted in your body and inner calm, also when life is intense or overwhelming.
As I always say: It starts in the body.
