💔➡️❤️ Healing After Abuse Affects New Relationships
Healing from an abusive relationship doesn’t end when the relationship ends.
Unresolved trauma can follow you into your next relationship through attachment patterns and emotional triggers. 🧠💬
Attachment theory may show up as:
• 🔗 Anxious attachment — fear of abandonment, needing constant reassurance
• 🧊 Avoidant attachment — emotional distance, shutting down during conflict
• ⚡ Trauma bonding — confusing intensity with love
• 🛡️ Hypervigilance — always waiting for the next problem
✨ The good news? Attachment patterns can change with therapy and healthy support.
