#80: Can a relationship be too triggering to heal in?
from Embracing HER · host Nathalie Nimah
In this episode, I explore a question I get asked often and one that doesn’t have a one-size-fits-all answer. We’ll unpack how to discern whether a relationship is supporting your healing or quietly re-creating the very environment that wounded you in the first place.I talk about:The difference between new relational experiences and familiar childhood dynamics repeating themselvesHow often and how intensely you’re being triggered and why frequency matters just as much as depthWhat your nervous system state looks like inside the relationshipWhether both partners are actually willing and able to do the workAnd why “staying and pushing through” isn’t always the most healing choiceI also share personally about a relationship I had to step away from early on because it was too much for my nervous system at the time to heal within.This episode is an invitation to move beyond rigid ideas of “you should be able to heal in relationship” and instead develop discernment, self-trust, and nervous-system-informed choice.✨ Want personalised support?
