Love After Trauma: Healing From Toxic Relationships and Dating Again

from Growing with Sol · host Marisol Moran

I read a Threads post asking people to share the romantic thing they've always wanted but never had. I went from "oh that's relatable" to "this got me right in the trauma and I need to stop reading before I cry." We're all apparently just very traumatized from past relationships - and dating after romantic trauma is a mindfuck.Here's what we're exploring about love after trauma: The two paths after a toxic relationship: keep dating or pull back completely (why healing matters either way) Why healthy relationships can feel terrifying (the screaming goat is your trauma) How triggers are information from your body, not nuisances messing up your life Strategies for handling triggers in real-time (texting, dates, and reminding yourself you're safe) Why leaning on your trusted friends is essential when navigating dating againFrom understanding that everything feels triggering when someone is genuinely kind to recognizing that you don't have to respond to texts immediately when you're triggered, this episode validates how tough dating after trauma really is. Your triggers aren't there to mess things up - they're providing information about what you need (slow down, get more info, or leave).Subscribe. Share. Remember that dating after trauma is tough but not hopeless.Small steps, big healing. Keep growing! ✨Join the conversation! How are you navigating dating after trauma?
