Healing Relational Trauma
Relational trauma can leave you feeling broken, powerless, and disconnected.
Betrayal, neglect, abuse, and other deeply painful experiences in close relationships—whether with parents, partners, caregivers, or friends—can take a toll on your mental health and affect your ability to form healthy relationships moving forward.
At Ruby House, we understand the profound and lasting effects of relational trauma. We are passionate about providing a safe and supportive space where you can process your experiences, understand their impact, and begin your journey toward healing.
Relational trauma often manifests as:
Unstable emotional patterns
Anxiety or depression
Dependency or unhealthy coping behaviors
Dysfunctional relationship dynamics
Dissociation or feeling disconnected from reality
Lack of self-confidence
Feeling guilt or shame
Perfectionism
Relational trauma alters how you view yourself and your relationships, often leading to struggles
with trust, boundaries, and intimacy. If this resonates with your experience, know that healing is
Possible.
We specialize in evidence-based therapies to help you process relational trauma, including:
Internal Family Systems (IFS) Therapy: Exploring and healing internal emotional dynamics.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): Identifying and reshaping unhealthy thought patterns.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) Therapy: Processing and releasing traumatic memories.
Through these methods, we’ll help you identify harmful relational patterns, develop healthy boundaries, and rediscover your sense of self.
Relational trauma doesn’t only affect your past—it influences how you navigate life today.
Research shows that approximately 80% of individuals with mental health concerns have
experienced some form of relational trauma, whether in childhood or adulthood.
Unexplained symptoms such as anxiety, depression, anger, substance abuse, isolation, or self-
harm often trace back to unresolved trauma.
By addressing the root causes of these challenges, our personalized therapy plans aim to help you process your pain and move forward into a life
filled with hope and connection.
Relational trauma occurs within close relationships and involves betrayal, neglect, or abuse from someone you trust. Unlike other forms of trauma, relational trauma disrupts your sense of safety, self-worth, and ability to form healthy relationships.
Common signs include trust issues, difficulty setting boundaries, low self-esteem, emotional dysregulation, and struggles with intimacy. Therapy can help you understand how these symptoms connect to past trauma and give you tools to heal.
Trauma-focused approaches like EMDR and IFS are particularly effective in helping people process and overcome relational trauma.
