Hi everyone, I'm Todd Creager, and in this powerful episode, I dive deep into the four types of trauma that can significantly impact our ability to form and maintain healthy relationships. Drawing from my years of experience working with couples, I'll help you understand how abandonment, rejection, betrayal, and humiliation traumas shape our current relationships and what we can do to begin healing.

In this episode, you'll discover:

- How to identify the signs of these four traumas in your relationships and understand why you might be sabotaging your connections or struggling with intimacy

- Real-life examples from my practice that illustrate how early trauma manifests in adult relationships, from trust issues to fear of vulnerability

- Practical first steps toward healing, including how to become curious about your protective mechanisms instead of judging them

Whether you've experienced these traumas yourself or are in a relationship with someone who has, this episode provides valuable insights into why we react the way we do in our closest relationships. I'll share compassionate strategies for beginning the healing journey and moving toward more authentic, connected relationships.

Join me as we explore these important topics and take the first steps toward making your relationships safer, more fulfilling, and more authentic. Because everyone deserves to experience love without the weight of past trauma holding them back.
