New relationships and connections can be so fun and exciting, but sometimes there is a voice in the back of your head reminding you of your past. Unfortunately, a lot of us have experienced trauma and it can be daunting to approach the topic in a new connection. Learning how to navigate this complicated history while dating can be extremely overwhelming. Timing is everything, for you and your partner.

Today, we are joined by Carm from Girls Gotta Heal. She's here to help us understand how to protect yourself when opening up to a new connection, understanding if this is the right person to give your trust to, and how to ultimately trust yourself again. You're a growing person who deserves to feel loved and to love after trauma. We just hope we can help!
