How Past Trauma Affects Your Relationships and What to Do About It with Dr. Ray Doktor


Listen Later

Have you ever wondered why you keep stuck in the same negative relationship patterns? 
In today’s episode, I sit down with Dr. Ray Doktor, a life and relationship coach, to discuss how past trauma, big or small, can hijack your ability to feel safe, loved, and connected. We dive deep into the science of how our brains, particularly the amygdala, trigger stress responses that sabotage intimacy and trust. 
Dr. Ray shares actionable steps to heal emotional wounds, break free from self-sabotage, and empower yourself in love. Plus, we talk about practical ways to rewire your beliefs about relationships so you can finally attract the love and connection you deserve.
Whether you’re struggling with trust or trauma or simply want a better understanding of relationship dynamics, this episode is for you. Dr. Ray also shares exercises from his book All It Takes Is One and a free masterclass designed to help you transform your love life.

Key Questions Discussed:

  • How does the amygdala affect trust and safety in relationships, especially in terms of libido and intimacy?

  • What role does trauma, both large and small, play in self-sabotage and relationship dynamics?

  • What are the signs that someone is self-sabotaging in relationships, and how can they identify these patterns?

  • How can people break out of negative patterns, heal from trauma, and improve their relationships?

  • How can one differentiate between legitimate relationship concerns and self-sabotage?
