"Past trauma has the ability to influence your current relationships via negative assumptions, thoughts, feelings and reactions. You may find yourself automatically being overwhelmed by emotions or wanting to respond to your mate based on the hurtful situations that you have experienced with other people. This can be very unfair to your partner and unhealthy in a relationship because it restricts you from developing the trust that is essential to the success of the relationship." In Episode 5, Dr Drea discusses triggers and how unhealed past trauma can negatively impact our responses to our mates. She shares a recent situation from her own life, walking listeners through her own process of managing her emotions. She also offers insight on attachment styles and anger in the Black community.
