190. How Childhood Abuse and Trauma Affects Your Adult Relationships

Everything from your sex life, to troubles with your boss at work, to your ability to trust and be open with your partner can be affected by abuse or trauma from your childhood. The good news is that the challenges you face today don’t have to be permanent! Today I’m breaking down what childhood abuse includes (you’d be amazed how many people I’ve worked with don’t even realize that what happened to them as a kid is actually some type of abuse or trauma), why and how childhood trauma affects relationships now and, as always, some resources to get the help you need.
