The Impact of grief and trauma on Relationships
As relationship therapists, we understand that grief is trauma, and it doesn’t only affect you as an individual; it also impacts your relationships. It can strain communication, alter dynamics, and bring unexpected challenges. Whether it’s the need for more space, the struggle to articulate your needs, or the challenge of understanding each other’s grieving styles, grief can be a complex dance in relationships.
