In this episode we explored how unresolved trauma can manifest as commitment issues in various aspects of life, including relationships, career, and personal development. The conversation covered how trauma responses (fight, flight, freeze, fawn) often lead to avoidance behaviors and difficulties in maintaining long-term commitments. Practical steps for recognizing and overcoming these challenges were discussed.

Key Takeaways:

• Trauma can distort decision-making and impact the ability to commit.

• Signs of Commitment Issues Linked to Trauma: Examples include frequent breakups, fear of emotional closeness, and difficulty discussing future plans.
• Healthy Commitments vs. Trauma-Driven Attachments: True healthy relationships are built on mutual trust and patience, not fear and trauma.
