The impact of trauma on intimacy and trust in a relationship can be significant. Trauma can create barriers to intimacy as individuals may have difficulty opening up, being vulnerable, or feeling safe with their partner. Trust can also be affected, as past trauma can lead to fear of betrayal or abandonment. Communication may become strained, and emotional closeness may be challenging to achieve. Seeking support from a therapist or counselor can help navigate these challenges and rebuild intimacy and trust in the relationship.
