Hi, I’m Harris (they/them), founder of The Centre for Childhood Trauma Healing. In this blog, we’re going to explore a path towards healing and transformation. If you’re a trauma survivor who has found themselves trapped in a cycle of toxic relationships, you’re not alone. But I want you to know there is a way out, a way towards healthy love and companionship.
Understanding Trauma and Toxic Relationships
Trauma survivors often find themselves repeating the same patterns in their relationships. It’s not your fault; it’s a consequence of the emotional wounds we carry. These wounds can affect our attachment and communication in relationships, leading us into the arms of toxic partners. But healing is possible, and it begins with understanding the signs of attachment trauma in relationships.
Breaking the Cycle
I’ve been where you are, caught in the frustrating web of toxic relationships. It can feel like a never-ending struggle, but it doesn’t have to be that way. In my video, I share the concepts that helped me break free from these cycles. I discuss the relationships that were instrumental in my healing journey, offering hope to others who may be facing the same challenges.
You Are Not Alone
I want you to know that you are not alone on this journey. As trauma survivors, it’s easy to judge ourselves too harshly for the choices we’ve made and the relationships we’ve been in. But it’s essential to understand that it’s not your fault. You are complete and whole just as you are. Your past doesn’t define your worth.
The Path to Healing
It’s okay to long for more. It’s okay to desire beautiful, safe, and healthy companionship. We all yearn for someone to build a life with. In my video, I share how these desires can become a reality. I’ll guide you through a path to healing, where you can learn how to choose and maintain healthy relationships.

I invite you to watch my video, where I share my personal experiences and insights on healing from trauma and building healthy relationships. The video delves into the concept of attachment and trauma in relationships, shedding light on the signs to watch out for. You’ll also discover practical steps to break free from toxic relationship patterns.
