Trauma often manifests in relationships, particularly in the Black community, where generational pain rooted in systemic oppression continues to impact individuals. Understanding Trauma Languages®—how trauma influences behavior in relationships—can lead to deeper self-awareness and healing. By recognizing these patterns, couples can communicate more effectively, break generational cycles, and create healthier, more loving partnerships.
