If you’ve ever found yourself unable to leave a relationship despite knowing it’s harmful, you may be experiencing something called a trauma bond. These powerful emotional attachments can form in abusive relationships, making it incredibly difficult to walk away even when you know you should. Understanding what trauma bonds are and how they develop is an important first step toward breaking free and reclaiming your sense of self.

Check out our new blog about trauma bonds to gain a deeper understanding of them: https://selectcounseling.com/trauma-bonds-how-they-form-and-why-theyre-hard-to-break/

Parenting a teenager can feel like steering a small boat through unpredictable storms—the waters of adolescence are often choppy, and the weather can change without warning. While mood swings and boundary-testing are natural waves in this journey, sometimes darker clouds gather, hinting at deeper struggles beneath the surface. Recognizing the difference between passing squalls and signs of distress is crucial. By spotting these warning lights early, you can be the safe harbor your teen needs during these critical years.

Trauma can leave deep emotional scars that sometimes lurk under the surface for years. These emotional reactions (such as anxiety, flashbacks, nightmares, or even headaches and stomach issues) can seem to come out of nowhere and feel completely overwhelming. If you’ve experienced this, you’re not alone. Fortunately, there are therapies that can help, and one of the most well-researched and effective is eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR).

But how exactly does EMDR reduce the emotional intensity tied to traumatic experiences? Read our new blog to understand how it works and why it’s helped so many people reclaim their peace.

Infidelity rocks the very foundation of your relationship and your sense of self. Whether you’re the one who was betrayed or the one who strayed, the emotional fallout can be devastating. While you might think of recovery from infidelity as a step-by-step process, the reality is much messier.

Healing rarely follows a predictable timeline. There are ups, downs, setbacks, and breakthroughs—and that’s okay.

When you’ve uncovered a betrayal, the initial response is often a mix of shock, rage, grief, and numbness. In those early days, everything can feel like too much. People in this stage often ask themselves, “How did this happen?” “What else don’t I know?” “Can I ever trust again?”
