Lesson Overview

2.36 – Understanding How Trauma Impacts Communication: Trauma leaves invisible imprints that affect how people speak, listen, and respond. Past pain can cause hypervigilance, silence, or emotional withdrawal. Understanding trauma’s effect helps replace frustration with empathy. It reminds partners that reactions are often protective, not personal. Patience, calm tone, and reassurance become vital tools for communication. When safety is prioritized, healing can occur through dialogue. Recognizing trauma responses encourages gentleness instead of judgment. Compassionate communication becomes a form of recovery, turning fear into trust one conversation at a time.
