10 Red Flags of Unresolved Relationship Drama
Unprocessed trauma can wreak havoc on our psychological, emotional, and physical health.
Think about it: many people who have faced adversity may not even realize that their unhealed wounds are shaping their thoughts, feelings, and choices, especially in friendships and romantic relationships.
Instead, they often find themselves magnetically attracting toxic individuals who reflect and reinforce their trauma. It’s like they’re stuck on a merry-go-round, repeatedly picking the same kind of partner who echoes their past pain.
If left unrecognized, these patterns can resurface time and again, dragging old wounds into every new relationship.

If you grew up in an unpredictable environment, it’s no wonder you might struggle with calmness in your relationships. The norm for you may have been chaos, so when a relationship lacks that drama, it feels suspiciously off. You might find yourself stirring the pot to test your partner’s commitment or triggering conflict as a misguided way to validate your fears. It’s a cycle that’s tough to escape.
