The article explores how complex trauma, characterized by repeated traumatic experiences often rooted in relationships, distorts individuals' perception of time. Such trauma disrupts coherence between past, present, and future, and can lead to emotional cycles where individuals unconsciously seek to resolve past pains. This disconnection stems from childhood traumas, affecting one's overall sense of self. Though their ability to cope is severely challenged, therapy offers a path to integration, helping individuals reconnect fragmented memories into a cohesive narrative that promotes healing and a clearer identity.
Trauma can distort time, making past experiences feel present and creating cycles of emotional repetition.

Fragmented trauma memories can disrupt our ability to connect past, present, and future as a cohesive story.
Therapy helps restore continuity by integrating past experiences into a clearer, more coherent sense of self.
