A history of intimate partner violence can hinder trust and attachment in future relationships, making it vital for partners to foster a safe and supportive culture.
Individuals who have experienced IPV often carry heightened vigilance towards conflict and criticism, requiring patience and understanding from their current partners.
Creating shared meaning around trauma and attachment injuries is crucial for couples, as it helps to establish trust and mitigates the impacts of past violence.
Recognizing behaviors typical of past abusive relationships—such as criticism, control, and intimidation—can empower partners to build healthier interactions going forward.
