Listen "The Binary Trap: Why Your Partner's Childhood Trauma Can Make Them the Tormentor Three Years Later"
Episode Synopsis
Outlines how childhood victimization can shape adult romantic dynamics in troubling ways. It explains that a person who endured neglect, humiliation, or denial of their reality while growing up may initially seem sympathetic in a new relationship. However, over time, they may unconsciously replicate their past by switching roles—from victim to perpetrator—placing their partner in the position they once occupied themselves. This reversal can manifest through cold emotional withdrawal, inconsistent behavior, or biting ridicule, echoing the harm they once suffered. The piece stresses that breaking free from this cycle requires not only recognizing the underlying pattern but also making the deliberate choice to inhabit a third role: that of the nurturer, committed to offering care and healing instead of perpetuating pain.You can listen and download our episodes for free on more than 10 different platforms:https://linktr.ee/life_notesProduced by:https://www.podcaistudio.com/
