Someone I respect and trust greatly has said that a relationship with a dynamic is not healthy, especially for a trauma survivor, and can’t last long term because one person will be constantly pleasing the other and in doing so will be compromising who they are, what they want and/or their needs.
That has been their experience. However, I have found it easier to maintain my boundaries in my interactions, so far. I have found it healing in a lot of ways because I am listening to my gut more and don’t compromise on my core values.
So I’m curious as to the experiences of those currently living the dynamic in their relationship. I appreciate anything you may be willing to share.
