Relational trauma refers to experiences of chronic and severe interpersonal harm, such as childhood abuse, neglect, intimate partner violence, or betrayal by a close relationship partner. While relational trauma can have detrimental effects on individuals' well-being, there is emerging evidence suggesting that some individuals may experience post-traumatic growth following such experiences. Understanding the role of interpersonal relationships in facilitating post-traumatic growth among individuals who experienced relational trauma could provide valuable insights for therapeutic interventions and support systems. This study aims to explore the role of interpersonal relationships in promoting post-traumatic growth among individuals who have experienced relational trauma. It seeks to investigate the specific relational factors that contribute to post-traumatic growth and how these factors interact with individual characteristics and coping strategies.
