Define Interpersonal Relationships: A Therapist Explains

 

To define interpersonal relationships is really to understand how we connect with others beneath the surface. Have you ever noticed how a single conversation can suddenly shift everything?

In this video, Dr. Amanda Pasciucco breaks down how to define interpersonal dynamics through a trauma-informed lens, showing how vulnerability, emotional safety, and unresolved experiences shape the way we relate. You’ll learn why some relationships grow stronger while others slowly fall apart, and how more intentional communication can change the way you connect with the people closest to you. Stay until the end for insights you can start using right away.

This episode also goes deeper into defining interpersonal patterns by looking at nervous system responses, attachment styles, and boundaries that quietly influence our interactions. You’ll see how old wounds show up in present-day relationships, why conflict can feel so intense, and how trust and safety are built through repair and consistency.

Using real-life examples from friendships, family dynamics, and romantic relationships, Dr. Pasciucco makes complex ideas feel relatable—helping you notice your patterns without judgment and choose connection with awareness instead of habit.
