You are the best judge of when it feels healthy to share your history of emotional trauma in a relationship. While some may want to be open early on, others may choose to wait until they have a better sense of what support looks like from their partner. Some signals that it might be safe include seeing support, trust, and empathy in your relationship. Sharing can be an opportunity to talk with your partner and identify your emotional needs, boundaries, communication styles, and talk about how you can resolve conflict together.
