Traumatic bonding is a strong emotional attachment between an abused person and his or her abuser, formed because of the cycle of domestic violence.
If you are in a trauma bond, I believe you saw the absolute best and the absolute worst of your partner. I am also sure his best was really good. I am sure it was sweet, kind, and raw. When you say you know who they really are inside, I know you mean it.
But when we are in trauma, we are not completely in reality.
A trauma bond convinces you-you are in love with your abuser. You will feel like he is your soulmate. That the mistreatment is not that bad. That he really loves you despite this mistreatment. That he means his apologies. That when he says he is trying to change, he is, and you are actually not noticing any of the changes he’s made.
This episode focuses on what a Trauma Bond is and how you can heal from it.
