Episode 3 - Unpacking the Trauma Bond - Why It's So Hard to Leave
Leaving an abusive relationship isn’t just about walking away. For many survivors, it means breaking free from a powerful emotional attachment called a trauma bond.
In this episode of Breaking the Silence, we explore how trauma bonds form, what keeps survivors emotionally hooked, and the first steps toward healing. Through Maya’s story, we unpack the psychological dynamics that can make even toxic love feel like safety.
If you’ve ever asked yourself, “Why do I stay?” or struggled to understand someone else’s pain, this episode brings clarity, compassion, and hope.
If you or someone you love needs support, contact the National Domestic Violence Hotline at 1-800-799-SAFE (7233) or text “START” to 88788.
You are never alone.
