Trauma bonds occur in narcissistic relationships. Intermittent validation, invalidation, gaslighting, and isolation are ways in which trauma bonds occur. Narcissists will draw a target in with flattery and mirroring and eventually begin to devalue them through mind games like gaslighting. Signs of a trauma bond are often deflected by a victim of narcissistic abuse, making it challenging to end toxic relationships. In this episode, Lisa A. Romano, Codependency and Narcissistic Abuse Recovery Coach, explains the ins and outs of trauma bonding.

A 'nice' narcissist is a vulnerable narcissist who may appear unassuming when you first meet them. They focus entirely on you when you first meet and mirror your best qualities to you, helping to secure your trust in them. Over time, a covert narcissist will use mind games you may not initially understand as a form of abuse or control. For instance, stonewalling can invalidate your emotions, needs, or desires to clear the air or get to the bottom of a relationship issue. In this episode, Lisa A. Romano, Codependency and Narcissistic Abuse Recovery Coach, helps us better understand how subtle invalidation is a form of covert abuse.
