In this episode, I delve into the profound impact of trauma bonds on individuals. I share a story of a client who grappled with a toxic and abusive relationship, shedding light on how trauma bonds can keep people trapped in painful situations. I explain how the mind often copes by avoiding the very issues that trouble us, even when it means running into the arms of what scares us.

The client's detachment from her traumatic experiences is explored, and her avoidance behaviors, such as deflecting, criticizing, or normalizing, are discussed. I underline the significance of recognizing these patterns in oneself and the need to address them, for healing and growth.

I emphasize the importance of seeking professional support to navigate the complexities of trauma bonds and the difficult questions they bring, like, "Does this person love me?" or "Did I mean anything to them?" These questions indicate the importance of addressing the relationship's impact and seeking help in a safe, supportive environment.

Ultimately, the goal is to break free from the cycle of trauma bonds, enabling individuals to heal and preventing them from running into the same issues in future relationships. By understand
