Trauma bonding happens when an abuser uses manipulation tactics and cycles of abuse to make the victim feel dependent on them for care and validation, causing a strong attachment or bond. This often occurs in romantic narcissistic relationships, but can also occur in families, friendships, or work relationships. -Erica Laub

As I was posting this to my story, I was thinking I should totally be dropping bombass Playlists to accompany my episodes!!! I just might do that but, my song of the week is "Sober" the acoustic version by Mahalia. Time to be sober and leave behind toxic, trauma induced relationships!
