Trauma Bonds: What They Are and Why They Happen


Listen Later

Are you stuck in a toxic relationship but can't seem to break free? In this episode, we're diving deep into trauma bonds—what they are, why they happen, and how they keep you emotionally trapped in unhealthy dynamics. Trauma bonding is often mistaken for love, but in reality, it's a cycle of emotional manipulation, psychological attachment, and intermittent reinforcement that keeps you hooked, even when you know it's harming you.

We'll explore: ✔️ The science behind trauma bonds—how your brain gets wired to crave the highs and lows of toxic relationships.

✔️ Why trauma bonds feel so powerful and addictive—and why logic alone isn't enough to break them.

✔️ Signs you're in a trauma bond—so you can recognize the emotional red flags keeping you stuck.

✔️ How childhood wounds and past experiences contribute to these unhealthy attachments.

✔️ Steps to start breaking free—so you can reclaim your power and rebuild your sense of self. If you've ever felt emotionally tied to someone who hurts you, this episode is for you.
