Welcome to Dr Sarah: Relationship Success Lab, where high achievers, executives, and entrepreneurs explore relationship fitness, healing from relationship trauma, and creating secure, trusting, and loving partnerships. Designed for those navigating high-stakes careers and relationships, we dive into trauma-informed coaching, relationship wellbeing, and practical strategies to recover from trauma bonding and build meaningful connections. Save your marriage, start building secure relationships and optimizing your relationship wellbeing.




Welcome back, friends! I'm thrilled to be joined by Neeta Bhushan, author of "That Sucked, Now What?" and co-founder of the Higher Self Institute. Today, we're diving into trauma bonding and how to cultivate healthier relationships, even amidst pain.

Neeta shares her journey, starting from a trauma-bonded relationship characterized by love bombing and codependency, leading to a dark point where she feared for her life. Despite success in her career, she faced internal struggles from early losses and abandonment wounds.

Leaving her toxic marriage marked a turning point, where she embraced vulnerability and sought help, beginning a seven-year journey of self-healing. She emphasizes the importance of making peace with the past and being radically honest about one's emotional awareness.

Neeta reflects on her pattern of seeking validation externally, a common trait among high achievers, and how it led to attracting toxic partners. She highlights the need to shift focus inward, finding self-love and validation rather than seeking it from others.

Drawing from her experiences, Neeta empowers others to break the cycle of trauma bonding by prioritizing self-awareness and emotional capacity. She stresses the importance of healing oneself before seeking validation in relationships, advocating for radical self-honesty and introspection.

Both Neeta and Dr. Sarah share their experiences with unhealthy relationships, emphasizing the journey of self-discovery and healing. They underscore the significance of facing oneself in the mirror and addressing internal wounds rather than seeking healing through external relationships.
