On last weeks episode we went through the 7 stages of trauma bonding and start this week off explaining how intermittent reinforcement links to love bombing and continues toxic cycles within relationships. Sounds super jargon-y, we know but we break it down using mice and pellets life real scientists. We also cover the 5 stages of accepting that you are in a trauma bond and some encouragement for escaping it. As always, please skip this week if you aren't in a good place mentally to handle this topic. We cherish you and your minds!
