Trauma Bonding

Another educational Post

Trauma bonding is basically an unhealthy attachment to a person, but it’s also so much more than that. Being trauma bonded to someone, means that you are essentially addicted to the way they treat you, or to the way you treat them. (In simple terms) You can be trauma bonded to anyone. In my case, I am trauma bonded to my mother. I used to beg for her to listen, be involved, care, etc. Think of trauma bonding like a domestic violence situation. There are euphoric times and depressing/stressful times. There’s typically no in-between. The euphoric times, are what keeps a person coming back. During these stages, the abuser sets up the victim to feel loved and cared for. When the abuser starts withdrawing, is when the victim craves the love they were given during the euphoric times. The victim tends to beg and plead for the love. Trauma bonds can last decades, and unless the victim works on themselves, they will always be trauma bonded to their person. The following information can explain better. 😊
