Trauma Bonding

from Causing Friction · host Danielle McLean

TRIGGER WARNING ⚠️ domestic violence, childhood trauma, abuse In this week's episode I dive into the cyclical patterns of trauma bonding. What it is, how it works and who it targets. You will learn about the positive reinforcement abusers use and how it usually takes someone 7 times, to fully leave an unsafe situation (partially due to trauma bonds). This is a heavy episode but a necessary one. Breaking trauma bonds, the cycle of abuse is DIFFICULT but it is possible. Resources: The Guest House Article
