its like im so self aware of it and it feels like im in a Stockholm Syndrome. its terrifying and i just want it to stop and i want to move on and heal and not be constantly pulled back to the trauma bond

The reason we never learn about the stuff in high school is so the bosses could take advantage of us and I bet anyone $1, 000 they couldn't prove otherwise

The trauma bond breaks when you find someone better. It sounds cliche but it’s a fact. Once you find that special person your thoughts and feelings of the ex fades more and more until they’re just a memory. In my case the tables turned since I found someone else. Now she is obsessed with me. 😂 But I will not devalue myself by being with someone who doesn’t see my value. Don’t punish and restrict yourself because of THEIR insecurities. Eventually they will see what they missed out on. God bless 🙏

hearing you describe how these bonds are, makes me want to cry

[catchcourtcourt]

The thing with me is, I actually know I'm a good woman. I love the woman I've become. I don't understand why the man I love doesn't see it. It's as if I let this one person imprint on me and I can't do or think of anything else except try to make them see what I see in myself.

"BUT DID YA DIE?"" Exactly why CPTSD is a catalyst for trauma bonded relationships. I found this talk extremely helpful!

The trauma bond victims hurt the new one that loves them truly and goes bk to their abuser

[ladyvirgo]

This information hits me right in the gut. It's everything I've been experiencing with the man I've been married to for 12 years. He devalued me and discarded me all within 2 months. He's currently shacked up with the secretary from his work. He knows I'm in a really tough spot, I've been on disability since 2015 after losing my son via Suicide. My husband cheated on me 14 months after my sons death, we worked through that, fast forward almost 9 years later, he kicks me while I'm down again. Ugh....my guts haven't stopped shaking for a month. I'm going to counseling This week. I need major help.
Thanks for this Sharing

Is there anyone else listening to this taking comfort that you were a victim ? I listen to this thinking, yep they did that, but l did that too. We all need to own what we brought to the relationship or else we go into others not trusting or playing a victim. Let those without sin cast the first stone.

This killed me and set me free all at the same time.

If only I knew what a trauma bond was or, for that matter, what a narcissist (in the clinical definition) was back in the day when I had the misfortune of encountering the narcissist in my life....

Ignored; labeled; Shamed; isolated; triangulated; blamed; ridicule; verbally assaulted; the trauma bond is a wild ride and it doesn’t just affect the person being assaulted but resonates outward towards their children. It’s awful.

[bernardoaguilargt]

5:10 the justifying part hit so hard. My close (female) friends all said I was like a beaten wife who wants to stay no matter what. I was, in fact, being emotionally beaten.

It’s worth a lot of us knowing: Toxicity isn’t always from overt abuse.

Toxic relationships aren’t just victim-narcissist ones. Many of us are wounded and act from those wounds without being ‘abusers’.

Sometimes the toxicity comes from those two particular people and their respective wounds coming together - bad mix.

Others of us can trauma bond in these 7 ways but in much more nuanced, less extreme ways.

For example; The other person reacts poorly to situations and inadvertently hurts you but is not a narcissist or abuser.
Likewise, you can do ‘damage control’ and ‘appease’, without creating large stories/lies or being desperate to be liked by them.

It’s like a low level survival mode but over time has an enormous impact on your mental wellbeing.

And that's why I keep making the same mistake over and over again!😮

[anthonyleveille]

When i was homeless sleeping in my car working two jobs they still harassed me with the same tactics theyre harassing me with now in this apartment ...they really prowl around and are extremely co dependent

[matilda]

yes, it is very beneficial to dwell on negative that's how we learn

[izawaniek]

Thank you for a very informative and supportive video.

Defending them can include lashing out at family and friends that see that the relationship is abusive.
