(Cont.) Trauma Bonding – Understanding the Addictive Cycle in Toxic Relationships

In this episode, I break down what trauma bonding really means and why it can feel so hard to leave a toxic relationship. Instead of being about sharing past trauma, trauma bonding happens because of a crazy cycle of ups and downs—brief moments of love and kindness that keep you holding on even when you're being hurt. In this episode, I discuss how these roller coaster relationships work and why promises to change often end up being tricks to keep you stuck.
