Trauma bonding happens when you form a strong attatchment to someone who repeatedly hurts you emotionally,mentally or physically. It's not love is survival disguised as connection.

Why it happens:

🔄The cycle of abuse (hurt-apology-hope-repeat)

🧠Your brain gets used to the hihs and lows.

Breaking free starts with:

🖼Awareness of the cycle

❤️Learning what real, healthy love feels like

What helped you break that bond ? or are you still healing?
