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.
😔You confuse intensity with intimacy.
Breaking free starts with:
🖼Awareness of the cycle
🛑Setting boundaries
💬Talking to a therapist or trusted support
❤️Learning what real, healthy love feels like
What helped you break that bond ? or are you still healing?
