Introduction

Trauma bonds occur in narcissistic relationships. Intermittent validation, invalidation, gaslighting, and isolation are ways in which trauma bonds occur. Narcissists will draw a target in with flattery and mirroring and eventually begin to devalue them through mind games like gaslighting. Signs of a trauma bond are often deflected by a victim of narcissistic abuse, making it challenging to end toxic relationships. In this episode, Lisa A. Romano, Codependency and Narcissistic Abuse Recovery Coach, explains the ins and outs of trauma bonding.
