Understanding Trauma Bonds and their Impact in Relationships
Trauma bonds are conditioned patterns from our earliest attachments that manifest in our relationships, often leading to cycles of disconnection, reactivity, and abandonment. They can be seen in various relationships, including friendships, romantic partnerships, and family dynamics. These patterns reflect our unmet needs and keep us from truly connecting with others. Trauma bonds are so common in society that they are often mistaken for love. It is important to recognize the dynamics and patterns of relationships rather than basing them solely on extreme highs and lows. Identifying specific trauma bond archetypes can help us understand and break free from these patterns.
