Trauma Bonds: Essential Steps To Break Free from A Narcissistic Partner | A Millennial Mind

Trauma bonding might not be what you thought it was...

In this eye-opening episode of 'A Millennial Mind', I sit down with Frankie, a registered psychotherapist and trauma specialist, to delve deep into the complex world of trauma and healing. We discuss how various attachment styles impact our relationships, why we might be drawn to toxic partners, and the importance of a secure environment for true recovery.

Frankie shares her unique approach, combining neuroscience with body-based therapies such as EMDR, CBT, and somatic healing. We also explore the concepts of trauma bonds, the impact of generational trauma, and practical steps for breaking unhealthy patterns. This episode is a must-watch for anyone looking to understand and heal from their traumatic experiences.
