Breaking the Trauma Bonds, One Link at a Time
Trauma Bonding occurs when a there is a one sided power balance in a relationship that is exploited through both positive and negative reinforcement. This can create an emotional but dysfunctional attachment that occurs in the presence of danger, shame or exploitation.
It is a form of psychological and emotional abuse that normally occurs in coercive relationships. In this video Darren Magee discusses the difficulties of having been trauma bonded and some of the obstacles to recovery, but also looks at some ideas that can help on the path to freedom.
