Trauma Bonds From Unresolved Grief
How many books have you read on healing relationship dynamics?
If you have, I’m curious if you’ve ever noticed any dramatic results —
especially when we are dealing with Trauma Bonds.
Trauma Bonds are easy to pick out. Think Johnny Depp and Amber Heard.
Highly addictive.
Volatile.
You KNOW they’re not good for you, but you just can’t seem to get out.
Lesley reached out to me in a “zombie-like” state after 6 years of KNOWING she was with someone who kept lying and cheating on her, like she had EVIDENCE of it….
but he kept denying it.
The problem wasn’t him.
She knew he was who he was.
She couldn’t figure out why she was so addicted to him.
She kept saying it was like “crack-cocaine”.
When we worked together last year, her outcome she set out for in the beginning was to break free from what she KNEW wasn’t healthy for her (but couldn’t find the courage to do so).
Let me tell you, it was a frustrating ordeal.
Even for me.
I really care for my clients and students.
