Traumatic Bonding

 

Hi!!

A trauma bond forms when an abusive person forms an attachment to the person they mistreat. When the individual being abused begins to feel compassion or affection for their abuser, this is a classic sign of pathological enabling. This connection may take a few days, weeks, or months to form. Yet, not all survivors of abuse go on to form such bonds. Although anyone has the potential to experience trauma bonding, there are a few common risk factors that can increase that potential. Among these are:

·       Subpar mental health

·       Self-Esteem Problems

·       Stress caused by a lack of funds

·       There is no safety net

·       Confusingly, the phrase "traumatic past"

·       Personal history of bullying

·       Depression brought on by not having a sense of self

These vulnerabilities can make a person more susceptible to manipulation in a romantic relationship and make it more difficult to recognise the signs of toxicity.

Counselling is a great tool for helping people get past trauma. It can not only help you navigate through the complicated and difficult feelings you're experiencing after leaving an abusive situation, but it can also enable you to make alternative choices in the future. It can also help you identify warning signals of abuse so that you do not wind up in an abusive environment again. There are many various sorts of treatment, with trauma therapy always being a popular choice for people who have experienced trauma such as abuse.
