Traumatic Bonding: How To Cope With Trauma - part 3
27Traumatic bonding. Neglect. Psychological abuse. What comes to mind when you hear these terms?
Do you find yourself picturing a loved one in your mind?
Are you thinking about an experience that still hasn't left you?
If so, perhaps you are bonded to the person who wronged you. You may be asking yourself "how?" Or you may just deny it...completely. But the reality is that becoming emotionally and psychologically bonded to someone who has abused you is real. It is more real than a lot of people would like to admit.
In this video, I discuss a few beginning steps you can take to cope with the emotional and psychological bonds we can struggle with when in a relationship with an abuser.
I encourage you to post your questions or comments below.
