Trauma bonding can feel like real love and intimacy. This is because when we trauma bond, we're connecting over our wounds and that can provide temporary but deep comfort. However, this doesn't heal our traumas and only satisfies the needs of the wound. A relationship built around trauma bonding can quickly become toxic and co-dependent.
To help you know if trauma is guiding your relationship decisions, Pye and Dr. Glen discuss common signs of unhealed wounds and how to begin healing in order to seek out healthier relationships built around shared Core Values and goals.
