Trauma Bonds?

The Miracles Podcast

Hi Miracles, and welcome to another inspiring episode of The Miracles Podcast! This week I am discussing Trauma Bonds.

A trauma bond forms through intermittent displays of positive and negative attention. It’s confusing and it results in cognitive dissonance for the person on the receiving end of the dynamic. The victim stays in an attempt to reach that elusive positive point. That reconciliatory fix can be affection, validation, or a temporary sense of security.

The formation of a trauma bond tends to be a gradual process. It’s typically characterized by a period of passionate declarations of love and showering of affections. This is the love bombing stage. The flood of positive attention establishes grounds for the abuser’s manipulation. It tends to be shortly followed by the emergence of toxic behavior such as gaslighting, verbal abuse, or controlling. If you or someone you know may know is dealing with this type of relationship, tune in to this week's episode. To help you on your journey.

This I declare about the Lord: He alone is my refuge, my place of safety; He is my God, and I trust him. Be sure to find me on Instagram: @latonyameori
