Breaking The Cycle of Trauma Bonds
Allowing our hearts and minds to take a break for two months has allowed us to recharge and come back ready to serve by talking about our life experiences with you all. We want to make sure to be as vulnerable as possible, while still being authentic + genuine. This episode is evidence of that as we talk about something that we have both experienced, just on different levels. This left us questioning everything and filled with shame. Being able to identify and name exactly what was happening to us during that time in our lives has given us knowledge. This knowledge has turned into a sense of power, an understanding that things can happen on a physical/emotional level, but we are spiritual beings with power that comes from a very mighty source (God, of course ◡̈)
In our current world, there is so much talk about trauma. Trauma is thrown around everywhere. Here, we are speaking specifically about a term called TRAUMA BONDS. In this episode, we speak on what a trauma bond means to us- while also looking up the definition to clarify. We discuss how we have experienced the trauma bond as well as discussing the top 10 signs of someone being in a trauma bond!
If you, or anyone you know, has ever been in a relationship that seemed “toxic”, that seemed to have high highs and low lows, that left one or both parties feeling drained, that has had cheating/abuse in the mix, or felt addictive/was difficult to leave out of fear, this episode is for you. Not only do we talk about recognizing you are in a trauma bond , but also what a person who is a victim of that cycle needs from loved ones who surround them. We are by no means experts in this field, however we have experience, and hey, they say experience is the greatest teacher, right?! Take a listen!!!!
