What is a Trauma Bond?

article image placeholderUploaded by @ThriveLauraMonk
There's a lot of tension, a lot of arguing, a lot of defensiveness, and a lot of enabling. And there's this thing called conflict curse. And conflict curse is basically the belief one has that if someone isn't showing high emotions in a relationship and that could be abusive behaviors such as yelling, screaming, being jealous, being possessive, maybe even being physically violent, that that means they don't love you

🌱 Laura talks about traits of a trauma bonded relationships. #traumabond #toxicrelationships #relationship

Yep. Definitely been in a few of those relationships. Thankfully, I'm not anymore. At least, I don't think so. But what is love bombing? I've heard that before, but I still don't know what it is. Can you define that for me?

And they might and this is kind of weird in the in like the first date, the first date with someone, if they love bomb you, it's a huge red flag, right? So it's like, you don't even know me and you're saying, like, I'm the best, I'm awesome and I'm so special, but yet you just went on one date with me. How would you possibly know that? That would be love bombing

Thank you so much for that. Yeah, that is really helpful. It would explain some of my relationships in my 20s long, long time ago. Also some, like, some relationships of my friends that I noticed, and now they're divorced, and it's like, oh, well, that would explain a lot. Thank you. Yeah, I appreciate that
