Trauma Bonding: Understanding and Overcoming the Trauma Bond in a Narcissistic Relationship by Lauren Kozlowski PDF

Author: Lauren Kozlowski

‘If your relationship is so bad, why don’t you just leave them?’

If, in the same breath, it breaks your heart to even consider leaving them because you can’t imagine life without them, then I can understand that feeling too; because I was trauma bonded to my abusive ex.

From my own personal experience and from the experiences other survivors have opened up to me about, this book will cover the following:

 What trauma bonding really is

 The 7 stages that lead to you becoming trauma bonded

 The parallels that Stockholm syndrome has with trauma bonding

 The 5 stages you go through when you come to accept you’re trauma bonded

 The cognitive dissonance a trauma bond can cause

 Breaking free from the traumatic bond

This book will also include my own experiences and I’ll draw upon those to help you really understand trauma bonding, and let you know that you’re not alone in being shackled by this emotionally crippling bond. More importantly, this book will help you understand that the invisible chain that tethers you to your abuser can be broken.
