It feels like love, but each time it leaves you shattered.
You forgive. You hope for change.
You lie awake replaying the fights.
The apologies. Every fleeting moment of closeness.
The cycle starts again. The intensity is expected. The pain feels familiar.
This is not your average relationship drama. It’s trauma bonding. It’s a connection built on fear, unresolved wounds and a longing for closeness or what was in the beginning.
Trauma bonding makes room for justification of toxic behaviour, abusive cycles.
It is difficult to recognise it when you’re told the way you’re treated is your fault.
Counselling helps you to recognise what you don’t deserve.
You are not alone.
You wont be told “you’re too sensitive” or “you’re overreacting.”
You will be listened to and your experience validated.
