Hi Everyone,
Are you familiar with addictive relationships or trauma bonds ?
You know about alcohol and other substance addictions – these labels are front and centre in our society. We’re all familiar with the negative and dangerous consequences that wreak havoc in the lives of addicts, if they do not seek help and determine what the root cause might be of their addictive tendencies.
Many of us, however, may be unaware and are surprised to discover that we too are living as addicts, but experiencing another form of addiction – a process addiction that presents in our lives as addictive relationships. This addiction differs from substance addiction in many ways but with equally serious negative impacts on our health, wellbeing or sanity.
Trauma bonds are different to an addiction, although both of them have unhealthy attachment as a component. A trauma bond can coexist with an addictive relationship and can be the underlying force that sets up the addictive relationship.
Read my latest Blog post and learn about the 3D’s and other characteristics that define an addictive dynamic. Look at the questions you may be asking yourself repeatedly about the state of your relationship life. Dig into your memory and discover how trauma bonds may be setting you up to attract and maintain unhealthy attachments.
Sometimes before we can get over something, we have to get under it!
