Trauma Bonding with Narcissists: Why Victims Don’t “Just Leave” and How to Break Free

Описание: https://www.get.theamieffect.com - Trauma Bonding with Narcissists: Why Victims Don’t “Just Leave” and How to Break Free
“Why didn’t they just leave?” If you’ve asked this — or had it asked of you — this video explains the real answer: trauma bonding. In narcissistic relationships, cycles of love-bombing, devaluation, and intermittent reinforcement create a powerful biochemical and psychological addiction that keeps victims stuck, hopeful, and afraid.

What I cover:

What trauma bonding is and how it forms with narcissists

The neuroscience: dopamine, cortisol, oxytocin, adrenaline — and why your brain gets hooked

Daily-life signs you’re trauma bonded (and why it feels like love)

Why victims can’t “just leave”: cognitive dissonance, isolation, fear, control over money, threats, stigma

Courtroom dynamics: why narcissists look “reasonable” and victims appear dysregulated

How to start breaking the bond: education, naming it, no contact/grey rock, trauma-informed therapy, journaling, support, and nervous-system regulation (breathwork, somatic work, EMDR)

You are not weak — you were conditioned. And you are not alone. With the right tools and community, you can reclaim your life, your power, and your joy.
