8 Signs it's a TRAUMA BOND, not love

Описание: Are you stuck in a relationship that feels intense, addictive, confusing, or emotionally draining — yet incredibly hard to leave?

In this video, we break down 8 clear signs you may be in a trauma bond relationship and explain why trauma bonds feel so powerful, even when the relationship is causing emotional harm.

Trauma bonds are not about weakness or lack of intelligence — they are nervous-system driven attachment patterns that form through cycles of pain and relief, inconsistency, emotional withdrawal, and reconciliation. Over time, these cycles condition the brain to associate love with anxiety, relief, and dopamine highs.

In this episode, we explore:

Why trauma bond relationships decline instead of enhance

The pain–relief loop that creates emotional addiction

How inconsistency conditions the brain to crave relief

Why you start making excuses for harmful behaviour

How guilt keeps you emotionally trapped

Why your self-worth becomes tied to their moods

What it means to walk on eggshells in a relationship

Why intensity can feel more familiar than safety

How unresolved childhood dynamics shape adult attachment
(as echoed by Carl Jung, who said: “What is unhealed, you will repeat.”)

Why many people say, “I don’t recognise myself anymore”

If you’ve ever felt like you’re losing yourself, constantly regulating another person’s emotions, or confusing love with emotional survival — this video is for you.
