Trauma Bonding: When Attachment Feels Like Love but Is Rooted in Survival | Trauma Bonding Explained

Описание: Sometimes what feels like love… is actually survival.

In this powerful teaching, Karen Carter-Smith breaks down trauma bonding — the psychological and spiritual pattern where attachment feels intense, magnetic, and “meant to be,” but is actually rooted in unresolved trauma and nervous system activation.

Trauma bonding happens when pain, inconsistency, and emotional highs and lows create a powerful attachment loop. The body interprets unpredictability as intensity, and intensity as love.

But love is not chaos.
Love is not anxiety.
Love is not withdrawal and reward cycles.

This message explores:
• The psychology of trauma bonding
• Attachment wounds and survival patterns
• Why you feel addicted to someone who hurts you
• The nervous system’s role in toxic attachment
• How to move from survival love to secure love
• Faith, healing, and emotional maturity

If you’ve ever confused intensity for intimacy or chaos for chemistry, this teaching will help you understand what’s really happening beneath the surface.

Healing begins when you recognize the difference between survival attachment and awakened love.

You are not crazy.
You are wired for safety.
And real love feels different.
