How does a Trauma Bond START?

Описание: How does a trauma bond really begin—and why is it so hard to spot in the beginning?

In this video, Ilze and Quinton unpack the early stages of a trauma bond, explaining why these relationships often start off feeling intense, exciting, and deeply connecting. We explore how love bombing, early obsessiveness, and seemingly “healthy” jealousy can feel flattering at first—but slowly shift into subtle criticism, emotional imbalance, and walking on eggshells.

You’ll learn:

What love bombing actually looks like in real relationships

Why early red flags are so easy to dismiss

How subtle belittling and criticism creep in over time

The role of inconsistency and emotional highs and lows

Why trauma bonds create imbalance, self-suppression, and hypervigilance

If you’ve ever felt confused by a relationship that started intensely but slowly eroded your sense of self, this conversation will help you understand why.
