The trauma bond is also what is called the betrayal bond that was written about in a book by Patrick Carnes. With that, though, survivors need to be discerning with the information they read, and there are some well-intentioned blogs that may actually be more harmful than helpful, especially if they're not written from a trained helping professional.
Ever felt trapped in a cycle of conflicting emotions after a toxic relationship? Andrea Schneider, MSW, LCSW, dives into the complexities of cognitive dissonance and trauma bonds in survivors of narcissistic abuse. Drawing from her book, 'Soul Vampires: Reclaiming Your LifeBlood After Narcissistic Abuse', Andrea sheds light on why highly intelligent and empathetic individuals often fall prey to narcissists. She explains how these abusers create a web of confusion and addiction-like bonds, making it hard for survivors to break free.
But there's hope. Andrea emphasizes the importance of seeking help from trained professionals and being cautious about the information you consume. She also shares practical steps for healing, like narrating your story to release the pain and revisiting helpful information until it sinks in. Tune in to learn more about reclaiming your wellness and moving forward with strength.
