It's an emotional, traumatic bonding that stems from the victim, you know, feeling sorry for their perpetrator, making excuses for their perpetrator.
What if the ties that bind us also hold us back? In this episode of the Trauma-Informed Podcast, host Jeff Friedman chats with Dr. Michele Fineran about her insightful book, 'Surviving Domestic Abuse: Formal and Informal Supports and Services'. Dr. Fineran dives into the complex world of domestic abuse, shedding light on the often overlooked emotional bonds that make it hard for victims to escape. She explains how traumatic bonding, especially in mother-daughter relationships, can trap individuals in abusive situations.
This isn't just a dry academic discussion; Dr. Fineran brings her points to life with real-world examples and heartfelt empathy. She also highlights the power of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) in helping survivors rebuild their self-love and confidence. But it's not all smooth sailing—substance abuse often complicates the recovery journey, adding another layer of difficulty. Whether you're a survivor, a supporter, or simply curious about trauma-informed care, this episode offers a wealth of knowledge and practical advice.
Tune in to hear Dr. Fineran's compassionate take on how we can better support those affected by domestic abuse.
