What Is Trauma Bonding?
Trauma bonding happens when intense emotional highs and lows create a powerful attachment to someone who is also causing harm.
You may notice:
• Feeling attached despite repeated hurt
• Excusing harmful behavior
• Blaming yourself
• Leaving and returning multiple times
This is not weakness. It is often a nervous system response shaped by trauma and inconsistency.
At Burton Professional Counseling in Burton, Michigan, we provide trauma-informed therapy, including EMDR, to help individuals rebuild emotional stability.
You don’t have to navigate this alone.
If this resonates, you are not alone.
