S6E8 - What Is Trauma Bonding?

S6E8 - What Is Trauma Bonding?

The Voice Of Tamar | S06E08: What Is Trauma Bonding? | Vanessa Hobbs | Miguel Lebron


  • Definition of trauma bonding: The term trauma bonding was introduced by Patrick Carnes, Ph.D., author of The Betrayal Bond; Breaking Free of Exploitative Relationships and founder of the International Institute for Trauma and Addiction Professionals (IITAP). While the Foundation for Post-Traumatic Healing and Complex Trauma Research notes that Dr. Carnes first defined the concept as “the misuse of fear, excitement, sexual feelings, and sexual physiology to entangle another person.” Katie Moore, Psy.D., a licensed clinical psychologist based in Irvine, California, who specializes in trauma treatment, says, "Trauma bonding happens when an attachment has formed between an abuser and the person who is being abused."

Source: https://www.forbes.com/health/mind/what-is-trauma-bonding/


  • Types of trauma bonding:
  1. Intimate partner trauma bonding: This refers to the bonding that can occur between an individual and their abusive intimate partner.
  2. Familial trauma bonding occurs within family relationships, where a victim may form a bond with an abusive or neglectful family member. It can involve feelings of loyalty, obligation, or a desire for approval.


Registered psychotherapist Natacha Duke, MA, RP, also explained in this article The difference between trauma bonding and relationship conflict. She states, "Conflict in relationships is normal and can actually be healthy if both partners are treated as equals and able to communicate and resolve the conflict in a respectful way; but in abusive relationships, the conflict often follows a pattern of gaslighting, manipulation and blaming — along with a power imbalance."

Source: https://health.clevelandclinic.org/trauma-bonding/


  • Strategies to overcome and recover from trauma bonding.
  1. Keep a written record
  2. Surround Yourself With Loved Ones
  3. Join a Support Group
  4. Practice Self-Care: Cut off contact
