In this episode Rhonda Raxter breaks down trauma bonding—what it is, how it forms, and why your brain gets hooked on the highs and lows of toxic relationships. She explains the neurobiology, common signs, and how childhood wounds and attachment styles keep people stuck.
Rhonda offers practical steps to break the bond: clarity through facts, no- or low-contact, somatic tools, rebuilding self-trust, and safety planning. She also discusses therapeutic approaches, nervous-system stabilization, and how consistent, safe experiences can rewire the brain.
The episode closes with a gentle invitation to healing—a mini meditation called "Coming Home to Trust," journaling prompts, and compassionate guidance for reclaiming identity and boundaries.
