EP 28: What is a Trauma Bond and Is It Possible to Break Free? Trauma Expert Amanda Asproni Joins Sam

What is a trauma bond? Are you or someone you know lost in one? Is it just an infidelity issue or can you be trauma-bonded to someone who hasn't cheated on you? Today on the podcast I speak with regular contributor, Amanda Asproni and discuss these types of bonds, how addicting they are, and how to find freedom and healing from such a bond.

We often wonder, "Why can't I break free of him or her?" We feel weak, frail and often times confused on why we feel like we need this person in our life. It's like we only get so far away from them, only so much freedom from them, only to have them suck us back into their lives. "Sometimes it's great and we're just fine.....other times....not so much." It can feel like a drug we just can't let go of.

If you're often times using those statements, you just may be in a trauma bond.
