In this episode, you will hear the final piece of the live interview I had with Tami from the Ageless 50+ community. In this part of the interview, the focus is on dealing with trauma bonded relationships. Trauma bonds are explained as intense emotional connections that often form in abusive relationships, making it difficult for individuals to leave despite the harm they endure. An example is given of a woman who couldn't emotionally separate from her abusive mother, leading her to repeat similar patterns in her adult relationships. The conversation highlights how these bonds can feel addictive, much like a drug dependency.

For a deeper dive into narcissism, I now offer courses approved for continuing education credits, available [here]. As a NYS Education Department-approved provider (#SW-0211), licensed social workers in New York can earn credits through these programs. Also, these courses are a wonderful opportunity for those who may simply want to further educate themselves on all issues related to narcissistic and personality disorder dynamics.
