EpisodeNov 12, 202446m
Why do people go back to their exes, even in toxic or abusive relationships? In this episode we break it all down. From the science of trauma bonds, which can create addiction-like patterns in the brain, making it incredibly challenging to walk away to fear of being alone and more. This episode is a safe space to release shame, gain understanding, and provide support for listeners who may be grappling with the decision to leave. We also offer insights for friends and family on how to be supportive without judgment, creating a compassionate path forward for everyone involved.Key Points Covered:Patterned Behavior and Generational CyclesTrauma Bonds and Toxic RelationshipsPersonal Story of an Abusive RelationshipCultural and Generational InfluenceCycle of Abuse and Difficulty in LeavingBreaking the Cycle of Trauma BondsStrategies for Overcoming Toxic Relationship PatternsLiving Beyond the RelationshipGET ON THE WAITLIST FOR THE RELATIONSHIP RECOVERY CIRCLE!!Links to Our Favorite Things Right Here!More resources from The Relationship Recovery:Book a Discovery Call with us and begin to heal: https://www.therelationshiprecovery.com/coachingShould I Stay or Should I Go Course:https://www.therelationshiprecovery.com/stayorgoThe Breakup Recovery Course:https://thebreakuprecovery.com/Breakup Book of Affirmations: https://www.therelationshiprecovery.com/product-page/the-breakup-book-of-affirmations 4 Ways to Break a Trauma Bond Podcast Episode:https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-relationship-recovery-podcast/id1606974947?i=1000586502294https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/therelationshiprecovery/episodes/4-Steps-to-Break-a-Trauma-Bond---EP102-e1enc7rNational Domestic Violence Hotline:800-799-7233https://www.thehotline.org/Utah Domestic Violence Coalition:1-800-897-LINK (5465)https://udvc.org/Follow us:Instagram: //www.instagram.com/therelationshiprecoveryTikTok: https: //www.tiktok.com/@therelationshiprecoveryYoutube: https: //www.youtube.com/channel/UC0xaCdQ_S2o5tQ_ZeqeymDQ
