Breaking the Trauma Bond is a course designed to help you understand why it can be so difficult to leave harmful relationships. Grounded in psychology and lived experience, it offers clear, supportive guidance for recognising the dynamics that keep you stuck, and how to begin reclaiming your autonomy and self-trust.
You’ll explore each layer of trauma bonding through the following modules:
1. Introduction to Trauma Bonding
Defines trauma bonding and introduces the emotional, cognitive, and physiological factors that make it so powerful.
2. The Chemistry of Abuse
Looks at how your nervous system becomes conditioned to cycles of harm and why trauma bonds often feel like addiction.
3. Intermittent Reinforcement
Explains the role of unpredictable kindness or attention in deepening attachment and confusion.
4. The Fantasy Bond
Explores the imagined connection you hold onto and how hope can keep you from seeing the relationship clearly.
5. The Role of Shame and Self-Blame
Unpacks how internalised shame and responsibility distort your perception of the harm you’ve experienced.
6. The Grief of Letting Go
Acknowledges the real and painful loss that comes with ending the bond, even when you know it’s necessary.
7. Going No Contact
Offers practical and emotional support for reducing or ending contact safely, and navigating the aftermath.
8. Reclaiming Your Power
Focuses on rebuilding your sense of agency, trust, and identity beyond the trauma bond.
