When people hear the phrase “trauma bond,” they usually think of toxic romantic relationships 💔
But trauma bonds can form anywhere → family, friendships, workplaces, even spiritual spaces.
They can leave you feeling confused, conditioned to believe that intensity equals intimacy...
and that chaos somehow means connection.
That’s why I made this side-by-side → to show what healthy attachment vs trauma bonding looks like across every type of relationship.
Because peace should feel like safety, not silence after the storm 🌿
💾 Save this for the next time your nervous system tries to mistake a cycle for closeness.
