Relationships Let’s Talk About It!
Society & Culture:Relationships
Corey Costanzo is the Co-Owner of Asheville’s Still Point Wellness Spa, a licensed addiction counselor, trauma specialist, licensed massage therapist, master didgeridoo player, colleague, and good friend.
In this episode, Corey and I have a conversation about bonding through trauma and another aspect of which is called “trauma bonding”. A trauma bond is an attachment formed between two people who unconsciously bond through an experience or experiences of shared trauma. We also hear of trauma bonds in narcissistic abuse within an adult relationship. However, most of these relationships do not begin just in adult relationships, they begin early on in our childhood and they manifest and continue in our adult lives.
“Walking away from the cycle of trauma bonding can feel like you are weening yourself off an addiction”.
