Healing After Trauma Bonding

When love and pain become tangled, it can feel impossible to leave—even when you know the relationship is hurting you.


That’s the power of a trauma bond.


You may feel confused, stuck, or ashamed for still caring about someone who’s caused you harm. You might keep going back, holding on to the hope that things will change—or wondering if it’s you who needs to change.


You’re not alone in this. And you’re not broken. Trauma bonding is a real psychological response to abuse, and healing is absolutely possible.


I offer a safe, nonjudgmental space to help you understand what’s happening, process the emotional pain, and gently break the cycle—at your own pace.


Individual Therapy

We’ll explore your patterns, rebuild self-trust, and gently untangle the emotional ties that keep you stuck.


Understanding the Bond

We look at the push-pull dynamic, the intense highs and painful lows, and the emotional dependency that keeps the bond alive—so you can start making empowered choices.


Nervous System & Somatic Support

Trauma lives in the body. We incorporate nervous system regulation tools to help you feel safer in your body and less reactive to the triggers that keep you bonded.


Boundaries & Self-Worth

Learn how to set clear, loving boundaries and reconnect with the part of you seeking peace, respect, and emotional safety.


Support for Letting Go

Letting go of a trauma bond can come with intense withdrawal and grief.  For those who have chosen to break the bond, I offer gentle support as you navigate the loss of what you hoped the relationship would be, while helping you move toward what’s real and healthy.

FAQs

What is a trauma bond, exactly?

A trauma bond forms through repeated cycles of abuse followed by periods of reconciliation, affection, or hope. It’s a powerful attachment built through survival instincts, not love—and it can feel incredibly hard to break, even when the relationship is harmful.


Why do I still miss or love them—even after everything?

Because trauma bonds create emotional dependency. Your brain and body became wired to seek relief and connection from the very person who caused the pain. That doesn’t make you weak—it makes you human.


Can therapy really help me let go?

Yes. With support, clarity, and nervous system regulation, you can begin to see the patterns clearly, release self-blame, and reconnect with your own voice, needs, and power.


Do I have to leave the relationship to begin therapy?

No. Therapy isn’t about forcing you to make a decision. It’s about creating a space where you feel safe enough to explore your reality, trust yourself, and move forward—whatever that looks like for you.


You are not too broken. You are not too late.

There is a way out of this, and it starts with one small step.


I'm here—when you’re ready.
