Summary

Emotionally broken. Mentally drained. Anxiety riddled and devoid of hope. The trauma bond that ties you to your abuser seems unbreakable.

Stockholm syndrome, otherwise known as trauma bonding, is a powerful yet poisonous emotional symptom of a toxic relationship. We are treated horrifically by our partner, yet we find ourselves doing everything in our power to maintain the relationship. We are frequently lied to, manipulated, called names, and often physically abused. Still, a life without our abuser isn't something we can bear to imagine. Do we know we're being treated abhorrently? Yes. Does it hurt like nothing else in the world? Yes. Do we actively try to cling to the relationship and make it work? Also, yes. These are symptoms of Stockholm syndrome.

But it doesn't need to be this way. The bond can be broken. In this audiobook, I'll use my own 13-year-long story and the lessons I've learned along the way to guide you through breaking the trauma bond:

  • I'll explain the cycle of abuse and how the abuser works to keep us repeating the cycle.
  • I'll cover the reasons we stay in a toxic relationship, other than just love and the deep emotional attachment we have.
  • I'll explain the PTSD symptoms we're prone to suffer as a result of the trauma of abuse.
  • I'll help you unlearn learned helplessness.
  • I'll discuss breaking the trauma bond and emotionally dealing with the aftermath.

Even if you think the bond is unbreakable, or you can't imagine willfully breaking the invisible chains, knowing more about the attachment to your abuser puts you in a better position to free yourself. This audiobook, created through years of firsthand experience and subsequent research, is for those enduring manipulative, hurtful abuse at the hands of their partner. If you feel like you're stuck and you couldn't ever leave your abuser, this book is for you.

A excellent explanation of trauma bonding and its effects on a person’s mental health.

This book clarifies all the important points of Stockholm Syndrome in a relationship and its consequences on the person experiencing the abuse.
The clear and concise description makes it easy to understand how the syndrome can affect your unconscious thought patterns and can lead you into thinking that you are powerless.
This book informs you how it can be possible for you to break the toxic cycle of abuse eventually by taking practical steps to insure your safety and wellbeing and through positive self care affirmations that can help you regain your sense of identity back.
I Highly recommend this book if you feel like you are trapped in a abusive relationship, which I did and I thought I could not escape.
