The Reason Trauma Bonds are so Addictive and Intense
The intensity of the relationship is unmatched. You will never experience it again unless you are with another narcissist.
That’s the problem with unhealed trauma. It has a very unique and clever way of finding itself in other people and delivering them to you gift-wrapped in the prettiest of paper.
When you first open the package, my oh, my! How did they know this is the gift you have been searching for your whole life!?
Every insecurity and self-doubt you ever had about yourself is slowly lifting. This has to be one of the best gifts you’ve ever received.
UNTIL…….
The second gift is delivered. The one that, when opened, is fucking painful. This must be some cruel joke, right? How the fuck can someone give you such a lovely gift only to replace it with this bullshit!
They shouldn’t be allowed to do that! They get you fucking attached to this gift. They manipulate you into loving and caring for this gift like you never had in your life! Now they want to take it away and replace it with this!?!
It fucking hurts!
I didn’t do anything for them to take that gift from me. So why did they do it? You will…
