Let's set the record straight about trauma bonds. ⤵️

What trauma bonds are:
- someone developing an unhealthy attachment to an abusive partner
- a connection with a power imbalance that leaves one person depending on the other for care, validation, and support
- a toxic cycle of abuse and positive reinforcement

What trauma bonds are *not*:
- a bond with someone else who has gone through similar traumatic experiences
- something that only happens to weak or naive people
- limited to romantic relationships (can occur in families, friendships, etc.)
