A trauma bond is a bond that forms due to intense emotional experiences, more often than not with a toxic person. It's similar to Stockholm Syndrome in the way that it holds its victim emotionally captive to a manipulator who keeps us "hostage". In today's episode we're talking about Trauma Bonding. What is it? How do you know you're in a 'trauma bonding' relationship? Are there signs you can recognise and most importantly the steps you can take to break free from one and begin your recovery.

Controlling behaviour happens over time. It is a pattern of behaviour that a person uses to have power over another and is a major violation of trust. Whilst not always obvious, controlling behaviours can be a sign of an abusive relationship.
