Have a GREAT Monday!!

Imagine that you’re with a partner who’s abusive. They’re degrading you verbally, they’re playing psychological mind tricks, they’re gaslighting you into doubti...ng your own memories and they’re even using violence, or threatening violence, in order to scare you. Yet, you feel a pull to stay with them. You feel bad for themthey had a rough childhood, are dealing with mental illness or addiction, or they’re promising to change. What you’re feeling may not be as much sympathy as it is something else experts in the field of domestic violence refer to as trauma bonding. You’re not aloneit’s common for victims of domestic violence to find themselves trapped with an abuser because of this. http://bit.ly/TraumaBondingDS #domesticviolence #abuse #domesticabuse #trauma #traumabonding #guide
