Here is why it’s so hard to leave a toxic relationship
If your relationship has been on and off for the longest time this is for you
Your friends might started to warn or question you on why you’re still with that person
You might be unhappy yourself but you can’t seem to leave
You might think that “you’re in love” so you stay in the relationship
If this sounds familiar I’m here to give you some tough love…
That was most likely not real love
Love isn’t controlling
Love isn’t manipulative
Love isn’t emotionally or physically abusive
Real love comes from a place of acceptance
The truth is that was most likely a trauma bond
A trauma bond stems from an attachment through the wound
Here are some signs you were in a trauma bond with someone
1. You felt stuck and can't detach from someone even if they treat you bad
2. Your feel the need to change or “fix” this person from being less toxic
3. You keep having the same harmful fights that lead to nowhere
4. If you try to detach from this person you feel a huge sense of pain and longing for this person
5. People are disturbed or concerned about an action or comment from your partner, but you're not
The good news is you can prevent going into future trauma bond relationships by healing your inner child wounds
We must learn to forgive ourselves first
This means taking steps to accept that the past was the past and start to live in the present instead.
Allow yourself to process those emotions and understand everyone makes mistakes and that is okay
Instead of punishing ourselves for when we acted in survival mode let’s change our perspective to think about the lessons we can learn instead
When we forgive our inner child and accept our past we will be able to start loving ourselves
If we want to be accepted by other people we first need to accept ourselves
We are all growing
We are all learning
