Do you feel an intoxicating, yet painful, connection to someone who consistently hurts you? Do you find yourself defending their behavior, clinging to moments of kindness, and unable to walk away, even when you know you should? If you are trapped in a dizzying cycle of hope and heartbreak, you may be experiencing a trauma bond-a powerful psychological chain forged from manipulation, abuse, and intermittent reinforcement. This bond can feel as addictive as any drug, leaving you emotionally exhausted, confused, and isolated. It's the reason why leaving an abusive relationship is so incredibly difficult, and why so many find themselves returning, hoping things will finally change. Breaking the Chains is a powerful and compassionate guide to understanding the insidious nature of trauma bonding and reclaiming the life that was stolen from you. This is not just another book about bad relationships; it is a step-by-step roadmap to freedom for those entangled with narcissistic or manipulative partners.
