I have had this pointed out to me that I am caught up in patterns of trauma bonding and I have googled the term but still find it hard to understand. Anyone got any advice?

Hi Sheychen,
I came up with something about Trauma Bonding and the Stockholm Syndrome, that you bond with (empathize) with the person who is hurting you because you are in there care. "these victims do not have the information they need to accurately describe the dynamics involved in the bonding process that occurs with abuse and trauma and therefore attribute their intense feelings the best way that they can ... love. There are two factors: the existence of a power imbalance and intermittent abuse."
This probably doesn't help you, does it?

I have loved my father and my spiritual teacher and my therapist - all who abused me, sexually.
so maybe that is my trauma bonding.
I got away from all of them. but I tend to find people in my life who will do it again, hurt me, and have to really work hard at getting away from them in time. Huge insight really.
