Some ways to #breaktraumabonding are: 1. “Focus on the present: Hope that an abusive person will change or nostalgia for good times in the past can keep people in their trauma bonds. Try to acknowledge what is currently happening and the impact that it has by pausing to reflect on it. If it is safe to do so, keep a diary. 2. Focus on the evidence: If a person continues to abuse or takes no steps to get help, stay focused on this, rather than on their promises about the future. 3. Practice positive self-talk: Abuse can lower a person’s self-esteem and make them feel that they cannot be without the abusive person. Noticing negative self-talk and challenging with positive alternatives can start to change this. 4. Practice self-care: Taking care of oneself may help relieve some stress and reduce the desire to turn to an abusive person for comfort. Journaling, meditation, exercise, hobbies, prayer, or talking to trusted friends can help.” (Tips quoted from an article in medicalnewstoday.com) #trauma_healing #trauma_bonding #toxic_relationship_facts #toxicrelationshipsadvice #signsoftraumabonding #red_flags🚩 - @amanda_the_love_warrior
