This worksheet gives a 101 overview on trauma bonds. A trauma bond is an intense emotional attachment that forms between a victim and their abuser, often in abusive, manipulative, or high-conflict relationships. It’s created through cycles of abuse + intermittent "rewards" (e.g., affection, apologies, promises to change), which keep the victim psychologically "hooked."
