A trauma bond isn’t “attachment gone wrong.”
It’s what happens when love + fear get mixed together.
Your nervous system learns: “I only feel safe when they approve, return, calm down, or come back.”
So when they disappear, your system panics — not because you want chaos, but because safety once followed chaos.
This can create: 💫 cravings
💫 intrusive thoughts
💫 guilt
💫 shame
💫 self-blame
None of this means you're weak. It means your body was trained to survive uncertainty.
Healing teaches your system: Safety doesn’t require instability.
You are not the problem — the pattern is 💛
