Does anyone know anything about trauma bonding, he treated me badly but I feel guilty even talking to close friends about the bad things he did like I'm betraying him somehow.

Your close friends want to support you not judge you. Let yourself be heard you don’t have to go through this alone.
Breaking a trauma bond feels impossible at first but once you do you’ll realize the guilt was never yours to carry.
It’s hard when your heart still holds onto the good parts but love should never come with pain disguised as loyalty.
Feeling guilty for talking about it is part of how trauma bonds work. But you deserve to speak openly without shame.
Hi there i cam understand how tough it must have been for you, coming out of a trauma-bonded relationship is a challenging but crucial step towards healing and well-being.
Whats important here is that you need to work on yourself and learn how to navigate out of this toxic relationship, to begin with you have already recognised and acknowledged the trauma bond and that's a HUGE positive step . Now u need to educate yourself to understand what trauma bonding is and how it develops through cycles of abuse and intermittent positive reinforcement. You need to
confront the fact that the relationship is harmful, despite any positive moments. You should recognize the patterns of manipulation and control
In your case you really need to build a Strong Support System.....Reach out .Connect with trusted friends, family members, or support groups. Share your experiences with people who can offer understanding and validation.
Focus on Yourself and Healing: Trauma bonds often involve negative self-talk and distorted beliefs. Practice cognitive-behavioral techniques to identify and reframe these thoughts. Learn to identify your limits and assert your needs in future relationships. Focus on building connections with people who are respectful, supportive, and trustworthy. Envision a positive future for yourself,
Breaking free from a trauma bond is a significant act of self-preservation. By understanding the dynamics involved and taking active steps towards healing, you can reclaim your life and trust me IF YOU DONT STAND UP NOW ...YOU ARE ONLY BETRAYING YOURSELF NOT HIM.
hello 👋🏼 Thank you for taking the time to write that. I really appreciate it 😊🙏🏼
He treated you badly and you’re allowed to process that. Healing isn’t about protecting the person who hurt you it’s about freeing yourself.
Trauma bonding is powerful but so is breaking free. You don’t owe silence to someone who caused you pain.
That guilt isn’t yours to carry trauma bonding makes you feel loyal to someone who hurt you but you’re allowed to speak your truth.
