What Is Trauma Bonding?

Trauma bonding is a type of attachment that one can feel toward someone who’s causing them trauma.

We've prepared a toolkit to help you understand what trauma bonding is so you can better assess  and understand your situation. You can download the toolkit here, or by using the pink VIEW TOOLKIT button above.

Inside you’ll find links to helpful articles, recommended books, checklists, relevant survivor survey results, support communities and how to find help.

Remember, survivors are strong, capable and perseverant. Help is out there, though, and it’s important for survivors to know they don’t have to tackle the healing process alone.
