04: Trauma Bond - Why It's So Hard To Leave

  • Summary

  • Why do we stay when we know it’s toxic? In this episode of Bitch is a Bad Word, we break down the trauma bond—the psychological trap that keeps survivors stuck in abusive relationships. We’ll unpack the cycle of highs and lows, the addictive pull of intermittent reinforcement, and why leaving can feel impossible, even when we know we should. No judgment, no shame—just real talk, personal insight, and a deeper understanding of the ties that keep us bound… and how to finally break free.


    If you or someone you know needs immediate help, please reach out to the National Domestic Violence Hotline at 1-800-799-7233
