Trauma Bonding Explained: Why You Stay in Toxic Relationships with Narcissists
In this episode, Ross Rosenberg breaks down the complex and often misunderstood concept of trauma bonding — the deep emotional ties that form between codependents (or those with Self-Love Deficit Disorder™) and pathological narcissists. Drawing from his Human Magnet Syndrome framework, Ross explains how early attachment trauma shapes our adult relationship patterns, why we stay in harmful relationships, and how trauma creates a powerful but toxic bond that feels like love. If you're stuck in painful patterns and don’t know why, this video may hold the answers.
