You are so right, Susanne. Trauma Bonds are powerful and as you said embedded in the system.

Thank you for the article. Trauma bonds go deep, often, generational as you know. It’s an interesting dichotomy the victim/offender. It’s a shame that not more work is done systemically (where it has an opportunity to be done) because then maybe there can be a change in the family constellation.

In reply to Alec Fraher. Rebekah, sorry for the misspell earlier, damn auto text and my brain running too fast. Incidentally, I have found creative writing really helpful. It puts the 'being alert and on guard against everything' to good use. You write well. So more please. Jessica, posted a while back and she too writes very well, as does Alice Kenny. And while I am at it, have you read Colours of Madness by Catherine and Co or CattailsPress on WordPress or even FrameofSoul. All are trauma informed authors and say stuff with words that reach in. Pretty neat and brave too. I do go on and on and on 😂

I like this a lot. Using imagery and symbolism is, I find, as important to understanding and recovery as neuroscience.
Great work Rebecca.
Perhaps, you and Shirley Davis would collaborate one day and weave a protective cloth…
