      I always wondered why I stayed with my abusive partner for so long. Was it fear? Was it something else?
      I have recently learned about trauma bonding. And I know this is in my case too. It is trauma bonding together with occasional fear.

      I was wondering if any of you know any good sources to look at (books, articles, audios) anything really that teaches and helps to break that trauma bond? I know I have it and I want to break it but I don’t know how. I feel like googling that I did doesn’t really help me and I was wondering maybe there are books or more in depth information about it?

      As part of The Freedom Programme I have a great book called Living With The Dominator.
      I’m not sure about something more specific to trauma bonding.

        @swanlake Thank you for sharing this. As I am avoiding in keeping any physical books or any literature that’s to do with domestic abuse at home, I will try to look for one online possibly.
