In this trauma bonded type of relationship, it's not exactly what I just said there. Right, I want to just give you that framework. So the cyclical nature of this dependency and negative self concept- and that's going on for the person with bpd and the person with codependency, and not necessarily to the same degree, but it leads to the formation of a strong emotional bond from from codependent to borderline, from victim to abuser, and so the physical, emotional and sexual abuse can be used to maintain the power differential.
What exactly makes trauma bonds so hard to break? In this eye-opening episode, counselor and trauma recovery coach A.J. Mahari unpacks the complexities of trauma bonding in relationships involving Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) and codependency. Drawing from her extensive 30-year career, Mahari sheds light on how these bonds are rooted not in addiction, but in deep-seated trauma. She explains how negative self-concepts and cycles of dependency can create powerful emotional ties that feel nearly impossible to sever.
Mahari also explores the significant role of therapy and recovery, as well as how transgenerational cycles of abuse can shape mental health outcomes. This episode isn't just about understanding the problem; it's about equipping you with the tools and insights you need to start breaking free. Whether you're grappling with a BPD relationship or trying to overcome codependency, Mahari's compassionate and educational approach offers a path toward healing and recovery.
