Ep. 35 “Love or Trauma Bond?”

Nathan and Cristina discuss what it could look like if one person (or both people) evolve during their relationship and trauma bonds versus love bonds.

Trauma bond:

  • The relationship starts with instant attraction and irresistible chemistry

  • The connection is highly physical and sexual

  • The relationship cycles through extreme highs and lows

  • Important conversations are avoided

  • The relationship feels like an addiction that you’re powerless to quit

Love bond:

  • The relationship starts with attraction and curiosity that builds over time

  • The connection is physical, sexual, emotional and intellectual

  • The relationship is stable, predictable and based on mutual trust

  • Important conversations are the priority

  • The relationship feels like an honor, privilege and a choice
