Trauma bonding is a paradoxical attachment that is created between a victim and their attacker. This mechanism explains why it is so difficult to leave an abusive relationship, even when you know it is destructive. The intermittent cycle of abuse and kindness creates a neurochemical dependency as powerful as an addiction.
This 20-question test, designed by a CBT psychopractitioner, assesses the intensity of your traumatic bond and your current ability to free yourself from it.
What does this test measure?
- Link intensity – Strength of attachment despite abuse, difficulty imagining life without the other.
- Cycle of abuse – Presence and frequency of the tension-explosion-reconciliation-honeymoon cycle.
- Neurochemical dependence – Feelings of lack, search for the ‘fix’ emotional, adrenaline and oxytocin surges linked to the cycle.
