The Trauma Bond
Complex Trauma
Exposure to a severe incident(s) that is
repetitive or prolonged.
Incidents involve captivity in which
escape is viewed as impossible.
Incidents occur in combination with
coercive control.
Repetitive or Prolonged Incidents
Exposure to a severe incident that
is repetitive or prolonged
Is considered
cumulative,
meaning it is
multiple traumas
on top of each
other.
Changes the
structure of the
brain, creating
overwhelming
anxiety, fear and
helplessness.
Affects the
normal
development of
children and
adolescents.
Isolation & Dependency
Captivity and External Power
Reduces an
internal sense
of power and
control.
Intensifies feelings
of powerlessness
and helplessness.
Increases the
likelihood of revictimization.
Long after the trauma is gone…
• Persistent feelings of helplessness, anxiety, powerlessness,
and fear.
• Guilt, anger, and shame overshadow feelings of safety.
• Changes in the brain during the trauma remain intact,
driving poor problem-solving and decision-making.
• Medical problems directly related to trauma as well as
somatic symptoms such as chronic headaches.
• Continued vulnerability to re-victimization.
• Tools used to survive the trauma are now unhealthy and
lead to increased problems.
• Issues are complicated by addiction as a form of avoidance
and emotional numbing.
• Difficulty trusting others or recognizing cues of safety.
