Trauma bonding. You are bonded with!

Hi, The process of healing from trauma bonding, especially in the context of a marriage, varies significantly for each individual and relationship. Trauma bonding often involves a complex mix of attachment, fear, and emotional dependency, which can make it challenging to break free. The number of therapy sessions required can range widely—some individuals may begin to see improvement in just a few sessions, while others may need several months or even longer to fully address the underlying issues and dynamics of the relationship. Typically, a course of therapy may involve anywhere from 6 to 12 sessions to start seeing significant progress, but ongoing therapy may be necessary to address deeper emotional wounds and to build new, healthier patterns of behavior and communication. Working with a trained therapist can help you navigate your feelings, establish boundaries, and develop strategies for healing and empowerment. The key is to be patient with yourself and recognize that recovery is a journey that takes time and support.

Accepting that you have trauma and you need help is first step towards healing

Breaking free from a trauma bond, especially when married to the person you are bonded with, is a deeply personal journey. The number of sessions required depends on your unique circumstances, including the depth of the bond, the history of the relationship, and your readiness to heal. However, in my experience, this process usually unfolds in phases over 12–20 sessions, depending on consistency and commitment to therapy. My Opinion Trauma bonding often stems from cycles of emotional highs and lows, which create a powerful attachment. Healing requires addressing these patterns while building your sense of self-worth and independence. When married, the complexity increases because you’re not only working to untangle the bond but also deciding the future of your relationship. This can be emotionally challenging, but it’s entirely possible with the right approach.

1. Initial Phase: In this phase, we will focus on stabilization and building self-awareness. Together, we’ll explore what trauma bonding is, how it is manifesting in your marriage, and the emotional and behavioral patterns it creates. This will help you understand the dynamics of the bond and begin developing tools for self-regulation and emotional clarity. 2. Exploration Phase: Here, we’ll delve deeper into the root causes and patterns underlying the bond. This involves examining your personal history, the other person’s history, and any unresolved trauma that may be sustaining the attachment. By unpacking these elements, we’ll gain clarity on why the bond exists and what continues to reinforce it. 3. Rebuilding Phase: The focus of this phase will be on empowerment and moving forward. We’ll work on strengthening your sense of self, establishing healthy boundaries, and deciding what steps are best for you in the relationshipÃÂÂÂÂÃÃÂÃÂ‚ƒÃƒÂ‚‚‚ƒÃƒÂƒÃ‚ƒÃ‚ƒÃ‚‚ƒÃ‚¢Ã‚€Â”whether that means rebuilding it in a healthier way or creating space for independence and healing.

My Recommendation Start with individual therapy to work on your emotional needs and understand the bond. Depending on your progress and goals, couple therapy may be helpful if the partner is willing to engage and address their role. If not, the focus will remain on helping you gain clarity, strength, and the tools to make informed decisions for yourself. Trauma bonding is complex but entirely surmountable. The key is patience, consistency, and a commitment to your well-being. Let’s take this step together to work toward a healthier, more fulfilling future.

When it comes to trauma we are not just talking about the present relationship but years of needs that have perhaps been unmet, survival responses that have decided on the relationships chosen. While we help navigate present relationship it also about healing from the past. More than a quick solution it requires presence with those feelings. And so there isn’t any fixed number of sessions that can help. Therapy would involve a mixture of understanding these nuances and practical exercises to navigate day to day life. Session numbers would depend on how one sails through these experiences

Start small, begin with therapy, if that’s what you are considering and slowly build from there
