Hello and welcome back to the Self Healer Soundboard, How to do the Workmaster Class.

Last episode we talked all about our ego, or the voice of endless chatter that narrates

our life keeping many of us stuck in old stories about ourselves and cycles of emotional

reactivity that don't represent who we truly are.

For many of us, these cycles are most obviously present in our relationships with our friends,

our family, our partners, and our community where very few of us feel truly authentically

connected to those around us.

This episode, Jenna and I, will dive in to chapter 9 of How to do the Work, Trauma Bonds.

Hello everyone and thank each of you for joining us for everyone listening and viewing Trauma

Bonds.

Trauma Bonds have become a hot topic.

So what exactly are Trauma Bonds?

Trauma Bonds are our conditioned ways of being when we're in relationships.

For most of us, these patterns, Mira, are earliest attachments to our parent figures, where

many times, many of our needs, our physical needs, our emotional needs, our spiritual needs

went unmet.

For many of us, there are cycles of disconnection, of reactivity, of abandonment.

Again, all of these cycles really do reflect those earliest relationships that many of us

formed in childhood.

These Trauma Bonds, to be clear, do show up, of course, in our romantic relationships,

though they also show up in our friendships and our family relationships, pretty much any

relationship that we're in.
