Trauma Bond Assessment Checklist

Description

Take the First Step Toward Understanding Your Relationship Dynamics

Have you ever wondered why you feel so deeply connected to someone who sometimes hurts you? Do you experience a confusing mixture of love and fear in your relationship? The first step toward healing begins with awareness, and our professionally designed Trauma Bond Assessment Checklist provides exactly that.

This comprehensive assessment tool helps you identify the subtle and often misunderstood signs of trauma bonding—powerful emotional attachments that form through cycles of intermittent reinforcement in relationships with power imbalances. Many people mistake these intense connections for passionate love, when they’re actually biochemical attachments that can significantly impact your wellbeing.
