Trauma bonds can also look like -

1. Equating abusive dominance to & #39;risk& #39; or & #39;passion& #39;.
2. Futuristic projection that focusses more on what the harmful/toxic relationship might look like in the future rather than take stock of repetitive patterns of abusiveness presently.

3. Interpreting someone& #39;s pervasive need to control your behaviour, emotions and thoughts as a form of & #39;misguided care& #39;.
4. Essentializing someone& #39;s behaviour to their mental health challenges & further creating a dotted line to your own struggles as a way to rationalise abuse.

5. Deriving some form of meagre sustenance or comfort from detrimental role-setting. Attaching significant value to being the perennial & #39;rescuer& #39; or caretaker in the relationship even at the risk of losing your own sense of safety & agency.
