Trauma bonds can also look like -

1. Equating abusive dominance to 'risk' or 'passion'.
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's pervasive need to control your behaviour, emotions and thoughts as a form of 'misguided care'.
4. Essentializing someone'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 'rescuer' or caretaker in the relationship even at the risk of losing your own sense of safety & agency.
