The Voice Of Tamar | S06E08: What Is Trauma Bonding? | Vanessa Hobbs | Miguel Lebron
- Definition of trauma bonding: The term trauma bonding was introduced by Patrick Carnes, Ph.D., author of The Betrayal Bond; Breaking Free of Exploitative Relationships and founder of the International Institute for Trauma and Addiction Professionals (IITAP). While the Foundation for Post-Traumatic Healing and Complex Trauma Research notes that Dr. Carnes first defined the concept as “the misuse of fear, excitement, sexual feelings, and sexual physiology to entangle another person.” Katie Moore, Psy.D., a licensed clinical psychologist based in Irvine, California, who specializes in trauma treatment, says, "Trauma bonding happens when an attachment has formed between an abuser and the person who is being abused."
Source: https://www.forbes.com/health/mind/what-is-trauma-bonding/
- Types of trauma bonding:
- Intimate partner trauma bonding: This refers to the bonding that can occur between an individual and their abusive intimate partner.
- Familial trauma bonding occurs within family relationships, where a victim may form a bond with an abusive or neglectful family member. It can involve feelings of loyalty, obligation, or a desire for approval.
Registered psychotherapist Natacha Duke, MA, RP, also explained in this article The difference between trauma bonding and relationship conflict. She states, "Conflict in relationships is normal and can actually be healthy if both partners are treated as equals and able to communicate and resolve the conflict in a respectful way; but in abusive relationships, the conflict often follows a pattern of gaslighting, manipulation and blaming — along with a power imbalance."
Source: https://health.clevelandclinic.org/trauma-bonding/
- Strategies to overcome and recover from trauma bonding.
- Keep a written record
- Surround Yourself With Loved Ones
- Join a Support Group
- Practice Self-Care: Cut off contact

In today's episode, we discuss trauma and how it affects a person's personal development. Trauma may profoundly affect how people perceive themselves, others, and the world around them.
We also look at successful coping skills that might assist people in dealing with trauma and talking to a therapist, physical activity, and journaling, among others. There is no one-size-fits-all answer; therefore, developing coping mechanisms that work best for each individual is critical.

Embracing grace isn't a guarantee that every pain will go away, but rather that we will have peace during painful moments and lives transitions. When we pray "consume from the inside out," we are surrendering all the parts we can't control, such as emotions we may not be able to explain.

There is a story of a young lady named Tamar. Her father was a mighty king. While he is praised for his ability to rule and his many victories, one thing he is certainly not praised for his ability to father his children. It is said that Tamar’s half-brother Amnon became obsessed with her. His obsession for her became violent, and in the story, he ultimately raped and disgraced her. In the story, we never hear of Tamar’s recovery, and readers are left to presume that Tamar was not able to recover from this pain.
There are many parallels from Tamar’s story to that of many women today. Like Tamar, most women who have been sexually violated are consumed by shame or feel as though they are voiceless. Vanessa Santiago has decided to share the parallels that exist between her own personal story and the story of Tamar, and to be The Voice of Tamar; a voice for the voiceless.
