“Trauma Bond” by L. J. Hamilton
A compelling poem that delves into the complexities of trauma bonds. Spoken with a psychological depth of someone who understands.
"Trauma is personal. It does not disappear if it is not validated. It does not magically heal if you pretend it never happened. The only way to dissolve it is to put it in context with a broader story.

- Bessel A. van der Kolk -
Our emotions assign values to experiences and thus are the foundation of reason."

The roots of resilience... Are to be found in the sense of being understood by and existing in the mind and heart of a loving, attuned, and self-possessed other.
