This program examines the neurobiological processes that cause trauma bonding in abusive relationships. It provides a detailed analysis of how the amygdala and prefrontal cortex manage survival, while neurochemicals such as dopamine and oxytocin reinforce emotional attachments. Participants will learn about intermittent reinforcement, the cycle of abuse, and polyvagal theory to understand why victims stay and how the brain mimics addiction patterns. The course concludes with practical steps for breaking bonds and restoring nervous system health through grounded, evidence-based strategies.
