🤝 **Trauma Bonding**: How does a narcissist keep you emotionally tied through a toxic cycle of abuse and reward?
This phenomenon can create a deep emotional connection that feels nearly impossible to break.
🔄 **The Cycle**: It often starts with idealization, where the narcissist showers you with affection and admiration. Over time, this shifts to devaluation, where they criticize and belittle you, leaving you feeling confused and vulnerable.
💔 **Why it's Hard to Let Go**: The intermittent rewards—those moments of love and attention—create a powerful psychological grip. You may find yourself longing for the idealized version of your relationship, despite the pain of abuse.
🛑 **Breaking Free**: Acknowledging the cycle is the first step toward healing. Surround yourself with supportive friends or a mental health professional who can guide you out of this toxic entanglement. Remember, you deserve to be treated with respect and care! 💖
