Description

At the core of many toxic relationships isn’t one “bad” partner and a “victim,” but often two people who each have emotional wounds that come together in a powerful force known as a “trauma bond.” This bond can paradoxically drive partners together into painful, repetitive, and dysfunctional behaviours as they try to heal past unmet needs. What can we, as therapists, do in these complex situations? And how can we determine if a trauma bond can be repaired in a relationship? In this practical, skills-based workshop designed for both individual and couples therapists, you’ll discover: 

  • The concept of trauma bonding and how to spot these common toxic relational patterns in your clients’ relationships 
  • Practical tools to help clients understand and overcome relational traumas 
  • Key insights into how to help your clients move towards post-traumatic growth
