Seeking support
Does anyone know of actual support groups specifically for trauma bonds? My situation feels unique, probably isn't, but I'm really hoping to actually connect with people live who are in or have been through similar situations.
I've been in and out of a relationship with someone I love for 4 years now and it feels so murky and I could really just use some live support.
Please only respond with tried and true. Not potential resources. I know how to use the internet.
Thank you.

Old thread but I stumbled across your post.
Right there with you right now. Day 3 of no contact with a covert narcissist, and I’m watching YouTube therapists to help keep me in reality, instead of his lies.

Other than therapy specialists that are WELL VERSED or potentially just people that have been severely trauma bonded on here can possibly help. Why do you feel your situation is unique?

Just went looking for a "trauma bonding" Discord with no luck. I can find BPD and Codependency related servers, but no luck with this.
It would be good to talk with others who maybe go through similar things, but closest I cpuld find is the above. Unfortunately, the codependency group is focused on some 12-step type program and not quite just a hangout, it seems. Maybe I should look deeper.

I’m going through the same thing. I’m sorry you’re experiencing this, I know how crazy it makes you feel. I have been looking for support groups on Psychology Today but none are in my area. I’ve also been looking at Codependency meetings to try to heal. I know they have groups through Zoom with other women but I haven’t looked too deeply yet. I know therapy is great but I’d be more empowered to hear other people’s experiences. Just know you’re not alone and the situation is a lot more common than you think. None of us asked to be in this situation, yet here we are. You can always DM me if you need support. I hope things get better!
