The Betrayal Bond: Breaking Free of Exploitive Relationships Audiobook (Free)

Exploitive relationships can create trauma bonds-chains that link a victim to someone who is normally dangerous to them. Divorce, employee relationships, litigation of any type, incest and child abuse, family and marital systems, local violence, hostage negotiations, kidnapping, professional exploitation and religious abuse are all areas of trauma bonding. All these human relationships share a very important factor: they are situations of incredible intensity or importance where there can be an exploitation of trust or power.

In The Betrayal Bond Patrick Carnes presents an in-depth study of these relationships, why they form, who’s most susceptible, and exactly how they become so powerful. He shows how exactly to recognize when traumatic bonding has happened and provides a checklist for evaluating relationships. He then provides measures to properly extricate from these associations.

This is a book you are going to turn to again and again for inspiration and insight, while professionals will find it a great reference work.
