About this listen

William Avers takes us on an honest and revealing journey that will help us understand trauma bonding and its multiple faces, from unhealthy attachment to the normalization of the abuse to the concealment and later denial of the truth. William Avers explores the human condition without prejudice or bias because traumatic bonds may occur to anyone.

Contrary to most people’s belief that abusers prey on the weak and foolish, abusers also prey on capable and attractive people because they seek the challenge too. Victims are prone to go to extreme lengths to defend their abusers once they have been indoctrinated by their abusers, this insidious process is very subtle and operates in iterations, becoming more toxic as time goes on. This is why it’s difficult to ascertain just how bad a relationship is.

You will explore tell-tale signs of trauma bonding as well as strategies to cope, prepare and leave an abusive relationship. Every human being wants to be appreciated and loved, lamentably toxic relationships have become more and more common, Avers explores some of the causes for this phenomenon. These relationships distort reality for the victim because we are not taught how to recognize and prepare ourselves for people that are just broken. Despite seeming perfectly normal, and it’s not exaggerated to affirm that some of them actually might want to hurt us whether consciously or unconsciously.

This audiobook explores the concept of trauma bonds, their characteristics, their effects on the victim, and their different manifestations. Throughout the audiobook, we’ll learn about different ways to extricate ourselves from a toxic relationship while learning different strategies to keep our mental clarity and positivity. Understanding the effects of trauma bonding will help you develop strategies and plans to detox from a toxic relationship. While there is no universal time-healing-frame, there are several things you can do to accelerate the healing process. You deserve to live free of all the drama. You deserve to be happy. You deserve to love and be loved in return.
