Are You Trauma Bonded or Codependent with the Narcissist?

Have you ever found yourself stuck in a toxic relationship, unable to leave no matter how much pain it causes? You might be wondering—am I trauma bonded, or is this codependency? In this episode of Fake Love and Flying Monkeys, we’re breaking down the difference between trauma bonding and codependency when dealing with a narcissist.

Both can feel like an emotional trap, but they come from different places.

I’ll walk you through the signs of both, explain how narcissists exploit these dynamics, and help you figure out what’s really keeping you in the relationship. If you’ve ever questioned why you stay despite the pain, this episode will give you the clarity you need.

Let’s untangle the emotional chains and get to the truth—because understanding what’s happening is the first step toward reclaiming your power.
