Attachment Weaponisation: The Bond Was Never an Accident

Attachment Weaponisation: The Bond Was Never an Accident I never noticed the closeness being built. I just assumed it was love, and assumed what I owed because of it, without either of us ever saying it out loud. Short version: Trauma bonding is usually described as something that happens to you, almost by accident, through unpredictable reward. A 2025 Cambridge study, interviewing eighteen women with sustained attachment to abusive partners, found something sharper underneath that: the closeness itself is often deliberately constructed early on, specifically so it can be exploited later. Researchers call this attachment weaponisation. The unsettling part is that it isn't always obvious while it's happening. It can feel completely organic, right up until you realise how much invisible obligation got built into it along the way. What is attachment weaponisation?

How To Be More Healthy

 I am quite a healthy person but I still have habits I would like to do less of like having a chocolate bar once a month and drinking a can of Coke because that's all is on offer at the time, so I guess we have to prepare as well as set up cupboards and habits to make the bad habits hard and the good habits easy.

I have bought 3 sets of dot stickers from eBay, 300 Green, 300 Black & 300 Red and I have assorted the fridge and cupboards into these 3 categories.

These categories I have invented so feel free to invent your own categories 


Green (Good) = Fruit & Berries, Veg, Water, Eggs, Almonds, Fish, Lean Beef, Chicken, Lamb, Olive Oil,                    dark chocolate

Black (Neutral) = Tea, Coffee

Red (Bad) = processed foods, Sweets, Crisps, Cakes, Milk & White Chocolate, Soda drinks, Ice cream, Sugary breakfast cereals, Chips, White Bread, Hot Dogs, Alcohol, cigarettes, 

I generally say that I should have 98% of green & Black and 2% of the red as the reds have no nutritional value and deteriorate your body rather than help it thrive and survive 


You can write your own categories, these are just an example of mine
