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.

We spend years chasing love — from partners, parents, friends, followers. We want to feel seen, held, chosen. But the truth is simple and uncomfortable:

Inspired by Jonny Miller


Jonny Miller’s work changed how I see self-love. Through his Nervous System Mastery course and podcast Curious Humans, he teaches that real healing starts in the body — not the mind.

Jonny doesn’t offer quick fixes. He offers tools for emotional sovereignty.
