Today is a difficult day for many of our clients as we remember 9/11 And now also of the recent shooting & loss of Charlie Kirk. We have clients from many different perspectives and backgrounds and we are there to hold space and support all of them despite our own personal values or views. Some days and events can be more challenging for counselors as we manage emotions of our own. Covid, 9-11, political news, common fears, etc can create challenges. So my thoughts and prayers are with my fellow counselors today as well as our country!

Emotional connections formed with an abuser are known as trauma bonds — and healing is possible with the right support.

These bonds can create mixed feelings toward a partner, where moments of manipulation are followed by periods of affection. For those with a history of insecure attachments, this can lead to repeating unhealthy relationship dynamics.

Recognizing these patterns is the first step toward breaking the cycle and beginning to heal.
