NOTE: This recorded offering was originally released as an Autumn Equinox teaching.
An essential component of healing from relational trauma is learning to distinguish between our essential relationship with ourselves versus what we absorbed from others. Trauma bonding occurs when another person’s (or family system’s) perception of us infiltrates and overwhelms our own natural perception of ourselves.
The phenomenon of “foxhole buddies” during WWI and WWII refers to the intense bonding that happens in survival situations. This also happens in family systems that have endured relational intensity due to trauma or tragedy. These are relational patterns that follow us into adulthood — into relationship and work settings. Hard-wired survival energy supersedes our better instincts and we can find ourselves in bafflingly dysfunctional or even dangerous situations.
