Am I Trauma Bonded Quiz

Trauma bonding can make it incredibly difficult to leave an unhealthy relationship, even when you recognize the harm it causes. This emotional attachment forms when periods of affection or remorse follow cycles of abuse, keeping you stuck in a painful dynamic. If you find yourself justifying mistreatment, feeling unable to walk away, or constantly hoping for change despite repeated hurt, you may be experiencing trauma bonding.

The 'Am I Trauma Bonded Quiz' will help you assess whether your connection is built on genuine love and forgiveness or a cycle of emotional dependency. Answer honestly to gain insight into your relationship patterns and emotional well-being. If your results suggest trauma bonding, consider seeking support from a trusted friend, therapist, or support group to help you break free.
