ADDICTED TO THEM
6 Steps to Break the Trauma Bond
You've tried. And somehow you always end up right back where you started. You've replayed the same conversations in your head a thousand times. You've made promises to yourself you didn't keep. You've watched your friends get frustrated. You've wondered: what is wrong with me? Nothing. Nothing is wrong with you. What you're experiencing has a name. It has a reason. It's a trauma bond and it can be broken.
From understanding the trauma bond to breaking it for good. All in one place.

You don't need to be fully out. You don't need to have stopped loving them. You don't need to have it together. You just need to recognise yourself somewhere in this. I'm with you every step of the way.
You know the relationship is toxic but you cannot stop going back
You are out but cannot stop thinking about them
You feel like you are addicted to this person and you hate yourself for it
You have tried to leave more than once and it never sticks
You want to understand what actually happened, not just move on
I'm Nathalia Christensen, a relationship coach specialising in toxic relationships and narcissistic dynamics.
Then you are exactly who this course was made for. Going back is not a character flaw. It is what trauma bonds do. This course explains why it keeps happening and gives you the tools to change it.
This course will still help you. Understanding what is happening is the first step regardless of where you are in the process.
Forever. Come back whenever you need to.
The course is self-paced. Most people complete it over 4-6 weeks but there is no rush. Take the time you need.
No. I am a relationship coach, not a therapist. This course is educational content drawn from personal experience, self-study and real client work. It is not a substitute for professional mental health support.
No. Trauma bonds happen to everyone regardless of gender. The language I use is inclusive and the content applies to anyone who has been in this kind of dynamic.
This course does not include a community or group calls. It is a self-paced solo experience designed for deep personal reflection. If you want ongoing support, I share content daily on Instagram, Facebook, YouTube and TikTok. And if you feel you need more personalised support, I do offer 1:1 coaching calls. You can reach out and book through the link in my bio on Instagram, Facebook, YouTube or TikTok.
