Here are the top five risk factors that make you prone to entering a trauma-bonded relationship:

1. Insecure Attachment Style: Many of us, including you and me, might have an insecure attachment style, which can lead to difficult relationship patterns. Feeling unworthy of love, fearing rejection, and oscillating between wanting love and avoiding rejection are common issues. This insecurity can lead us to seek validation from unhealthy sources, reinforcing our feelings of unworthiness.
2. Low Self-Esteem: Low self-worth often manifests in our inability to set boundaries and express needs. Boundaries are crucial for healthy relationships, but if you or I don't feel worthy, we might not enforce them, leading to a cycle of neglect and unmet needs. In toxic relationships, our self-esteem can plummet, causing us to neglect our own needs and boundaries.
3. Achiever or Perfectionistic Traits: High achievers and perfectionists often have a strong inner critic and believe they must continuously prove their worth. This can attract partners with narcissistic tendencies who criticize and devalue us, reinforcing our inner doubts and pushing us into a cycle of trying to earn their approval.
