Description

Even when they want to leave, the trauma bond ignites regions of the brain that cause clients to feel out of control and tied to their abusive partner. They stay, physically or emotionally. But this is not a safe partnership. In this session you’ll view Dr. Rhonda Freeman, a clinical neuropsychologist and narcissistic abuse educator, as she shows you how to identify the highly bonded state of mind, improve your case conceptualization clarity, and help clients disengage with abusive partners.
