You Understand the Trauma Bond.
Now Let's Break It.
A 3-module guided course for survivors of narcissistic relationships who are ready to move from understanding what happened and start changing how they feel.
You already know the relationship hurt you. But knowing it was toxic hasn’t been enough to make you stop missing them, checking on them, or hoping they’ll change.
HOOKED explains why you feel stuck. This course shows you how to get unstuck.
Ask yourself
Do you already understand what a trauma bond is, but still feel stuck in it?
Are you ready to move from understanding into practice?
Have you read Hooked, or already know the patterns, but still find yourself checking their social media, replaying the relationship, or hoping they'll change?
Do you find yourself blaming yourself for still feeling this way, even though you know it isn't your fault?
If any of that feels true, this course was built for exactly where you are.
Understanding Was the First Step. This Is the Next One.
Knowing why you got attached, and why leaving felt so hard, is not the same as being free of it. Understanding the trauma bond can bring real relief. It can also leave you wondering what to actually do with that understanding.
This course is where the psychology becomes practice: a structured, therapist-guided path to recognize the pattern, understand why it held on, and build the tools to loosen its grip, at your own pace.

What You'll Learn
Module 1: Recognition and Relief
Understand what you are experiencing and why your reactions make sense.
You’ll learn to:
√ Recognize the trauma bond without shaming yourself
√ Identify the cycle that keeps pulling you back
√ Separate emotional attachment from evidence of healthy love
√ Name the patterns that have kept you confused
The shift: “I’m not crazy, weak, or broken. There is a reason I feel this way.”
Module 2: Understanding Why It Holds
Understand what continues to reinforce the bond—even after the relationship ends.
You’ll learn to:
√ Recognize intermittent reinforcement in your own relationship
√ Understand why rare highs can feel more powerful than consistent pain
√ Identify euphoric recall and the addiction to hope
√ Interrupt the self-blame that keeps you emotionally stuck
The shift: “Missing them doesn’t mean I should go back.”
Module 3: Breaking the Bond & Rebuilding Yourself
Move from insight into practical, repeatable action.
You’ll learn to:
√ Create a realistic no-contact or low-contact plan
√ Respond to urges without automatically acting on them
√ Identify the emotional triggers that pull you back
√ Rebuild self-trust after gaslighting and manipulation
√ Begin creating an identity that is no longer organized around them
The shift: “I can feel the pull without letting it control my next decision.”

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this therapy?
No. This course teaches structured psychoeducation and coping tools. It does not replace individual therapy. If you're currently working with a therapist, this can be a helpful companion to that work. If you're not and feel you need more support, please consider reaching out to a licensed provider.
I already read Hooked. Do I need this too?
Hooked explains why you got attached and why leaving felt so hard. This course is where you do the work of loosening that pattern, with guided video lessons, reflection prompts, and a workbook built specifically to help you apply what you learned.
Will this guarantee I stop missing them, or heal completely?
No course can honestly guarantee that. What this course offers is a structured process, real psychoeducation, and practical tools. How you apply them, and your healing timeline, will look different from person to person.
What if I need more support than this course offers?
If you're in crisis or need more support than a self-paced course can provide, please reach out to a licensed therapist or a crisis resource in your area.
Do I need to read HOOKED first?
No. The course can stand on its own. However, if you want a deeper understanding of how the trauma bond formed and why narcissistic relationships are so difficult to leave, reading HOOKED first can create a strong foundation for the practical work inside the course.
Is this only for people who are still in the relationship?
No. This course is for survivors who are still considering leaving, actively separating, maintaining no contact, navigating necessary low contact, or struggling with the emotional attachment long after the relationship ended.
What if complete no contact isn’t possible?
The course includes support for creating a low-contact plan when children, legal matters, work, finances, or other responsibilities make complete no contact unrealistic.
How quickly will I feel different?
Healing timelines vary, and this course cannot promise that you will immediately stop missing them. It gives you a structured process and practical tools you can return to whenever the trauma bond is activated. The goal is not to never have another feeling—it’s to stop letting every feeling dictate your next action.
"No one has hit this on the head as well as you. I now have an answer as to what has been going on, why it continues, and why I continued this painful experience for 33 years. Thank you for giving me myself and my life back, and knowing I can do it."
You already understand the why. Now it's time to build the tools to actually break free.
