Oxytocin is produced in your hypothalamus, a region of your brain that controls emotions. And it's designed to create long-lasting bonds (to give you an idea of how long-lasting its effects can be, oxytocin is also important for bonding mothers to their children). And because oxytocin is also important in friendship, it makes sense that someone you love also feels like your best friend.

Really eye opening.
Victims of (partner)abuse need lots of support and compassion.
Ending an abusive relationship seems incredibly difficult.
'As a society, it is important to understand the various types of biochemical and psychological bonds that often create attachments between abusers and their victims. There needs to be more research conducted on the biochemical and trauma bonds between narcissistic abusers and their victims. Better understanding these bonds enables us to move past victim-bl

Being an abuse survivor, the concept the author writes about makes perfect sense to me. I still struggle with the fight/flight response in reaction to very ordinary, run of the mill scenarios, on a regular basis. It would be nice to know how to stop it. I understand this was merely a 'pamphlet', and the actual book should have been released, but I haven't looked for it.

Brilliant
I've just escaped from this type of relationship. I thought I was ok. I thought I was strong. But I now realise even I, strong, tough, independent me, has been damaged!
The book helped me realise this. I got upset, I cried, I got angry and now I'm going to get help. Hopefully I will be able to move on one day and find a loving fulfilling relationship.
Thank you Shahida x

Excellent and spot on when it comes to describing how it feels to be a survivor and the torment one faces in the aftermath. I finally understand why I stayed when I no longer felt love or connection. This was critical to my healing and letting go.
An insightful book on how one can drawn and locked into psychological abuse, and the tools to gain freedom. A good read.

Fantastic Read
Invaluable information to help me heal from my abusive relationship. Understanding these biochemical bonds and how they work are truly helpful.
utter garbage
Going through the journey of healing, eye opening
I've been going through counseling, soul searching, digging to my depths, researching, journaling and grabbing for any piece of information to help me understand **why** I am still wanting my ex (who is emotionally abusive), despite all of the *very clear reasons* that I shouldn't. This was the missing piece of the puzzle I've been praying for. It finally makes sense. Once I understand something, I can move forward. My hope is to do exactly that a

“many abuse victims don’t wish to let their abusers move onto the next victim after terrorizing them, because they fear that the next person might be treated better, thereby confirming their own sense of worthlessness that was instilled by the abuser in the first place. They may also have an unending sense of needing a real “apology” or seeing karma at work before they feel they can truly let go.” — 2 likes
