Welcome back, friends! I'm thrilled to be joined by Neeta Bhushan, author of "That Sucked, Now What?" and co-founder of the Higher Self Institute. Today, we're diving into trauma bonding and how to cultivate healthier relationships, even amidst pain.

Neeta shares her journey, starting from a trauma-bonded relationship characterized by love bombing and codependency, leading to a dark point where she feared for her life. Despite success in her career, she faced internal struggles from early losses and abandonment wounds.

Leaving her toxic marriage marked a turning point, where she embraced vulnerability and sought help, beginning a seven-year journey of self-healing. She emphasizes the importance of making peace with the past and being radically honest about one's emotional awareness.

Neeta reflects on her pattern of seeking validation externally, a common trait among high achievers, and how it led to attracting toxic partners. She highlights the need to shift focus inward, finding self-love and validation rather than seeking it from others.

Drawing from her experiences, Neeta empowers others to break the cycle of trauma bonding by prioritizing self-awareness and emotional capacity. She stresses the importance of healing oneself before seeking validation in relationships, advocating for radical self-honesty and introspection.

Both Neeta and Dr. Sarah share their experiences with unhealthy relationships, emphasizing the journey of self-discovery and healing. They underscore the significance of facing oneself in the mirror and addressing internal wounds rather than seeking healing through external relationships.
