Getting People Completely Hooked On You Through Trauma Bonding

Trauma bonding has gotten a very bad rap lately and anyone who successfully executes getting people hooked via trauma bonding is a "sociopath," a "cruel bastard" and should be dangling from a lamppost in the town square.

Trauma bonding plays a very important role in human relationships and fosters loyalty and unquestioning compliance. A sturdy example of trauma bonding can be found in military service in which trauma bonding is termed "unit cohesion" whereby soldiers bond with their compatriots through repeated cycles of abuse and intermittent reward/punishment.
