The Cycle of Abuse : 4 Phases of a Toxic Relationship

The cycle of abuse is a relationship pattern that shows the dynamics of an abusive relationship, and explains why it is sometimes so difficult to leave a partner, even if they hurt us repeatedly. In part, this is because leaving may come at a very high cost, such as losing one's own child or facing homelessness. It is also because the repetition of the cycle often leads to trauma bonding - where the victim comes to see the abuser as both the source of pain and the provider of relief. This paradoxical attachment makes separation feel impossible.
