To the woman who left — or is trying to — and can't understand why she still misses him:
It's not weakness. It's not love. And it's definitely not proof you should go back.
It's a trauma bond — an invisible chain your nervous system forged to survive the cycle of cruelty and kindness. It's wiring, not character. And it doesn't dissolve just because you finally see the truth. Some women feel it years after leaving. Some feel it even after the person is gone.
I'm teaching a free live masterclass about exactly this:
The Invisible Chain — why you're still bound to the person who hurt you (even now), and how to break it for good
Wednesday 14 October, 7:30pm — live on Zoom with me
I'll show you how the chain forms, why "knowing better" was never going to be enough, and what actually cuts it — starting with your body, not your thoughts. We'll do a few minutes of the work together on the night, and everyone who registers gets my Invisible Chain workbook free.

And if a friend's face came to mind while you read this — send it to her. Sometimes the kindest thing isn't advice. It's a door.
