Narcissists and psychopaths are just a few examples of "pathological lovers." Their charm often lures people in and their partners often develop what's known as "trauma bonds." They're tough to escape, but once you do, the healing can begin.
No one knows this better than Dr. Nadine Macaluso. She was married to the man known as "The Wolf of Wall Street." After years of abuse, she broke free from the trauma bond and became a therapist so she could help other people. Some of the things she shares today are how to recognize red flags in relationships, how to break free from a trauma bond, and how to begin healing.
