The brain-chemistry trap: dopamine + oxytocin and the trauma bond. Why “great chemistry” ≠ love (it’s intermittent reinforcement). The aftermath: shame, anxiety, dissociation, isolation, and self-blame. The spiritual impact of sexual sin and violated boundaries. How to start healing: no/low contact, detox from triggers, body-based recovery, prayer, safe community, and trauma-informed counseling. You are not broken—you’ve been conditioned. With truth, boundaries, and support, you can reclaim your peace, your body, and your future.
