Have you ever heard the words “love bombing “ or “trauma”? That word is thrown around a lot but not a lot of people know the true meaning. In my opinion I feel as though trauma and love bombing SHOULD be talked about and acknowledged.trauma is not just about spreading awareness about what you endured, but it’s also an opportunity to heal yourself by being self aware of what you went through. In the article I read there was a question does this language make us more compassionate and sensitive to one another?
I’m going to dive a little deeper into the definition of love bombing, love bombing is when a person showers another with attention or affection and they use that in order to manipulate them.ways people use love bombing are doing things like over the top gestures they could maybe get you some nice expensive clothing or designer jewelry.constant texts and calls throughout the day reminding you that they only want and need you . they make you feel like it’s too good to be true .
Often when people feel like it’s too good to be true that’s because it is, this phrase is often said too often and people think that it really is too good to be true . but people need to wake up and see those red flags in the beginning. Love bombing can leave such a negative effect on a person, such as emotional harm, mental harm and even physical harm . This may lead to trauma. What is trauma? Trauma is a deeply distressing or disturbing experience . The word trauma came from ancient Greeks, who defined trauma as a physical injury. To this day the word is still used for the term physical injury but it is also used now in the context of something emotional .
Victims of love bombing and trauma often go back to it when they are gas lit. why?Because they like the euphoric feeling it gives them. What is gas lighting?gas lighting is when you manipulate somebody using psychological methods into questioning their own sanity or powers of reasoning who has been gas lit may struggle with symptoms of low self esteem,disorientation,self doubt and difficulty functioning in school or at work. gas lighting can be bad for your mental health,it can make you doubt yourself and may also create unhealthy relationships making it feel like its almost impossible to leave and you may lose trust. gas lighters may have a narcissist personality .
To conclude my opinion, I say that love bombing, trauma, and gas lighting SHOULD be talked about more often because of the long term effects it can leave on an individual and the people around the individual .
